When I order a HOT meatball sandwich, I want that meatball sandwich to be HOT, not barely tepid. One of your staff tried to pass off a very cold meatball sandwich as hot. When I took the order back to have him actually make this sandwich hot, he tried to give me a load of excuses. Then He proceeded with the old go through the motions routine pretending to heat it up and when we found it was still cold. I dont know if it was because your food heaters arent working or if maybe your staffer decided that even though My husband and I pay the same price as everyone else, were not worthy of anything better than a barely tepid meatball sandwich. My husband is generous enough to heap lots of lavish praise to everyone when we come here for a meal. Are we wasting our generosity.
The deli is probably my favorite part of this market. Theres so much to choose from and everything seems top quality.The store has lots of essentials but also has some unique finds. I always end up finding something unexpected and leave with a few more items that I originally intended. The local wine selection is pretty large too. Definitely worth having a look at before you leave.Also on the way out, give the pastries and desserts a peep.. might be another item worth taking with ya!
We stayed at the Spyglass Inn for a few days and most mornings we walked over here for breakfast. Their pastry selection was good and their coffee was great. They had a nice produce selection too and great customer service.
Stopped here to get picnic snacks to take to Dinosaur Park. Such a cute little spot. Great selection of fresh tapenades, olives, cheese, wine - everything we needed. And such a cute little store! Highly recommend for a specialty food stop.
Lovely deli and wine selection met all our needs while traveling!
Could be 4 stars if the evening deli staff was more motivated to help customers and less concerned with sweeping the floors. Could be 5 stars if the evening deli staff washed their hands and put fresh gloves on before grabbing a piece of chocolate cake from the case (with their hands) because they had just been sweeping and touching the broom. Cashier was very courteous this evening.
Awesome place for grabbing something on the run..great deli...but bring your wallet!!! Lolol
Excellent Italian deli..plus!! little pricey, but always worth it. Also gluten free..
Rediculously overpriced, but I should have expected that. Plenty of people waiting for sammiches, though!
Unfriendly, upscale takeout market. Conveniently situated to our hotel with exorbitantly high prices. Our simple turkey sandwich with lettuce & chutney dressing was $13. Coleslaw was overdressed. One checker for 8 waiting customers, some with lots of groceries. Find a Sprouts and go there for quality take out.
Quaint. Great place to stretch our legs.
Had so many amazing things. Home made deserts, a deli, a great refrigerator section too.
Love, love the deli. I could spend hours shopping the unique gifts, delicacies, and wines.
This might be my favorite deli ever. The food here is always fresh and well seasoned. They make fresh mozzarella here and I buy some every time I go to Pismo Beach. You will love this place .
What a neat store! Looking for locally produced items such as wines, sauces, beers and other products? This is the go-to store! The store is packed with items of every variety. Meals to go, desserts, sandwiches and drinks can be had at a reasonable price.
Super market!Nice place for anything from a quick milk run to a gourmet beef dip sandwich with au jus. Its more than a convenience store, its specialty stuff. They have EVERY FLAVOR OF BEN & JERRYS!!! You cant find that anywhere anymore!!! Their sandwiches are fresh and awesome! They also have large to go salads and pastas. Great find in an easy to get to location!
Good quality and great deli.A little high priced but you get what you pay for maybe.
Always high quality staff and merchandise. Still miss Linette. What an amazing woman. She put this deli on the map.
Just all around good food
This is such a lovely shoppe in every sense of that word. Their curated selection of goodies makes this a fun place to pick up picnic foods, items for a nice night in, and a great place to take visitors for a special meal. They do have some of the basic items, too, so if you need Tylenol or something like it you can grab that, too. Theyve got a bakery section, deli, salads, produce, and more.Highly recommend for families, couples, and more.
Depalo & Sons has an extensive high end local and European wine selection, beers, and non alcoholic drinks. The deli has a vast assortment of exceptionally tasty items for your wine country picnic.
Depalo and Sons has an assortment as great deli food. Traveling north or south its a must go place to visit
This place was amazing! We dined at the 3 hotel restaurants but they were not as good as this place.From so cal and this was a nice place
Amazing food, dessert and small bites service was amazing food quality is great everything there is gourmet.
Oh yum, this place is great! Terrific made to order sandwiches, lots of packaged Italian pastas, and refrigerated premade meals.
If you havent been in here, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???The deli in the back is excellent, the bakery is scrumptious, and the store itself is quite country.Been visiting for years and will keep coming back for many more.
Theyre food is fantastic.From handmade sandwiches to desserts.Great wine selection too.
Had an awful experience with one of the shoppers today. She went stark raving mad regarding the distance near the register. She was out of control, cussing continuously insulting me and finally she left causing such disruption to all others. I felt incredibly sorry for the staff and the manager. I was not going to let this awful unhappy individual carry on with her inappropriate behavior... I eventually asked the lady to leave. People if you feel so angry about the COVID-19 period, please please please, stay at home. You are making our lives unbearable!
Great place. Picked up some food from the deli and drinks from the store.
Best meatballs and cheese cake.
I didnt find what I was looking for but its a nice market.
Wow! Wasn’t expecting this place! Can’t say enough! Deli lasagna w/ricotta cheese is amazing! Fresh fruit - gourmet cookies and an impressive variety of wines! It’s a must stop!
Very nice store with a nice selection of ready-to-eat and a service deli with a wide selection of food to satisfy any hunger, IMO.
Love this store. I consider it a gourmet deli with fresh made food to take out. They have every yummy looking entree, side dish or dessert that your heart desires. And, a great selection of beer, wine and liquor. Stop by if you havent been there.
Just walked in for some coffee and was surprised at all the cute things in there, besides 4 different blends of coffee there was a full deli and the best looking cakes and pies would definitely go back to buy some packaged pasta...looked really good !!
They have the best rotisserie chicken Ive ever had. Its stuffed a bunch of rosemary, garlic and half a lemon. So good.
Their Pancetta BLT is incredible. Overall a really nice little shop.
DO NOT BUY A SALAD HEREThey dress their salads and then let them sit and m a r i n a t e. Needless to say, brown, wilty, soggy lettuce is not appetizing.Also, of the 3 small chunks of chicken in said caesar salad, 1 had a bone in it.Sammich was good though.
Mozzarella is amazing, and every deli item Ive ordered has turned out great!
Great food.
What a nice unique specialty deli and bakery. The service is friendly and they have good coffee😊
Such a great place. Deli sandwiches are great!
My absolute favorite place to stop at while in Pismo. Great Bakery. Like, phenomenal bakery with yummy cookies, etc.I’ve gotten a pre-made meal from the deli and it was solid too. Friendly service.
Great little Italian shop and deli. Hard to resist the baked goodies 😋.
Love this place. The deli rocks in every way. Been going here for years. Still the same awesome food. Drinks, chips, delicious desserts, wine and more. This place is more then 5 stars
Great food and alcohol. unfortunately, treat their workers very poorly including no days off on holidays and an extremely pretentious dress code. Employees are friendly and helpful but are being verbally reprimanded for something every time i walk in.Was asked to leave by the deli manager for apparently no reason as well(who asks a customer to leave?). Overall pretty disappointed as I generally really enjoy the food. Just calling it how it is.
The homemade soups are to die for at DePalo and Sons deli. Today I got the Minestrone. It is full of delicious chunky vegetables and sausage. The broth is also so good!They also had tomato lentil today for something different.The variety of deli meats and salads are also very good. There is also take out food freshly made, a bakery and an Italian market. So if you are hungry for some tasty food, and you are in or close, stop, and it will be worth your while.
Excellent, but quite pricey. It is a super compact gourmet shop bursting with all kinds of both homemade & other stuff. The Deli is high end & so is the wine area. It is ideal for locals or tourists to find anything from a dozen eggs to uber priced fine Champagne. The Deli does make gourmet sandwiches. They also have a handmade Mozzarella that is amazing. There roast chicken is good. It is kind of like a mini-Whole Paycheck Market...but is a Mom & Pop shop. Amazingly, it originated in my hometown in Brooklyn NY!
Loved this place! walking distance to the dolphin resort and cliff hotel. Has everything you could need to better your vacation.Great wine selection as well as a small selection of cigars.attached is a little market with fresh produce as well as a meat dept. Must try the chicken!!!
Amazing deli sandwiches!
I stop here all the time before/after the Avila Ridge hike. Small hot and cold food deli with salads and proteins. Fresh made baked goods, and desserts. Large wine and alcohol selection. High prices but the BALSAMIC GLAZED Pork Pops are worth it!
Nice upscale family run market with all things Italian, BUT very expensive. I dont live here so I dont have the connection to it like the local people do. I was going to buy lasagne for my dinner but its $15 a lb. A nice size chunk would have been $14. I bought a scone & a couple of cookies instead. LOL !
This store is amazing! A little high end but the selection from around the world is awesome. I dont drink but looks like a great wine and cigar selection. The Deli is very well done.
This place is such a wonderful hidden gem! Ive never had a bad pastry, dessert, cheese, or bread from here. Their deli counter produces only deliciousness, and their roasted garlic is to die for!
🙋🏼♂️💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯Try the cake and pastries 🥮In the way back there’s a guy that will cut you a slice of heaven 🤭
I love the way they let you design your own sandwich.
Wonderful Italian Deli. Fresh mozzarella ebery morning.
This reminds me of Nugget markets in northern California but on a smaller scale. Wish I had one near me in Elk Grove.
Love this place! Such good food. My favorite is the pancetta BLT!
Great wine selection and specialty mustards, sauces, pastas, honey, craft brews & countless other things. Fun & unique kitchen gadgets/accessories. Must try the root beer float milk in an old fashioned milk jug! Sounds like it may be disgusting but it was beyond delicious!! Great whimsical find!!
Great deli with good self serve coffee, mocha, hot chocolate or tea. Nice selection of pastries and sandwiches to order. Out door seating, very nice
The lasagna was excellent! Your place reminded my wife and I of our home town Italian Deli back in the day. Enjoyed every minute of it, thank you.
Great fresh made deli sandwiches, and an amazing dessert selection. Also the staff is always friendly and attentive.
It was a delightful be here..the best cheese i ever try..well done and their shop amaizing!! Love it!!
Saddest chicken salad sandwich. It was dry! Stale bread, very little salad lots of sprouts, I didnt even realize it had avocado and feta because it was such a tiny amount. For the price I want to taste what I pay for. Never again
Loved looking at the selection of great food. We got a snowball desert...it was dry and same with the pork pop..dry
My heart sleeps here lol
Love this little store. A bit pricey but they have great pre-made and to order sandwiches. Lots to choose from in their deli as well as a large selection of beer and wine.
Yummy food, lots of varieties.
Having Eaten here so many times over the years, I must say this place holds up to the test of time. The Sandwiches are custom to order and fabulous. Huge ( split on for two is usually enough ) and fresh and delicious. The salads are so fresh and there is such a selection that I always find something wonderful. The gift shop part seems to be a bit of a high end reach for a deli liquor store, but it looks like great quality to me. Grab a sandwich, some salad, and a drink and find one of the beautiful ocean side parks - I can think of three within 2 miles - That is always a treat!
Delicious as always.
The best place ive been into in a long time! Such great items and so much cooked food ready to be bought. Also, so many original products I can only find here
Random stumbled into this place looking for water and was amazed by the beer and liquor selection - grabbed a surprise 6 pack I wasnt even expecting! Attached to an artisan cheese and bread shop as well - An amazing find Ive marked on the map whenever we come through!
Great deli! Take home or buy sandwiches. The home made moncarella is the worlds best. Not found better in Italy. The wine and liquor is pricey but has good variete. Dried pastas are excellent.
Always great customer service, delicious fresh foods, exceptional wine selections and surprisingly fair pricing! Our relatives consider shopping at Depaolos a highlight of their visits to Shell Beach . Also wonderful when youre hungry and want something special... Thanks!
Love this deli. The fresh made food is delicious! Lots of gourmet items and ay reasonable prices too. I always stop here when Im in the area. Fresh produce. Liquor, wine. Sandwiches. Service is friendly too.
Delicious prepared foods in their deli. Its pricey, but thats not surprising given its location. Great customer service.
Yes its a little pricey but, Everything here is worth every penny! And the service is outstanding.
Fresh baked blueberry muffin are delicious
Great wine selection and outstanding deli
Great sandwiches and gourmet food, wine, beer, liquor in a small corner market.
Great ready made food for those nights you are too tired to cook. My fave is eggplant parm. They make fresh mozzarella that is amazing.
Out standing sandwiches. Great selection of foods.
Awesome bodega. You will love anything you buy here. I drop in often just for an oatmeal cookie.
They have a good wine selection including Italian varieties that may be hard to find at other shops. The brownie is worth the trip!
Great selection of wines and fabulous deli. Picked up a great find - Fig Glaze. Yummy find.
Nice upper scale wine, deli, fresh fruit and baked goodies. Love the owner. Always one of the prizes on any civic fundraiser. They give back!
Delicious food and treats. Great wine selection.
I always spend more than I intend to here, but the food is great, the deli case is stocked with some unique selections.
This is *THE* place to stop for sandwiches and/or dessert. (usually and) Everything inside the deli is good. Say hi to Lynette!
This place is a fantastic treasure with offerings that range from delicious hand crafted hot and cold food to a very unique grocery store featuring foods and wine from many small and local crafters. Their in-house baked goods are also to die for.
Great local place for me to buy scratch-offs, they even take debit card for them too! How bout that.Dont forget their amazing tri-tip sandwich with sea salt chips at the deli!
Best stop midway between LA and SF for lunch. The yummiest sandwiches made to order. Fill out a form with their options, wait a few and they will call your name. Delish!!Lots of yummy tapenades and spreads, snacks, sweets, lovely cooking and serving dishes, and Italian imported food perfect for hostess gifts, etc. Mortadella imported, 6 or 7 other kinds of meat, 8 or 9 cheese options, 10 kinds of bread...I have purchased their yearly calendar tea towel for the last few years. They are great for big napkins when I make up the table, but big enough that three could make a great centerpiece also.
So many great food items, you cant find anywhere else, at least not all in one place.
Terrific source of ready made foods for lunch, dinner or appetizers. Great lunch fare, wine selection & all things Italian, served up by friendly, helpful folks.
