2 cannoli rolls and ciabatta bread turkey sandwich was delicious ( would recommend earlier the better before lunch time , limited parking)
Really great sandwiches. Really great place. They have fresh bread,deli meats, different Italian pasta ready to be cooked. They have a great assortment of stuff. I love the Sandwich of the day specials it's something new each time. It gets super packed at times though. It's worth the wait. I love that they kept everything original,it's a beautiful place.
There is a reason this place has been open for 107 years as of 2025. It's excellent. First, you can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches. These are the kind of people who value and love the food they make. Second, the bakery items are perfectly done. They are where the bar is set. Be warned that it will cause you to compare all other bread to this bread. Last but not least, the pastas and other items in the store are there for people who want to make the dish right. This is the kind of place that is sacred among Italian families. This is not a "we should try that place." kind of establishment. This is a " I'm gonna fix all your sandwich problems for the rest of your life" kind of establishment.
The quality of the food is always top notch. I’d be shocked if someone could find a better deli in Stockton, or the surrounding area. But the owner of Genova is what makes it special. Every time I come in, he treats me with warmth, shares a story about a family friend that I remind him of, and makes me feel accepted. The food is amazing, but the hospitality and the humanity of the whole establishment is something I’ve never really experienced — especially not so authentically. Every work break I get, I make sure to stop by. Every time I find myself looking forward to my next visit. Also, the cookies are great too.
I've been coming here since I was a child back in the 70's. Their bread is Legendary and a Stockton must visit along with their big variety of Deli choices. Fresh baked bread and fantastic sandwiches!
