    Definitely one of the best hole in a wall spot I ever been :) This place reminds me of being in New York.. every vibe is Brooklyn all over.. the decorations and even the servers itself is NYC. The moment when I walked in with my dad doesn't feel like I'm in the IE. Their service is top notch cause they accommodate us through out our lunch. I ordered their Brooklyn Bridge Grinder, which is a classic Italian sub with their own twist.. Mann that was so good. I'm actually craving it right now while reviewing this lol. When I bite into it.. super hearty and pack of flavors from its vinaigrette sauce. My dad ordered their famous fried chicken.. I tasted it and damn no wonder it's famous. Overall, definitely a food spot to be whenever I visit Upland.

    Eggplant sub
    Bruce S.

    Wow! The kind of place where you have it for the first time and just what excited because there's a new go to Italian sub that meets your needs. I'm a huge grinder fan. My favorite in the LA area is Baycities.. if you know you know.. with that said, the Brooklyn Bridge grinder is the next best thing I've ran into. We visit this area often so I look forward to having this many more times. The menu and all the foods along with the pastries look great. My wife ordered the eggplant sub and she liked it more than the one at Baycities. Staff was friendly and the place is a clean little gem with delicious smells that make it very inviting.

    Eggplant Hot Sandwich
    Alex M. ..

    Eggplant Parm is the best sandwich easily. Don't make a mistake like me and try fried chicken here. Pretty bad flavorless chicken jerky. But the old school Italian deli stuff goes HARD Idk what I was thinking trying to be adventurous lol.

    I have to say, all the goods I've tried here have been really good. As far as food, I've had a sandwich here before and it was also good, but it wasn't anything too extraordinary. Solid food and even better sweets. I also want to shout out Jason, he is the man !

    Pastrami Hot Sandwich
    Carlos S.

    The pastrami tasted like it came straight from the old world but with fresh, modern flavors. It was sliced incredibly thin and paired perfectly with the melted cheese. The service was professional, warm, and very welcoming. We're already planning to come back to try even more. We also tried the chili, which was loaded with rich, robust flavors. Thank you -- we'll definitely be returning!

    Brooklyn Bridge Grinder

    The sub was good. I love a good sub. It could have used a little extra dressing or oil but overall good sandwich. I want to go back and try their soups. They are really nice inside of there.

    .., their delicious ham & Swiss!
    Chuck A.

    .., my second round with Donza's and it was better than the first. I had chosen the pastrami sandwich on my first visit and the flavors did not disappoint, but for the size and price I was. My work colleague is obsessed with their ham & Swiss and cannot stop talking about it! So I finally came back and he was right lol. Their Ham & Swiss is definitely larger than their pastrami, not significantly but for the price which was around $13 I believe, I'd def come back for it. The bread was firm but giving, ham was freshly sliced and savory, the Swiss was a nice touch, the thinly sliced pickles were definitely the cherry on top of this beautiful deli morsel of goodness. I can still taste the flavors in my mouth and it makes me debate on coming back sooner lol, thank you Donza's!

    This location is off the 10 fwy exit mountain ave. Walking In the door you catch the Italian aroma of fresh pizza, hot sandwiches and Rib eye steaks !! Service is great! They also offer an array of hot soups pizza by the slices and wholes pizza for the family! There are also lots of cold pasta salads to choose from. I definitely recommend coming here as food is always fresh , hot and delicious !

    Been wanting to try this Italian deli for awhile and finally did it. The place was packed with Italian goodness. From the super friendly staff to the delicious food. The place is a combination of a restaurant and a market. It gives you the vibe of an Italian market in Italy, clean and inviting. Would definitely recommend and be back.

    Pastrami Hot Sandwich and Meatball Hot Sandwich
    Brianna K.

    One of my favorite spots to eat! Everything here is so good. The pastrami sandwich and meatball sub is always a go-to order for us but the beer battered fish fridays are also great!

    I've been to this place before, but the location in West Covina. I remembered them having really good sandwiches. Never tried the soup though. This place is actually really big inside. Love the way it's decorated kind of like old Timey Italian. The service here is really good. The people are friendly and very helpful. The girl at the counter was super sweet and gave me the top two soups to choose from. I ordered the 16 ounce cup of soup and half sandwich. I decided on a turkey sandwich. It's always my go to and perfect with a cup of soup. I asked the girl what were her most popular soups, and she suggested the vegetable beef barley so I ordered it! My husband ordered the clam chowder and a hot pastrami for his meal. The turkey sandwich was delicious but it could have came with a little more meat. The soup though.... Great choice it was fire!!! Huge chunks of beef, and soft flavorful veggies! Wow so glad I took her advice! The broth was so yummy and packed with flavor. The pastrami was really good as well they did pack that one with meat. The clam chowder was not good. My husband had to change it for the chicken and rice. The chicken and rice was good as well not as good as the vegetable beef but had loads of chicken chicks and rice and veggies. I will definitely be back to try their roasted chicken as that's all I could smell while I was there and it smelled divine! Thanks for your hospitality old world deli!

As soon as you walk in you get git with that Italian restaurant smell (idk how else to describe it) so I was hopeful that it would be good. The restaurant is dimly lit so it creates an intimate atmosphere. Very cozy. Our server was friendly and helped me choose between two dishes I wanted. We started with bread service which includes a few different styles of bread along with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. For my entree I went with the clam linguine. It comes with chopped clams, garlic in a white wine sauce and also has a few whole clams in shell. It was so good. It was very "seafoody" which was just what I was craving. I also got to taste the carbonara, which was also very tasty. It had plenty of pancetta and the sauce was rich. Overall a good experience.

Of note, unrelated to our visit, an issue erupted between a customer & a patron that felt uncomfortable for myself & our group because it became a shouting match. This definitely could've been handled in a more professional manner. I'm not placing any blame on either party but de-escalating it would've been appreciated. Overall, the food was delicious. The pasta tasted fresh. The pesto sauce was a tad salty for my taste but it was flavorful. The meatballs were soft, you can taste the quality in their food. We noticed a few flies/gnats flying around our areas & had to swat them away plenty of times. Despite the issues encountered, our group had a pretty good enough time at this pasta shop. I hope the business owner is able to take some of these things in consideration for the sake of its success. Thank you.
