    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

    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

    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!

    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!

    .., 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!

    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.

    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 !

    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!

If you're looking for some of the best eats you've ever had ... I literally drive all the way from the SFV to come to this place when I'm craving a delicious sandwich and the best chocolate chip cookie you can buy. Italian dishes made fresh and even to go options galore. It's like a boutique deli grocery store. Parking: small free parking lot on site ( literally only 4 spaces) + handicap parking. There is a lot across the street you can park at as well. Ambiance: Rustic, quaint, casual. But cute enough to have a date at as there is limited seating. Trust me, if your date likes some good Seating: seat yourself. small tables though, up to 4 maybe 6 people max. And cute two people tables for a sweet date. Food: Prosciutto de Parma with pesto mayo is my go to. I even ask for them to today it because I like the miserable melted. I'll be honest and say I don't like cheese... Except the mozzarella they have here, it's exquisite. Secret ingredient is there pesto mayo. It elevated an already tasty sandwich to an incredibly delectable masterpiece with the prosciutto slightly toasted. Turkey Sandwich: hearty and so fresh. My husband loves this. Pick up hair pink sauce and some fresh pasta too! This place has so many options to try out! Chocolate chip cookie: do not leave this place without trying their cookie. They sell out quick too so call ahead and reserve it!

As I was buying my sausages. soft pretzels, and potato salad, the lady said very little to me and the gentleman, nothing at all. When I tried speaking German, the lady said she didn't remember much of the language anymore. This blunt, "tell it like it is" way of interacting is pretty much how my family used to be, so I found it familiar -- even comforting. But it's easy to see how this can rub people the wrong way, especially if they're used to American (or even modern German) - style customer service. Everyone who found this rude is making reasonable statements. But to me this is more a case of people who have been doing the same thing for a long time without making updates. Decor-wise, place also seems to recreating the Germany that someone remembers from decades ago. The blue and white bunting, the beer steins, the picture of the Pope and other memorabilia make the place feel distinctly Bavarian, in a touristy way. A lot of places in Germany, even in the more traditional south have moved on. But my hope is that this place does continue until the proprietors retire with dignity or sell the business to some German-Americans with a passion for prepping and selling this type of food.
