The sandwiches are great and they have a variety of options. I usually just get a ham or prosciutto specialty sandwich. Their clam chowder is also very flavorful. The service varies, but unfortunately it's a bit slow. The wait is an average of 20+ minutes from my past experiences. They have a pull tab, but they don't consistently use the numbers and it's slightly disorganized. The prices are a bit expensive, but it's the Napa area so what can ya do lol. The employees are nice and welcoming, but ordering here the first time might be intimidating since you might miss the pull tab and not know where and how to put in an order. They also have a bunch of other small items and drinks around the store. Pictures will be attached. Other than the wait, their sandwiches are pretty good if you're willing to wait. read more

Food is great. I love the #9. Everything is fresh! Service is slow and most of the staff doesn't smile. Long lines don't seem to bother them. Lunch time can take over 30 minutes before you can even order. Don't come if you are in any sort of time limit. I think they loose 25% of their customers because they get tired of waiting. read more

Pre ordered online - service was quick and my order was ready. Sandwich was good - not the best in my life but solid. Will come again. read more

Genova Delicatessen - Turkey on Dutch crunch with everything - Delis Near Me - Napa, California

Great fast sandwiches, never overstuffed, always classic, great flavors. Today we got "number four" with just enough, fresh basil, balsamic, and a splash of olive oil that seeped nicely into soft ciabatta. If you like your bread toasted, you better say it otherwise it's soft but not soggy. We also got some local beer, brewed at Mare Island for the first time. The pilzner was bitey and good. They also had a brew called "Vallejo", a lager. The shop itself has a coffee shop and a place to purchase local and imported eats and treats. We got an Aqua Pena Tuscany, natural springwater just for kicks. There are wonderful, frozen lasagnas and pastas. I've had these before and they're always quite good. Fresh pasta, and great ingredients. We also purchase some local candy, one of which is like a hard gummy. The candies are tiny and imported from Italy. Don't forget deli meats if you like that sort of thing. We are fans of mortadella and they have both the imported and the local kind. We bought the local kind that doesn't have pistachios, but if you like it with pistachios and a little salty, the imported one is great too. Service was fast and friendly. Ambiance is that of an Italian deli for sure with a lot of wood and a little bit of an 80s to 90s feel. Tables were cozy and wood. read more

Omg, so good. Although, I came at lunch time (busy time), the staff stayed calm, remained professional and that made my 1st time even better. My sandwich was soooo yummy. Reminded me of Giovanni's in West Oakland. Definitely going back. read more

First tip is to make sure you grab a number upon entering. Once your number is called at the deli counter, you may order. Staff was surprisingly not the most welcoming when I let them know (politely) they had skipped my number. I was standing off just a few feet to the girl's right, so it isn't even as if she called it and I missed it. The vibe had more of an unspoken "yeah, yeah hurry up"... so rather than ordering all I had hoped from the deli case, I just grabbed one side and called it at that. This is my 2nd time in, but fortunately only my first interaction that made me feel that way. The sandwich (Dino Special) was pretty good and packed with filling- I'd get that again. read more

We have been driving from Fairfield to your deli for more than 15 years. We have recommended Genova to family and friends. All experiences have been great until today 4/10/26 the girl that took our order had a very friendly look while talking to a coworker. As soon as she looked at us the look turned to disgust. While we ordered our sandwiches she kept curling her upper lip in disgust. Not wanting to risk her doing something to our food we took the clear message that we are not welcome there and cancelled our order. Will share our experience with family and friends. read more

Foods was OK! Cashier should be happier with their position.... smiles go a long way for an enjoyable meal! read more

my grandma used to take me to this restaurant / deli in North Oakland called Genova some of the best sandwiches I've ever had from there when I found out that it's one in Napa, California. I drove from Vallejo with no hesitation. The service was fast and very 101 with your sandwich maker if you haven't been to any of their locations, the one in Napa also said don't go to the one in Walnut Creek. It's not the same "we make sandwiches way better than them" ... I laughed and told them this is the only one that I'll be coming to. This is a must try Deli... read more

It was recommended to stop here so we did, and I wish I had brought a cooler to take everything home with me! They had frozen Ravioli and lasaganas that looked delicious. But we ordered sandwiches from the deli, like other reviews mentioned grab a number when you arrive. The bread was soft and fresh and a large selection of sandwich meats, cheeses and other toppings, they have a meatball and sausage option as well. They have a delicious counter or cold salads as well as packaged chips. They have a coffee bar or a refridgerated area of drink options as well as a bottled wines. They have a few seats in the coffee area. Note there was not a public restroom available but a CVS next door. Thr shop is filled with packaged Italian treats, olives, pastas, sauces and more. I would stop here again for a sandwich! Plenty of parking. read more

109/2024 Love it here, I try to visit when I am in Napa. Love the Pesto Tortellini. Everything was perfectly seasoned and just right blending if the sourness and saltiness of spices. Ordered the #4 on their Specialty Sandwiches: Prosciutto, Fresh Basil, Tomatoes, Fresh Mozzarella on Ciabatta bread. Every bite was delicious! Not so friendly person who served me. Very straightforward no smile of a person and a pleasant visit this time. They also serve hot dishes too like Lasagna, spaghetti, meat balls and more! Love it here read more

Prices have gone sky high for sandwiches. Asked for italian combo on crunchy sourdough and got my sandwich on a limp dick very thin white roll. No more. Goodbye bye genovas. read more

Great deli in Napa! Don't forget to grab a number when you first walk in. Service was top notch for a place that was so packed. Went on a Saturday afternoon and the people kept coming in. The menu is filled with so many options. I feel like I need to go back for more reviews on everything else. This time we got a couple of sandwiches. Tried the #3 - salami, provolone, red peppers and mushrooms on Dutch crunch. Also comes with a little oil and vinegar which was perfect. Hubs tried salami with smoked gouda also on Dutch crunch bread. Both sandwiches were great! Everything tasted so fresh and price was fair for your portion. We kept hearing about the pastas so absolutely need to go back to try 'em. There's also an espresso and wine bar for some beverages to enjoy with your meal. Overall great spot. Come and check it out for yourself. read more

My Chicken salad was excellent except I asked for mayo/mustard on bread he didn't add, he just did not follow instructions on our other sandwiches either stated no mayo he put extra asked for Dijon mustard he used regular mustard headed to PGA golfing just scraped off mayo. Why don't people write down orders? read more

This Italian deli is so classic and classy. The men wear white shirts and ties. Everyone works efficiently and is knowledgeable about the products. There will probably be a wait, but worth it. Be sure to grab a number on the way in. They have deli sandwiches, hot meatballs, roast beef and a multitude of salads. You can order pastas ready to bake or grab a premade frozen meal. Such a great place. read more

I got a couple of meatballs and was surprised they were $1.99 each, until I looked at them. They were extra large and worked well for me. Mainly, I was super impressed with the "spaghetti sauce" they were in! The best I've had, and that's without any wine in it! It was great they gave complimentary garlic bread as well! read more

This place is amazing for custom sandwiches, plus they have great hot/cold foods, salads, meats, and cheeses! My current fave is the simple but perfect polenta with marinara. The staff is awesome, the layout is great, and they have outdoor seating! I'm a regular and always happy! read more

My family grew up going to the Oakland location. It was my father's favorite deli. So it was a treat for us when we went. I got sandwiches from there till the day it closed. Now Napa is my go to location. It is just the same as I remember growing up. One of the employees from Oakland is currently at Napa location still making sandwiches. The ambiance gives me nostalgia, I love it! I always order the Italian combo on wheat with everything. I don't know what it is but I can't find anything even to come close. The pesto pasta is delicious! I know it's a splurge but I have to get the spumone, it's the best! It's one of my favorite places to get a bite to eat from. read more

solid italian sandwich, but not the best. heads up, their sourdough roll is chewy not crunchy. i prefer a bit more body and crunch to my sourdough. although theirs has a decent chew for a soft bread, if you're into soft. ingredients are delicious, but wish there was more of them considering the high prices. $20 for a sando and they skimp? = minus one star. service, ha that was mediocre at best. the young guys taking our orders were indfferent and robotic with zero personality. does it hurt to at least smile while acknowledging your paying customers, bud? subtracting another star for their bleh service. the market has a quaint offering of italian goods, but also not the best or most extensive market out there. read more

Ok, there are deli's and then there's Genova. We were looking for gas and happened upon this gem. Opened in 1926 and it feels old school in the best way possible. We met Abraham who guided us and decided on the straight Italian sub. ( no may/no mustard) Simply put, this is quality meat and service. I couldn't decide on a salad ( they have a ton) and went w the calamari. Wonderful. Abraham was nice enough to also give us a sampling of the Greek ( how nice ) We have dear friends in Napa and other than the fabulous wine we tried, this is now a must visit. Side note, if you're staying Air b & b this is the the place to stop by and grab you're ingredients for an italian feast. read more

Seems like it is under new management or something. Employees were not friendly, and did not make my order correctly.

What happened? You can read my prior review singing the praises of this place. First sign something was off - no line. Wife ordered the old go to, and when my sandwich was handed to me I thought... did you forget something? This is puny. Like, really small. The sandwich tasted good, sure, and yes, there was a lot of meat for the bread. But this was like 1/3 of the old sandwiches they did, and the prices went up! That's decidedly not amore. Real bummer. At these prices and portions this place is a joke. Arrivaderci, Genova. You were good while you lasted. read more

Genova Delicatessen - One small, small, expensive sandwich that is maybe 1/3 the size they were a couple years ago. And more expensive. - Delis Near Me - Napa, California

Wish I took pictures! Been there 3 times, as I don't live in Napa, and both times food was amazing! You don't know what you will encounter on how busy it is. First time we went was in the fall we waited (gladly) for 40 min. The roast beef sandwich was fresh and the it was a packed sandwich! The Italian meatballs reasonably priced good size and delicious ! The other times not as busy but they were in the winter so can understand. Well worth going to. Love getting my Italian jar of copy cat Nutella but healthier! It is a bit pricey but WELL WORTH IT! read more

One of the best sandwich spots in mid Napa. Not only is an Italian delicatessen. It has a vast selection of local wines and a staff that caters to the customer. From take home gnocchi and ravioli to have pasta do it yourself every sauce, oil, and fish in a can is available here They've got hot Italian classics ready to take out or to build you the sub sandwich that taste like eating at a deli in it Florence. I only wish you could DoorDash this quality. My wife and I are huge fans and regular customers a true gem of Napa. read more

Who doesn't love an Italian Deli? Located in Napa on the east side of Trancas, go check out Genova's. I had gone there years ago when working on a project in Napa.

Lots of choices to keep you coming back. Hope you enjoy! read more

Traditional old school Italian Deli with great staff and fantastic food. I ordered the Italian Combo sub and it was fantastic. My wife ordered the tomato feta salad. Really good. We were navigating to Oakville Grocery and came here instead. Great alternative if you are in the wine country and want a great sandwich and picnic food. Plus they make their own raviolis and fresh pasta. We will be back soon. read more

This place went down hill after the lady (middle age with black hair) started working here. Everytime I ordered we were disturbed by her lack of cleanliness. She makes sloppy sandwiches and is the only one who charges extra for cheese. Another time she was sweeping and kicking up the dust from the ground while another worker was making me a sandwich. Another time she had a wet sneeze and went on a LOUD laughing attack with the other workers. She's the only woman working up front. She really should get a job as a bar tender with her attitude. We can't go back as long as she works here. She's gross. She's so obnoxious its like she's trying to I get a rise out of people. How does she get away with her behavior and lack of cleanliness. I went to subway....very clean compared to her. read more

When did they stop stocking fresh ravioli by the box?? My main reason for going there. Also they were so slow and they were not busy. Guess I'll have to resign myself to getting the frozen one at Safeway. How disappointing. Place looks the same. read more

Oh, man. What can I say about this place... great service, fresh, amazing food, plethora of options, both for now and for later... Italian is one of my fave foods. Sandwiches is another. When you put the two and two together, no way to go wrong... Ive never been here when they first opened. But, this is the best time to come here, as not too much competition for lunch at 9am. This place is the bomb and I highly encourage everyone to give it a shot!! Every time I'm in town, this is my to go to!!! read more

This place really slipped. It wasn't exactly "Italian" to begin with either (more Portuguese than anything) - but now it is basically a Mexican delicatessen. Nobody spoke English that worked there, literally I had to get someone to interpret for me. I asked which was the best polenta and of course they pointed to the most expensive one.. Also the sandwiches are dry and mostly bread. Not sure how still in business to be honest read more
