I ordered a meatball sandwich with mozzarella, but was told they were out of mozzarella--which was surprising for an Italian delicatessen. Shortly after that visit, the location closed. I share this feedback respectfully and with the hope that any operational challenges are addressed, as consistency and quality have always been what set Genova apart. Maintaining those standards is important not only for this location, but for the continued success and reputation of your other location as well.

It was one big meal or two smaller meals. Caution taking it to go and saving for later since the sauce/dressing inside can make it soggy and more difficult and messy to eat.

There were tons of DoorDash orders already prepared, with dashers constantly walking in and out, yet the young woman at the register immediately paused what she was doing to help me. She took my order quickly and kindly, and I had only been sitting down for about six minutes before she personally brought my to-go sandwich right to me. That level of attentiveness and efficiency is rare. I've never received service this good in Walnut Creek. These ladies are clearly very hardworking, and their manager should be extremely proud of the team they have. I will definitely be giving this location my business and will absolutely be coming back!

Parma is on the edge of Concord almost in Clayton but worth the drive. I ordered a Poorboy sandwich on a sweet roll. After Maggoria closed down it has been hard to get a good sandwich roll.

If you were a Genova fan, you will love the sandwiches at Parma. Drive a little further and treat your self to a generous sized tasty sandwich or pasta.

It looks a bit forgotten because it's in an older shopping center that doesn't have much foot traffic which always draws me even more to support a local business. It was easy to order my turkey sandwich with provolone and all the way (lettuce, pickles, red onion, tomato, mayo and mustard) on a Dutch crunch roll. I was pretty hungry so I turned on the AC and took a couple bites. Ah, just the way I love a sandwich! Meaty, a bit heavy on the mayo and a good roll to hold it all in. I saved half for the hubby and he liked the sandwich as well. I will definitely come here again to try a different sandwich. Plenty of parking, easy access. Please support your local business

Genova is simply the best Italian Deli on the east side of the Caldecott Tunnel, hands down…read more Their imported prosciutto sandwich (with provolone, of course) is my main go-to. Both this location and the other Walnut Creek on S. California Blvd are fantastic. The Treat Blvd location has some indoor seating, which is nice. The S. California Blvd location only has outdoor seating. The service is always good. They are not fast, and often have a long line, so just be aware of that. I love the ambiance; it gives me an old-school Italian American vibe. It's more of a to-go place, but you can eat there as well. In addition to their amazing sandwiches, they also offer a great deli selection of salads, cold cuts, sausages, cheeses, etc. They also sell a well-curated selection of shelf items, such as pasta, cannoli shells, cookies, Sicilian torrone, canned tomatoes, olive oil, etc. If you are looking for an Italian deli in the east bay, this is the spot.

Fortunately, the food inside lives up to the '80's music. This place is a little Eastern-European treasure chest. The meat selection alone is worth the trip: excellent veal sausages, proper kabanosy (both American-made and the legit European imports), and enough smoked and cured options to make you reconsider every bland sandwich you've ever eaten. Then there's the sweets. Not just a few shelves: an impressively deep lineup of Eastern European treats, both loose and packaged. The kind where you walk in thinking you'll grab one thing and leave with three mysterious chocolates and something wrapped in gold foil. It's also my most reliable solution for a sudden Żywiec beer craving. And if that's not the mood, there's always a jar of pickled mushrooms waiting patiently. In short: a small, charming deli that punches way above its size... and yes, I still sing the Kate Bush song every single time I go.

This time, though, I wanted to try something different, so I went with the chicken and mushroom filling. It was also very tasty. One thing I really like is that they focus more on the filling, and the bread is not too thick. It always has that slightly greasy goodness in the best way. So yummy. As much as I enjoyed the food, my interaction with the woman working there this time was not great. When I arrived, she was unpacking a box. She saw me but did not greet me or ask if I was ready to order. I stood there awkwardly for a few minutes before she finally asked. It would have been nice to be acknowledged right away. I ordered two different fillings, and when she was packing them, I asked if she could please label them so I would know which one was which. She responded by saying, "I wasn't going to make you guess." I did not find that very friendly. In fact, I thought it was borderline rude. I still really enjoyed the food, but that interaction took away from the overall experience a little bit. I wish the customer service had been a bit warmer.
