Must try place!!!…read more Delicious food! The service was nice. They offered suggestions since it was our first time. We stopped by after seeing a play at the stockton theater where a friend told us about this place. We decided to try it and it did not disappoint. Everything is made fresh to order. We ordered a You Fancy sandwich and a Ranch Baddie sandwich. One of the best Italian sandwich I've had. We will definitely be back soon to try another dish.

I was excited to try Nicky's Italian after seeing it online, but unfortunately my experience was…read morevery disappointing. We waited over 20 minutes for two cold sandwiches despite the restaurant being nearly empty. When the food finally arrived, the sandwiches were cold, bland, and lacked flavor. Considering the prices, I expected much better quality and freshness. What concerns me even more is the way the owner responds to negative reviews. Instead of taking customer feedback as an opportunity to improve, many of the responses come across as defensive, dismissive, and disrespectful. Reading those interactions makes it seem like customer concerns are not taken seriously. I don't mind paying premium prices when the food and service justify it, but neither did in this case. Based on my experience, I won't be returning.

Genova remains a favorite for us. Whenever we're in Stockton we stop in to pick up sandwiches,…read morebread, and some pantry items. It's a very popular neighborhood spot, so expect lines especially during the meal times. If you have a large order it's best to call in ahead of time and pick up later. Our favorite thing is to pick up sandwiches here, and we all have our favorites. Mine is a combo on ciabatta with hot salami and hot coppa, havarti cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, Bruno peppers, mustard and oil and vinegar. They have amazing bread here and we often pick up loaves of bread, rolls, and buns. You can also order deli meat, pasta salads, and even desserts like cannoli or cheesecake. Plus they offer catering options like party trays and cookies that you can call ahead for. The store is small, but has a little bit of everything. They have biscotti that they make from their bread, they have local and imported sauces, olives, and other items. Honestly, once you experience the charm and quality of this 100+ year old bakery you'll fall in love. Just be patient with the hardworking team here, each day is a BUSY one for them.

"Genova Bakery" has been a staple bakery/delicatessen for residents in the Stockton and greater San…read moreJoaquin County area dating way back to 1918. Located directly at the corner of N. Sierra Nevada and E. Flora St. in the heart of downtown Stockton, this place is absolutely nostalgic from the outside with its classic signage, green entrance door, and a true Italian feeling as soon as you arrive. I absolutely love when small family owned-and-operated businesses retain that look as it keeps the tradition and heritage alive and well. I came here with my lady during the afternoon on Saturday 8/22/2026 at around 2:00pm. Parking was surprisingly easy to find as the surrounding area has an abundance of mid-century homes. Upon entry, you are greeted with the aroma of freshly baked bread, well-stocked aisles of cookies, jams/jellies, homemade pastas, olive oils, sauces, spices, wines, and even their own merchandise that includes t-shirts, mugs, and other unique items. Much of the Italian groceries are similar to what you'd find in a bigger city like San Francisco. The real winner here are the sandwiches. During their regular business hours which are 6:30am-4pm during the week and 6:30am-2:30 on Saturday, they have multiple employees rolling out a wide variety of their award-winning sandwiches. They carry some of the best Italian cold cuts including Hot Coppa, Mortadella, Prosciutto, and Pancetta. And when you pair that up with some amazing cheeses on their own warm Genova bread, that is an ultimate combination. Since we had come a little bit later in the day, much of the homemade breads were sold out. However, we did purchase a loaf of their milk bread which we used for sandwiches and even French toast for breakfast. Keep in mind that they are closed on Sunday. However, if you come for a sandwich, you might experience a little bit of a wait during their lunch rush. But the good news is that the prices here are very reasonable at only $10 for a fully loaded sandwich (which is less than many grocery store delis). All in all, this was a very pleasant surprise as I had never stepped foot into this small business until 2026. With excellent service, decent prices, but a smaller amount of baked goods than other bakeries, I am giving "Genova Bakery" an above average four-star rating.

It's a small, cozy shop with limited seating, but perfect for a quick grab-and-go. Definitely coming back to try more, but honestly... it'll be hard not to order the same thing again Highly recommend if you're craving something fresh, flavorful, and a little different from your typical sandwich! & the smoothies are also the best!

This place is a small place where you order at a window and wait for your order to go. There are no tables or seating for dining. We were immediatley great by a nice gentleman...i think the owner. Then a nice older lady greeted us for our order and answered any questions we had. The owner came out and let us try tri tip straight from the smoker you can smell. The sampler was so delious. We all order individual orders each to see if we liked our dish and would recommend to order next time. I got The Valley Clucker the chicken sandwich 6in with grilled onions, mushrooms and bell peppers with pepper jack cheese. You can pick your variety of 4 cheeses. The sandwich was Oh so fabulous. The 6in was plenty, as a 1 foot long you definitley would take home for left overs. My co worker got the Fork It Fries. They were plenty massive enough for a meal. I'd say this is kind of a hole in the wall place, but service is great and food is great too! It is situated in a neighborhood and can easily me mistakenly passed up. I would HIGHLY recommend this place. You will enjoy and like anything you get here. I will be coming to order here frequently now i know its just down the street from work.

Another "triple D" spot marked off my list…read more A great deli. The people are friendly, lots of Italian groceries, sandwiches, other items for sale, meats, cheeses, this is a full on Italian deli. Their specialty, though, is the ravioli. Tiny little pillows of goodness, the main three ingredients are beef, cheese, and a spinach/Swiss chard mix.. , They make a lot of of them, and they are actually made on a ravioli machine that is roughly 100 years old. Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I bought a pound and a half bag of ravioli to go. I had mentioned that I was in town from Sacramento. Without me, even asking, he put together a bag of ice for me to sit on top of the bag of ravioli,, so I could get them home. That was very nice of him. I also bought a bottle of imported Cacio E Pepe sauce. The price for everything was very reasonable. The place is cash only, but they do have ATM in the store if needed... The ravioli were so good, Rich, and creamy, and the spinach/Swiss chard mixture was perfect. The sauce was very good, I could taste the pepper, but it didn't overwhelm the rest of the sauce. The next time I'm in town, I'm gonna come in and have a plate of the ravioli with their marinara sauce for lunch. I will definitely be back. Thank you for a great visit
