About Canevari’s Delicatessen & Catering

Canevari's Delicatessen & Catering is a popular spot for delicious sandwiches and Italian specialties. They cater to dietary restrictions, offering gluten-free bread, which is a rare find in Santa Rosa. Their Italian sub, made with unique, expertly cured and seasoned meat, is a favorite, often paired with a side of cannoli that guests find impressive. The bread is fresh, and the sandwiches, like the chicken panini, are made with care, with good ratios of protein, veggies, and condiments. Customers say it is a clean and welcoming place, perfect for a quick meal during wine tasting or a visit to local attractions. It is a family-owned and operated Italian deli known for homemade pastas and sauces, with popular items like lasagna. The customer service is excellent, and they even carry some products from Enzo's table in Clovis. Recently, the restaurant also catered a kids' birthday party, and the food was called the star of the event. Guests loved the food, and the process was easy and smooth, even with short notice and outside their usual schedule. Dietary restrictions were well accommodated, and the catering service was praised for being seamless and customer service oriented.

A customer also experienced the owner’s attentive care when their meat ravioli was undercooked. The owner personally checked the dish, offered to replace it, and even provided a taste test. Although the ravioli was not perfect, the owner offered to make anything else, and the customer chose spaghetti with a meatball, which was tasty. The owner did not charge for the replacement and added a dessert at no cost, showing genuine care for customer satisfaction. Despite a less-than-ideal first dish, the customer appreciated the professionalism and kindness, and plans to return.

Another visitor tried Canevari's on a trip to the Snoopy Museum. They enjoyed the Cubano Italiano, which was spicy but delicious, and would definitely order it again. Their spouse had the Chicken Panini, which was a hit, especially with the look of delight when taking the first bite. The house-made chips were also a favorite. The visitor wished they had more time to try more items from the menu. If they lived nearby, this would be a regular stop for sandwiches and takeaway foods from the cooler.
