The ambience inside in service is not really friendly. We walked in there was nobody in line. No hello welcome or anything. But we were hungry. I got a turkey and roast beef sandwich with extra meat. Extra meat is only three slices for four dollars. That's a little steep. The bread is not fresh. They pull that out out of a bag. It had like that old stale taste to it. Definitely would not recommend and it's all drenched in canola oil sauce. A sandwich from Safeway or Raleys taste better and 1/3 of the cost. read more

Make sure to swing by and grab some sandwiches. The staff is super welcoming and they whip up a killer sandwich. Don't forget to grab some extra napkins. I'll definitely be returning for more. read more

If you're in downtown I'd suggest stopping at the Orin Swift Tasting room and then walking down the block for a sandwich from this place. These are FAT sandwiches, they come with micro greens and the works and you can add a bunch of other things for additional charges. The service is a deli line and it moves as quick as whoever is ordering in front of you. The people are nice and you have plenty of customization options. There are seats inside and a bunch of old decor that has obviously been collected over the years. Great, reasonably priced spot downtown! read more

This place has the best sandwiches Get the Giugni juice on the side if you are traveling / to go because it will soak the sandwich and get soggy. Local tipster gave me that one and it was epic read more

A great local spot with some delicious sandwiches! I was recommended this place by a coworker that used to live in the area and it did not disappoint. My group and I ordered ahead for pickup and when we arrived we were able to grab them right away. There is a wide selection of options (meat, bread, cheese, accessories, etc) which I absolutely loved. I ordered the cajun turkey with cheese on the rosemary focaccia and it was delicious! Definitely recommend if you find yourself craving a yummy sandwich in the area. read more

During a delightful day trip to St. Helena, my cousin and I found ourselves wandering the charming streets after indulging in some delicious English muffins from Model Bakery. As we explored, we stumbled upon W J Giugni Deli and decided to take a peek inside. Intrigued, I quickly turned to Yelp, where the first review I read about the deli was so glowing that we knew we had to give it a try. I'm thrilled to say it did not disappoint! The sandwich we shared was absolutely delicious--so much so that I now wish I had gotten one all to myself! I've been daydreaming about those flavors for days and can't shake the craving. I did attempt to return for another sandwich; however, I discovered they open at 9 AM, and I had other plans. That just means I need to come back soon! If you're in St. Helena and looking for a satisfying yet light meal, W J Giugni Deli is the place to go. Highly recommend it for anyone craving a fantastic sandwich! read more

Awesome sandwiches. They are the only deli around that has hard sour rolls. The quality is 100%.

Such a good sandwich shop! The hours on yelp are different than the store front, so glad we took a chance and stopped by. I got a vegetarian sandwich with crunchy Dutch bread and cheese. You have to get the Giugni juice on your sandwich cause that's what makes it. They also had lots of chips and a few table options to sit down. I'm not in this area often but will def come back if I am! read more

Awesome sandwich shop within the cute grocery store on the Main Street that we stopped into for a quick lunch after a wine tasting. Absolutely love the service where you can choose your meat and cheese and they're sliced and cut right in front of you. Ended up getting a Mortadella and sharp cheddar on Dutch crunch and a Pastrami and smoked Gouda on a seeded bun - both with the works. 100 percent would stop again. read more

Great value sandwiches with lots of options. We appreciated the hundreds of mix and match options, and the online ordering process was very easy. There were a wide variety of meat options, from standard turkey and chicken cold cuts to salamis, prosciutto, honey glazed ham, etc The sandwiches have a lot of meat and cheese which is nice, and they tasted delicious. They have one vegetarian option and egg salad which makes it easy to stop here and find something for everyone even if they don't like cold cuts. We would come back for a quick and easy lunch stop. read more

I was there for a vegetarian sandwich. The person making the sandwich just made a meat sandwich before mine and her gloves were dripping with the meat juices from the prior sandwich. I asked her to change gloves and she got offended and gave me hateful look . People need to be considerate to other people choices. If you are offering vegetarian choices then they need to consider other small details like changed gloves when requested by a customer who are vegetarians I will not be returning to this place read more

Giugni's is definitely a stop to experience nostalgia rather than chasing after the same taste as before. This particular visit was disappointing because they were missing the rosemary bread that I've always loved in the past. Instead I ordered the dutch crunch but it was pretty mediocre, I almost wish I had just ordered the wheat or plain bread instead. It's definitely one of those stops where you'll regret if you don't stop by but also know it will be disappointing if it doesn't meet the expectations you've built up from the past. read more

The sandwich was DELICIOUS. It's like Subway where you build your sandwich, but Jersey Mikes' Mike's way but with oil, vinegar, salt and pepper, and also sprouts. They even let you choose two types of meat as your meat option. I got half turkey half roast beef on a soft sourdough. Workers were very nice and the shop was a cool retro deli shop! Definitely want to come back when I'm in Napa Valley again. read more

All I can say is Wow. Cajun Turkey with Avocado and Italian with the works on onion bread, Guigi sauce is a MUST, with one on the side. Thats the way to go. We came across this place when we were strolling downtown, St Helena, and we highly recommend it. A step up, compared to the other wonderful sandwich places in the area. Give it a try..... read more

Best deli on the planet. Been going there since I was a kid. Giugni juice is legendary!

Saw this place on Eater's best food of Napa Valley, and since my wife and I both love Italian delis, we made sure to stop by. We ordered ahead, which didn't seem that necessary because the line was short, but the option is nice to have. I had the Italian Combo (of course) with Giugni juice and pepperoncini. It was really good, packed with meat and cheese, but I think I should have left off the pepperoncini, because the juice itself has some vinegar in it and it ended a little sour. My wife had the avocado cucumber and she had a similar criticism. However, the whole place was great, and I highly recommend visiting if you're in the area! read more

*a review during the COVID-19 pandemic* Finally back years later after going wine tasting for the first time since pre-pandemic. The sandwiches are still delicious and I'm still thinking of the Giugni juice the next day. Right now they pick-up only and you place your order via online or telephone. They are accepting credit cards unlike before when they were cash only. My family placed our order around 9 for a 12:30 pick up and they were ready when we got there. I still recommend this place if you're in the area and it's a great meal between wine tastings! read more

They don't need more good reviews, everyone knows this is THE PLACE. But they deserve more so here we go! Quality sandos for years, fresh ingredients, amazing cheese selection (the high quality cheese on your sando makes allll the difference). Staff is always super friendly and take home some of their Giugni sauce/dressing/marinade. Seriously we use this on everything. There's a reason this place has been here for years. Go, wait in the line if there is one, get a sando, you will never regret it. read more

We had initially planned to go to another sandwich spot and after that didn't work out, lucked into this one. Their sandwiches are outstanding, starting with the bread. The bread is divine. Just the right amount chewy and soft with a great bread-to-filling ratio. Their dutch crutch was incredible. Service was good. Interior is plain but you come here for the sandwiches. Sprouts are always a plus in my book! read more

These had to be the best sandwiches in all of Napa valley. Just don't expect to sit and eat there on the regular. The back seating area really needs an update. read more

I like thinking about the history of this place, and the space has a busy, funky vibe. The sandwiches are good. The Guigni juice is great - it's a must for all sandwiches ordered here. I really enjoyed the tuna salad with the hard sourdough roll. Only a couple tables to sit inside, so maybe better for a picnic? read more

Came here for a quick lunch pick up in between wine tastings and loved it! We ordered 8 sandwiches to go so they had lots of opportunities to mess up an order...nope! They got every order perfectly!! I would highly recommend this place for sandwiches if you are in the area. My favorite is the cajun turkey but I have also heard good things about a bunch of other things on the menu so I don't think you can go wrong. Make sure to get that giugni sauce on your sandwich too..it is killer! Garlic, herbs, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and a whole lot of love goes into that sauce. I could drink it! read more

Went to Giugni's for the first time on a vacation to Napa with my brother and his girlfriend. They had been raving about it since the last time they had gone to Napa together. After reviewing all the possible cheese and meat combinations, I decided to ask the woman behind the counter what she'd go with, and she recommended the pastrami, which is one of my favorite deli meats. I ended up getting the pastrami with a smoked Swiss on the dutch crunch with everything on it. Wow, what a sandwich. I might just come back to Napa for Giugni's lol. My brother got the Italian and his girlfriend got a spicy salami, I think. All of them were so good though, I can't see how you could go wrong with any of the options! I highly recommend Giugni's to anyone in the Napa area! read more

We arrived pretty early before they closed as I understand people want to go home on time but the service was terrible. We weren't greeted as we walked in and since this was our first time here we weren't sure how it worked. We were given "directions" to how it worked but they mumbled and never gave eye contact. They also don't toast sandwiches here which I was surprised by. I also had to ask if they could microwave my deli meat as i'm pregnant and unable to have it without being cooked and they seemed so put out by this. The inside was really pretty and the sandwich was an overall 8/10 but the service makes it go down to a 4/10. read more

My sandwich was soggy, and missing my add-on avocado ($2). My $8 sandwich from whole foods in SF was better than this $14 sandwich. If you decide to eat here, walk your sandwich to the nearby park with picnic tables just a few minutes away by walking. This place definitely suffers from tourist inflation. I don't see how this place could be even close to 5 stars. We ordered an hour ahead and our sandwich was ready at the requested time. Upon opening it up, it was clear they made it well before my requested time and sitting for over 45 mins. The bread was soggy, flattened and there wasn't any residual heat from the toasting. The quantity of meat was acceptable for a $12 base price sandwich. The flavor was good, but the cold, soggy bread ruined my experience. To top it all off, they forgot to add avocado in one of our two sandwiches. read more

I had the smoked turkey with smoked grounds cheese on a Dutch crunch bread. The sandwich was great. No bathrooms and the ambiance is rustic.

Great food. Great service. Cute deli right in the middle of the downtown strip. The only negative to this place is that there are too many choices to make a sandwich from. They might be better served with more premade sandwich creations to choose from to help the out of towners speed up their ordering process. I'm just glad we made it into this spot as opposed to some of the other places we had been considering. Next time we're in Napa, we will definitely return for another sandwich or two. read more

Can't complain about a local, family-run deli. As you can see in this picture, sando sizes are not small. They don't skimp on anything, and they'll make your sando to order. They have a host of chips and drinks to go with that sandwich. Love the customer service here and the no-frills focus on sandwiches. Will be back when I'm in town again! read more
