I have been a faithful customer for over 20 years; love everything I order. Just purchased their Easter breads which are so hard to find, they were fresh and delicious.

Family owned, delicious food, everyone is so cheerful and helpfulLuv coming here, yum ?
This place is so tiny. But, it really packs a punch. With a deli counter, baked goods, a selection of imported goods, sandwiches, and even some ready made frozen meals. They cram a lot into a small space. But, it's all very authentic. My mom loves the cold cut sandwiches here, so I've been eating them for years. I've also had the turkey sandwich. The turkey was sliced thinly, and the bread is always wonderful. Their sandwiches are always fantastic. And, the frozen baked Ziti is a delicious and convenient way to enjoy a restaurant quality Italian meal at home.
It's Tuesday February 20th I believe. So I was about to make meatballs . Grant you I came here for Italian Honey Christmas balls .. I purchased more Thank God . I couldn't eat all the fresh rolls. Tonight I pulled my last roll after 2 months out of my freezer and let it come to room temperature before I put it in the oven like Grandma did.The only problem we NOW have sealed burners like we use to have b4.ALL I WILL NOW IS THIS 40 YEARS IN THE KITCHEN IVE NEVER EVER FOUND A ROLL LIKE THIS . 2 MONTHS IN FREEZER TASTE Freash .NEVER EVER . THE COOKIES ARE EXCELLENT THE SERVICE A+ Reminds me of my childhood taking the Sunset bus to Western Ave walk 1 block to Fazzio Brothers deli .... Just the aroma you say today Smell .... Nothing compares...Close your eyes when you enter YOUR HOME NOW .....❤️THIS PLACE

I can't believe I never stepped into this bakery sooner. I had no idea it was even in the Balboa plaza. I absolutely love it! Their breads are so delicious! I bought a few things yesterday because I just had to try their stuff. The sausage and peppers sandwich was delish.That soft bread was a game changer! Soooo good! And I also got two tiramisu trays. Amazing amazing amazing! I will definetly be back again. And told all my friends & family about it! Love finding these hidden gems! Go support your local businesses they have way better customer service and products. Highly recommend getting your breads etc here.

It's a nice Italian deli that's been around for years. Make best sub sandwiches. Good selection of Italian food products. I buy a lot of Pasta there and other products. They also have frozen store made dishes. Haven't had one I didn't like. Highly recommend the store.

Cute little Italian grocer which bakes its own bread and sells excellent sandwiches. Prices are pretty reasonable for the amount of food you get and their fresh baked Italian breads are quite delicious. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

My favorite Italian deli in the valley. I usually get a few cold cuts of meat, some cheese, and their soft rolls to make sandwiches at home, but they make great sandwiches in house as well. Love this place.

Happy I was able to stop by Italia Bakery after 10 or more years, to enjoy their delicacies... particularly their Italian mortadela and French baked breads.
