Returned 11 yrs later......... An Overpriced sloppy sandwhich lacking in the taste it had yrs ago. The help ignores customers or just moves them along without the friendliness of yesteryear. As saying goes, you cant go back home. read more

I've loved going to Guini in St. Helena since I was in college, and even though I'm not in town often anymore, I still make it a point to stop by when I can. It's the only place I know that has white sharp cheddar cheese, which I love on sandwiches, and I always get their Guini juice on the side. That said, I was a bit taken aback by the pricing on my most recent visit. I completely understand that prices go up, but my veggie sandwich was listed at $13.75 and I was charged $17.75. It turns out certain breads are an upcharge, but that wasn't communicated--I only realized after I had already paid. I also asked for pepperoncini and was charged $3, even though it's supposed to be $1.75. On top of that, it looks like I was charged for cucumbers, even though they're listed as part of the vegetarian sandwich, which feels a bit misleading. I've never had this issue before, so next time I'll definitely double-check pricing or order online since that's always been accurate for me. I still enjoy the food, just wish pricing and add-ons were more clearly communicated. read more

When in St.Helena, or the Napa area, and looking for an amazing sandwich, I can't say enough good things about this place. It feels like it's been ages since I've been to a deli where you select the meat and they slice it right there in front of you. They have an incredible meat selection, including what I went with, mortadella. After you select your meat and the person is working on slicing on it, you go to the next person who builds your sandwich with what you would like on it. I went with a mortadella sandwich on a sourdough roll with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, sprouts, mayo, and of course, the Giugnisauce. As you can see from the photos, it was very generously portioned and absolutely delicious! We will absolutely be back when we're in the area next time to try more of the menu! read more

Please add this to your list!! Best sandwiches ever. Get the #2 with salad, everything on it on Dutch crutch bread and pepper jack cheese. There's seating in the front and the back room. read more

I've been going to Giugni's since I was a teen, it was the after-school spot and it still hits every single time. They never skimp on the meat, cheese, or toppings, and the bread + deli selection means you can create so many different sandos. Right in the center of Main Street, perfect for a picnic or a quick bite anytime. The space is always clean, and I love the variety of snacks and drinks they carry. And of course... the iconic Giugni Juice. A true local fave that never disappoints. Still one of my go-to Napa Valley staples. read more

W J Giugni Grocery - Customized Sandwich. - Delis Near Me - St Helena, California

What an absolute joke. Just not a funny one. This place is so terribly run. Tried to pace an order online for a single sandwich. Wanted double meat. No way to note that on their online order systems. So I called. Spoke with two employees. Neither of whom spoke English well enough to get my order nor my phone number correct. This was not my first time. Never have I been able to get an order correctly fulfilled at this place. This was my last attempt. I can't waste my time nor energy on such a low level establishment going forward. Honestly Safeway is a better option for half the price. This place survives only because there is no competition in town. read more

VEGE sandwich on sliced wheat $17 !!!!! I used to love these sandwiches. Now I can truly buy all the ingredients and make several!!! $17 is way to much for a sandwich! Especially no meat! They are not longer local serving, just tourists who don't know they can go to Sunshine or Safeway one block either direction read more

It has been years since I have been here and I am happy to say that not much has changed. I had the privilege of being able to bring my wife with me to show her a piece of my scholastic history that happened to include this wonderful place. I cannot remember the last time I was here but I was happy to walk through those doors again after so many years away to be hit with the sights, sounds and smells of this place. Walking in feels like walking into your Grandma's kitchen and she has people over, eating her famous sandwiches. The line was long (it was a weekend) but no one complained because everyone who comes here remembers the hype, and everyone that visits wants to know what the hype is. The service is still the same - quick, clear, and friendly. My wife got the vegetarian sandwich with the works and I got an egg salad sandwich with the works - this has always been my order! The ingredients are fresh, the sweet bread is soft, and the egg salad is still cold and flavorful. Having that sandwich just took me back to 90's and early 2000's when I would come down from Angwin to have this sandwich. The sandwich is nostalgic, but also delicious. I recommend you eat your sandwich fresh because it tastes so much better. We grabbed a few bags of chips, some bottled soda and that Guigni Juice is still *chef's kiss*. My wife loved it, I loved it, and we even got to snap a few photos of the place because who knows when the next time will be when I can come back. I am so happy that I was able to leave the Napa Valley having this as my "see you later" meal. read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

*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

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

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

While visiting Napa Valley, my partner and I were looking for a quick spot to get some lunch in between our tastings. After doing some research on yelp we decided to try this little shop on the main road. We both wanted to try their sandwiches which were solid overall and I do recommend getting the dutch crunch bread. Protips: order online before heading in! This saved me a lot of time as there was a long line in the store. To my understanding, there is no designated parking there so I had to find street parking near the store. Overall very solid sandwich place. 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

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 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

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

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

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

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.
