When I came in, all I know was that I wanted a hot sandwich so my options were limited. I landed on the small Mama T's Meatball Sub which came with three meatballs and Provolone cheese. We waited about 20 minutes for the sandwiches so they suggested we call by phone next time if we didn't want a long wait. The meatballs were huge, which made it a pretty filling sandwich despite the small size. The bread was also good so the only thing that could've made it better was another slice of cheese to cover the entire top. There's no indoor seating so it's to-go orders only. It's a small mom-and-pop shop, and you can tell they're working hard to keep the business going so I was happy to support. read more

Great little Italian deli that is delicious. Reminds me of an old Deli that I used to go to in Culver City . Pick up only, no dine-in.

Excellent food. Fresh bread. Quality meat. Affordable. I frequent this place 2 times each month.

Very nice business owners, and the sandwich is packed with a lot of meat. Can't wait for you guys to try it. read more

Possibly one of the best sandwiches around. As a sandwich lover, this has been one of the best, if not thee best. The sandwiches is simple, easy to order for others, the bread is better than any others, the meat tastes exotic somehow, high grade. They have some delicious pastries; this place is a gem. read more

I went here yesterday and I got 2 pastrami hot 10/10 1 Italian 8/10 1 tuna 7/10 1 roast beef 7/10 1 salami 9/10 Artichokes 10/10 Green olive 8/10 My favorite was pastrami and the salami. The owner said that the pastrami melts in your mouth and he was right!!!! The service was fast for how many sandwiches I ordered. And the inside is nice, not a place to eat there, Which I don't mind at all but for anyone else keep that in mind!!! Next time I go I will definitely try the desserts !!! I definitely recommend this mom and pop shop!!! read more

My wife had a craving for an Italian sandwich so we decided to try this establishment. It did not disappoint! My wife had the Muffaletta sandwich. From the freshly baked bread to the fresh meats and condiments, the sandwich was absolutely delicious! I had an order of spaghetti and meatballs which is only available on Wednesdays. The homemade meatballs were fresh and tasty. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the pasta sauce was on point. This family run business is a gem for sure. Oh, the tiramisu was so yummy! read more

Italian Sub is delicious very tasty. Muffaletta sub is good if you like olives. Recommend calling order inn. Thank you!

Best meatball sandwich around owners are the best plus there macaroni salad is to die for

Small Italian sandwich shop. Came here because I wanted to find a non chain place. This store delivered! Italian meatball sub, bread is fresh, meatballs were good, sauce is good, cheese melted. If any of these are off the sandwich is not good and every single one of these ingredients were at 100%. Will be back to try the rest of the sandwiches. I also got to meet Mama T! read more

Came in at about 230 PM on a Tuesday and was told by staff as I walked in that they were sold out. So I asked "sold out of sandwiches"? and she responded rudely "yes,they ran out of bread". Disappointed I didn't have a great experience but it was enough for me to not want to go back and I wouldn't recommend to others based on the staff. read more

Great sandwiches along with great service! My nephew suggested this place! So glad I listened to him! Owners are fabulous!! Oh and fresh bread daily! read more

I'll start off with "taste, value and freshness". This is a nine inch sub priced right in comparison to other delis. The sourdough bread had a beautiful baked shell on the outside coupled with a great chewy texture. The fresh sliced meats and cheese were generous yet not overdone topped off with crisp veggies and a vinaigrette. The potato salad was cool and fresh with bits of olives, red onion and perfect portions of mayo. Maybe they should add some small circular tables for choice of dine in, nevertheless, I was able to enjoy my delicious sandwich at the park. read more

The sandwiches were really good. However they lose a star for customer service, the old guy is rude.

Came in wanting to try something new, wasn't busy when I came so the employee was able to guide me through the menu. I wanted to try the mortadella but she suggested it wouldn't be good considering I don't like olives, which I appreciated her suggestion. Although helpful, wasn't that approachable. Ended up eating the Italian, definitely a safe choice, bread is a little too hard for my taste. read more

If you want great knowledgeable service & owners that actually care about what they serve you check this place out. Solid fresh sandwiches that don't have a lot of grease and fat. You get what you pay for a good quality fresh sandwich. Bread is fresh daily, need I say more. Not a lot of sitting room, but there are plenty of local parks to take that sandwich & enjoy. read more

Look, I love a good sandwich. It's basically my love language. So when Mama T Parenti's Delicatessen popped up on Yelp with solid ratings, you know I had to make the pilgrimage. And let me just say--worth it. The whole place gave me major nostalgic vibes--like the classic corner deli I grew up with. Personal, warm, and refreshingly not part of some giant sandwich chain trying to upsell me on a bag of chips. This is the real deal. We tried the Italian sub and the roast beef, and both were great. Unlike some places, I didn't have to ask for extra meat or try to locate the roast beef with a magnifying glass. These sandwiches came stacked and everything--from the bread to the toppings--was super fresh and flavorful. Honestly, I'm torn. Do I wish Mama T's was closer so I could eat there every day? Absolutely. But also... that might be dangerous. For my wallet and my waistline. Sorry forgot to take pictures. read more

The deli meats are freshly sliced to order. The service was fantastic. They are very friendly. It's a small sandwich shop with a few tables & chairs. They had great customer service and delicious sandwiches. We were so hungry we ate our sandwiches before I could take a picture... lol read more

I found this place on Yelp. The first time I went, they were closed for the weekend, but I decided to try again on another weekend. I ordered three sandwiches, and the portions were huge, but the bread was super hard. They also have other items you can buy like potato salads, pickles, tiramisu, and cannolis. It was my first time there, and after ordering my sandwiches, I had to wait. I noticed a side fridge with additional items, so I added more stuff when I went to pay. The workers all seemed very annoyed when dealing with customers, which was a bit upsetting. I noticed they had the same attitude with other customers who came in. The sandwiches were just okay, but the tiramisu was good. There was nowhere to sit and eat, so everything was to-go only. Ambiance was just a typical deli, things were blocked off, pretty sure it's because of Covid read more

If you are looking for an authentic delicatessen from a small mom and pop owned deli THIS IS THE PLACE. Great vibes, great sandwiches, great prices. The family working here are great and seem like they know their regulars. I've been here twice and have gotten the roast beef with Swiss and the muffaletta and they SLAP (super tasty) and more affordable than two large sandwiches from Subway. Looking forward to try their tiramisu as the person in front of me ordered 4 for themselves haha. read more

This was my second visit to Mama T's. I called in advance and ordered a couple of sandwiches. I ordered the Italian and Roast Beef and both were delicious. When I arrived, I was greeted with a smile and felt super welcome. There is a reason why people love this place, great food and friendly service. I love supporting small family businesses like this one. read more

Great place sandwhiches are great. Owner and his wife are friendly and place is always super clean.

Went there for the first time today and we really loved the owners. The sandwiches were amazing and very good quality meats and cheeses. The cheesecake was very creamy and delicious. We will definitely be back. read more

I knew I needed a return visit to try out their popular meatball sub. I still hate the fact that they have room for some indoor seating but have removed all of tables. This time they had a really surly older guy running the register. Dude needs some training in customer service. But, it's still a 5-star sandwich. The sub is served on a delicious roll and the meatballs are incredibly flavorful and moist. Delicious provolone and sauce. I can put up with "Old Salty" running the register for a killer sandwich like this. read more
