    Mortadella (Persian Style) Wow what a great sandwich!
    Chris S.

    My god, this place delivered! Went here on a whim for lunch, because it was close to the house. The staff was great and friendly! The inside reminded me of an old style deli/cafe, which was awesome. The sandwiches were great! We've had Mario's in Glendale, Giamela's, Proof, and various other sandwiches in the area , but this sandwich is easily in the Top 3! Thank you again Cafe Izzi

    Heard about this place for awhile but it abit far from where I live so finally got an opportunity to visit since going to Hollywood Bowl for a concert and this is about 15mins away. 1st, parking can be street meter parking, or if you lucky they have small 5-6 free spaces behind their shop. Their outdoor patio is cute and overlooking the street. The inside is very black and white and bright too. Very clean and very well organized. The menu is simple and very direct. The staff or the owner are very charming, friendly and helpful. Got helped to get the right 1st pastrami sandwich here plus an Italian sandwich with iced latte and iced caramel coffee. You ordered and pay. You can see how they assemble the sandwich too since it right there nearby the cashier place. Once it down, they bring the foods to your table. They do have inside seating and it's charming and cute little area too. They do come check on you once in awhile so the services here are excellent for small shop. Details of packing and caring are exceptional. The pastrami is just delish, much better than others that I had in LA and most of NY places (yes I had plenty lately). The meats just tendered, juicy, sweet tasty per my kid's pov, and well thick cut. Simple delicious - I wish I didn't have to share my 1/2 to my kid. The Italian sandwich is also well packed and well mixed of the cold meats...simply yummy and refreshing with the veggies. The coffees are good too, nothing special but just right with the foods. Overall, perfect place for the pastrami and I am totally highly recommended. Just wish that the shop is closer to my place. Will come back for more when in this side of LA.

    Mortadella Persian way & Pastrami Star
    Caryl Keith B.

    Saw Cafe Izzi all over TikTok for having one of the best pastramis around my area, so naturally I had to see if the hype was real. We ordered the hot pastrami star and wow... every bite was packed with flavor. The pastrami was incredible, layered in bread that was crispy on the outside but still soft inside. We also tried the mortadella sandwich Persian style and you can really taste the quality of their cold cuts. The fresh herbs tied everything together so well. I also tried their brown sugar latte. Flavor was good but I personally like my coffee stronger and this one tasted a little watered down for me. The food was great, the cafe itself is super cute and cozy, but what really made this a 5-star experience was the hospitality. Everyone was so warm and welcoming, and they even boxed up our leftovers for us. Definitely bringing my kid next time so we can try their gelato.

    Spotted this cafe on my way to the freeway entrance and stopped by to check it out. It's a cute little cafe with both indoor and outdoor seating. They serve mortadella and pastrami sandwiches which looked amazing. I have to come back and try one. I ordered a cold brew coffee which tasted great. I took it black with no milk or sweetener, the taste was amazing. They also make gelato on site so I gotta try that as well. Will update my review once I come back. Customer service was friendly and welcoming.

    Hot Pastrami Izzi Way

    The BEST Hand Cut Pastrami Sandwich I've ever had. The meat quite literally melts in your mouth. And the bread is perfect...airy yet chewy with a light crunch. The team working there are also so nice and relaxed. Such a gem. I am so happy I've found this place before it becomes viral, because their sandwhiches are perfection

    Italian sandwich
    Anastasia C.

    The Italian sandwich blew my mind. Exceptionally good!! The person at the register was friendly and kind, and the space itself had ample seating and a great atmosphere.

    We each had the Italian. Wonderful take on an Italian sub. With best in class bread and fresh ingredients.

    I was patiently awaiting their opening since I live in the neighborhood. Finally had a chance to stop by this past week for the first time. This place definitely did not disappoint. The shop is very cute and cozy, and the menu is pretty simple. We came here to try the pastrami sandwich and the Persian mortadella sandwich. The staff were super nice, and we had our food in less than 10 minutes. I've had my share of mortadella sandwiches in my life, and this version was one of the best I've had! This will become a regular in my rotation. Also, the pastrami sandwich was delicious, it melts in your mouth. There are a lot of places serving pastrami nowadays, and these guys are one of the top contenders. I'm glad this is very local to me, and I can stop by anytime I want.

    Regular pastrami sandwich
    Patty A.

    We tried the spicy pastrami and the regular pastrami sandwiches. Both were delicious! The bread was fresh had a crisp bite but was also soft! Just like the bread you find in Louisiana in shrimp po boy sandwiches. The sandwiches were stuffed! Refreshing now a days, when other restaurants reduce quantity. Two people can easily share one. Not too many sides but you don't really need it. Just get a crisp coke!

    Turkey and avocado was huge and tasty
    Peter V.

    A great little corner cafe on Los Feliz blvd. Nicely designed with a modern open kitchen. Turkey n avocado on rustic bread with nice trimming was huge and tasty. Their hand carved pastrami is the real deal. Sandwiches here are plenty enough for 2.Window and outdoor seating or takeaway . Wonderful owner and counter person too.street parking a bit tight so use main blvd.

    Pastrami Slaw
    Chandler J.

    YO!!!! Run don't walk. If you're thinking about it (and craving REAL FRESH ITALIAN SUBS) don't think, just go here. So so good. I got the Italian (incredibly good) and my husband got the pastrami slaw (unbelievably good.) If you're looking for the euro summer vibe, they have it. Very cute patio. House made gelato. The freshest most delicious sandwiches and we were greeted by the most lovely staff, two hard working gentlemen in the back. While we waited, she let us sample the gelato which was INCREDIBLE (try the strawberry cheesecake and tart with berry.) this will be a new weekly staple for us! My Italian ancestors are smiling down on me today.

Out server Emily was a delight. So friendly and accommodating (and thanks again for the Baklava!) We had the lamb shwarma plate and the fried chicken plate, both with hummus. Also a side of the Za'atar/sumac fries. Fries came out first PIPING hot, crispy, seasoned perfectly nom nom. The entrees quickly followed. The lamb was so tender and juicy and bursting with flavor. And the fried chicken was AMAZING. Shwarma that is breaded with an amazing mixture and fried. Genius! The plates also came with hummus topped with whole chickpeas (YUM), dilled rice, a cabbage salad and other greens, grilled pita bread, olives and my personal favorite, pickled radishes. Many reviews describe them as beets (which I also love) but these are radishes and they pair so well with the rich meat. An umami bomb! Portions HUGE (we have a full meal waiting in the fridge) and prices very reasonable. Patio is a very fun hang with pretty lights. My only knock is on the chairs which are not exactly "comfy." But that's a trivial issue. Service was attentive and staff so friendly and helpful. I can't remember Emily's colleague's name but shout out to her and her Rasputin's shirt (yay Berkeley vibes.)

This location on Wilshire Blvd in Koreatown is the smallest of the three I've visited, with under 10 seats available. It's a compact shop, and most customers opt for takeout. It's a narrow shop, and most customers take their orders to-go. I've previously enjoyed the La Paradiso and La Toscana, with the La Paradiso being my personal favorite. For our first visit with our son, we asked the staff for recommendations, and they suggested either the Venice Beach (Turkey) or the New Yorker (Roast Beef). The staff was incredibly generous, offering a roast beef sample, which our son loved! We also appreciated them providing ice and straws for our water. We ordered the New Yorker ($19.00) with roast beef, porcini cream, tomato, and arugula. The sandwich was thoughtfully cut in half, perfect for sharing. The schiacciata bread boasts a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior, which beautifully complements the meats and cheeses. We opted to substitute the porcini cream for mozzarella, which was sliced into perfect bite-sized pieces and tasted incredibly fresh. The roast beef was thinly sliced and tender, the tomatoes were fresh and sliced to perfection, and the arugula added a delightful peppery crunch. It's a well-balanced sandwich and one of the best in LA. We would definitely order it again. A big thank you to the female staff member who expertly cut the meat and offered samples, assisting us in making the perfect choice for my son's sandwich. This experience was truly a positive one for our family. I would definitely return to AAV for the excellent food and service. Given the small size of the shop, takeout is recommended, especially during peak hours. The sandwiches at AAV are so good! Fuggedaboutit!
