Opened in late 2014 this is one of my favorite delis in the valley, if not my favorite overall. It's very large on the inside, filled with many booths and tables plus they also have a large private dining room area, an outdoor eating covered patio, and then in another part of the restaurant there is a full bar and more tables but we were not able to enter that area but safe to say they can host many large sized groups or parties. There is also a large free parking lot attached so parking is really easy. As you would expect at any traditional deli, the menu is very large and service is very attentive. The staff was very friendly when we stopped in and everything that we ordered came out very fast after we ordered it. For this visit, I started off with one of their Caramel Lattes and thought it was delicious. Our waiter mentioned they were especially good there and I agree with him. For our breakfast, we chose a Build Your Own Omelette and the Chilaquiles. Both were fantastic. I chose to Build Your Own Omelette and opted for chorizo as my meat even though it's not listed on the menu as an option. I would highly recommend doing so as well. They also have a giant area of pastries and cookies, which I plan to visit next time I stop by. I would highly recommend to anyone and feel it is suitable for people of all ages. read more

The food is overpriced. $4 for an egg. It's very loud inside and hard to talk. Food quality is below average. The service is not good. Only one employee was friendly. 3% surcharge to pay with a credit card. Overall, it's not worth coming here. read more

We have been wanting to go to Lovi's for quite some time. For whatever reason, today was the day we finally made it. Ahead of visiting the restaurant today, I checked Lovi's website. I wanted to make a reservation but was not able to, and when I tried phoning the restaurant, no one answered the call and the recording stated that voicemail was not set up. I did send a message through their website and Sonia was super helpful getting back to me directly via email and she set up the reservation. When we arrived, there was a table reserved for us. Everyone that we encountered at the restaurant offered great customer service. I thought the service was a 5+. Attentive and kind service, which I love. The food itself was only just okay. In comparison to other local delis, I would rank it a 4. We visited the restaurant at lunchtime and it was packed and very loud. When I was on the Lovi's official website (www.lovisdeli.com), there was an offer to join their VIP program, which I did. It offers points for each dollar spent to redeem for discounts. Well...NO ONE in the restaurant was aware of the program, even a manager that has been there from the start, so I thought it was really odd! I have joined these programs at many restaurants and never had one not know about the program offered on their website. As such, no rewards earned! Until we paid with a credit card, we didn't realize there was an extra 3% fee that would be charged. Had we known, we'd have paid with cash. Being that the VIP program is advertised, but not known, and using a credit card incurs an extra fee, I have to lower my overall rating. read more

Was seated pretty immediately. Juan was the server and did not disappont. He was super friendly and the food came out in a timely manner. The 2 eggs any style breakfast, homestyle potatos. smoked bacon and English muffin was 100% on point. The food was fresh and delish! The fresh squeezed oj was also delicious. I can't wait to return. Thanks again Juan for OUTSTANDING customer service! I would give 10 stars but Yelp oly allows 5. read more

Came here with a big group and had a wonderful time sitting in Lovi's outdoor patio. The servers were friendly and attentive, checked up on us very often. Our table shared the hot wings and humus platter, both were very delicious and perfect for sharing. I ordered the Zoltan and it was LOADED with pastrami and sauerkraut. The taste was decent! Also got a chance to try their desserts. The napoleon was flaky and tasty. The chocolate cake was rich and decadent. But my favorite was the eclair! Huge parking lot and lots of seating inside. Be sure to make a reservation if you're coming with a large group. read more

Lovi's is an interesting place. Situated in the upper scale area of Los Angeles just past the posh towns focal point the commons it is an excellent Jewish Deli with the vast menu that serves its patrons well. From typical Jewish fare such as pastrami sky high sandwiched on rye and matzo ball soup dr brown cream soda there is also breakfast served all day and happy hour from 3:00 pm to close, and if you hanker for anything they will have it including craft drinks served in the sports room that handles the over flow of customers from The main dinning room which has booths rimming the walls of the main dinning room there is also a dinning room straight in the back for private parties. In middle of the room are ample tables to handle all their customers. If back in time you could remember how this space looked as the Red Robbin restaurant it is quite the comparison . Besides the varied food and posh surroundings the best thing going for them is the chefs and serving staff. The chefs prepare a variety of food in a forever panorama of consistency. It is the customer service of the servers that are the secret sauce of this establishment. They start off with a gentleman by the name of Umberto who never fails to accomplish total service in his stellar way. Always at your beck and call leaving no stone unturned with a perpetual smile on his face, with a delightful freindly nature . Last time we visited he wasn't there but he was covered by his friend Habib who echoed all the excellent attributes of Umberto. He was mentored by the best and handled himself with expertise and the saving grace of serving the public's a sense of humour.Serving isn't brain surgery but treating all patrons with respect and friendly persuasion is the impetus to bringing them back and back and back again . If Umberto and Habib aren't there we'll tough luck, no just kidding I think they are all trained to make the customer have a friendly warm experience that will bring them back again. That's all you can ask for except good food beautiful environments and ample parking front and back of the restaurant read more

Lovi's is a longstanding Jewish style deli that can seat a ton of people in its dining room, bar and patio areas, and still has a line on most weekends. People love it here, and why not? It's sleek and modern, sparklingly clean and very well maintained. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and regularly checks on your needs even when at its busiest. It's a very well-run restaurant. On this occasion I arrived around 11:20am for an early lunch. I was flying solo, so I offered to sit at the bar rather than take up a table. I had forgotten just how well-stocked of a bar this is, and though I wasn't drinking at this time of day I was impressed by the selection: over 100 bottles of whiskey, bourbon and Scotch, and around 50 bottles of tequila plus all the other usual things. This would be a great place to watch a game on one of their many TV's and enjoy a few tipples. By the way, they even have a TV in the men's room over the urinal, so you won't miss any action if nature calls before the commercial break! Bartender/server, Naomi, was friendly as can be and took very good care of me, grabbing my order immediately and bringing me everything I requested very quickly. Total pro, and very pleasant. Alas, the food was a tad disappointing. On most occasions I order breakfast items, but this time I opted for a Pastrami on rye with a side of Macaroni Salad. The Pastrami was dry, and not particularly flavorful. I get the sense it may have been the last of yesterday's batch, and if I ordered the same sandwich 90 minutes later it may have been juicier -- but that's just my guess. The macaroni salad had the flavor of a mass-produced, commercial side that salt and pepper didn't even really help very much. In the end, there are places with better pastrami in the vicinity, so I'll likely stick to breakfast fare in the future. However, their enormous chicken pot pie is legendary, so I may stop in soon to give that a try with a nip of whiskey for good measure. read more

Amazing restaurant located in the heart of Calabasas. The food was amazing. We had gotten the tuna melt along with the chicken pot pie. Both were great options, but the pot pie definitely took 1st place and can be shared by two. The service was fantastic and the ambiance reminds you of a high end diner. I definitely will be back to try out other entree items. They have a really large selection to choose from! read more

Our waiter was nice, but the other employees seemed very stonefaced. The breakfast was mid, the double shot latte was milky, the food was honestly cold. The best thing was the Belgian waffle but the breakfast potatoes and eggs being cold was a real let down. The ambience was very nice and the outside patio was pretty Overall , Just eh, at least for the breakfast read more

Lovi's is great! Spacious, modern, clean, as if it just opened. The staff is super friendly, helpful, and attentive. The food is delicious, we went for breakfast this time: chicken noodle soup, enchilada breakfast plate, chicken pot pie, crepes, latte, and coffee. The dining area is so nice and spaced out. There is beautiful patio overlooking Calabasas, there is a lounge for adults only, a bar counter, and private area for parties. read more

We tried the Zoltan sandwich to-go for lunch driving back from Santa Barbara. It was just okay. The bread is dry and over baked. Twice baked is too baked in my opinion. Rough on the roof of your mouth dry. It was very salty, decent portion of meat. It could have been refined more. Fries were fresh and hot. Coleslaw was the standard creamy and sweet. A little plain. The restaurant is very nice and clean, they have a photo-op wall of flowers out front. I like the decor, but wished the sandwich matched it. read more

The manager is a prick 0/5 stars if I could give 0. Place would be alright if service was better.

We loved this place, even with being very busy, all staff were very attentive, food was great, reasonable prices, clean, huge variety of options for food, desserts looks great but was full to try any. The only concern is that's it's very noise Will definitely go again and again read more

I've seen the sign for Lovi's from the 101 so many times and, based on the 1970s design of the billboard, I always assumed that Lovi's was an old school diner. Imagine my surprise when I finally decide to visit for brunch, and I pull up to a modern restaurant and bakery! Inside, the space is open and bright, and there is also a patio. The food here is spot-on for brunch; I've now ordered for both dine-in and take-out, and the omelettes are a very generous size and consistently excellent. read more

It's a cozy place. Love the relax vibes here. Everyone is very friendly. We were seated immediately and served with ice cold drinks. I ordered chicken pot pie, potato skins and chicken with waffles. Everything is delicious, the chicken is a bit on a dryer side, love the potatoes skins. And that huge chicken pot pie. If you are coming in for the pot pie, ordered it immediately, it took 25 minutes. Next time, I'm definitely gonna get a dessert. read more

We went to lunch yesterday at Lovi's because my mom loves the hot pastrami on rye. We added Swiss cheese and Russian dressing to make a perfect combo. We also had fries that were perfectly crispy, just the way we ordered them! We had the chicken noodle soup and a toasted bagel. Our server kept us full with bagel chips that I'm truly still thinking about today. We sat on the patio with Murphy the Doodle and a good time was had by all! read more

Nice spot to get sandwiches, hot food, bakery, and drinks. When I first heard that my friends had chosen to goto a deli for lunch - I was expecting something small and cramped. To my surprise this place is enormous and beautifully decorated with a complete menu to satisfy any needs (and reasonable pricing given the enormous portions). This is located in a perfect spot across the street from the Hilton Garden Inn Calabasas, with plenty of parking and friendly service. The food here was better than expected, which I attribute to ingredient quality and being served quickly from the kitchen. read more

I've been sick the past few days, and this soup really helped me feel better. It came in a generous portion, everything was fresh and delicious. Thank you so much - I'm very satisfied!

We had breakfast here this morning and had a wonderful experience. The food was great, but what really stood out was our waitress, Heather. She was absolutely amazing--warm, friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout breakfast. Heather's great attitude and exceptional service made our morning even better. It's always nice to start the day with good food and someone who genuinely makes you feel welcome. Thank you, Heather, for taking such great care of us! We'll definitely be back. read more

Terrible customer service and nonsensical policies. I've been a loyal customer here for several years, but this place is rapidly going downhill. On my last visit, the manager flatout refused to let my dad and me order chicken fajitas off the Jose Goldsteins menu for dine-in, even though they told us we could order it to go. This makes absolutely no sense. To top it off, they've started charging cheap credit card fees. Unprofessional management and a total lack of appreciation for long-term customers. UPDATE POST MANAGER RESPONSE: this is a blatant lie. We were not offered other fajitas, only other food like tacos, I'm appalled. read more

Went for breakfast. 3 people including tip $100. That's ok but I want something for my money. Latkes were soggy and overcooked. Eggs? Good. Well how can you mess up an egg? The rest was mediocre but the worst part about the meal was the waitress. I am a former Marine but I will forsake the way in which I want to describe her. The place was packed but there were seats in what I perceived to be the "sports bar" section. I have never seen a liquor bar and flat screens in a deli. I checked out the owners and they are a highly successful and intelligent family. I can see their signature here. A lot of people in the valley love this place. It's in a high rent neighborhood so I shouldn't complain. There is a restaurant not a deli in Marina Del Rey, J Nichols Kitchen. It has food which I believe exceeds Lovi's. If you have to have deli food read no further. The prices are the same or higher. The difference between the two are service and the staff. How can you enjoy your dining experience when the staff are sub standard? The food, continental, is consistent and flavorful. The menu is creative. There is a small bar not hidden away no flatscreens. 10 minutes from the water not the air conditioner. read more

We love Lovies. Always excellent, appreciative service. Clean and comfortable and a terrific menu, almost everything on it done well. Bar needs Mic Zero. Parking can get a bit tight. Reasonable, fair prices. Solid choice, ya can't go wrong except: Hash Browns for breakfast usually very undercooked, greasy and we can't ever get that corrected. They don't want to hear it and they don't check back with you after serving. read more

The pastrami sandwich was so dry it was basically inedible, this is the second time. Save your money and go somewhere else.

While in Calabasas, my friend and I were heading to Sagebrush Cantina, but he had a hankering for Matzo Ball Soup and ended up at Lovi's instead. Great call! The establishment was very clean, nice and safe. As a matter of fact, the entire neighborhood felt the same. Inside was busy and noisy...which is to be expected during lunch time on a Saturday. There was a little wait, but got seated relatively quick. Upon first checking out the extensive menu... oy, yoy, yoy! Lots of delicious stuff from breakfast to main courses...so hard to make a decision. I ended up going for the Brisket Dip. What can I say...it was espléndido! Or more like...metzuyan! You have to try it. I'd definitely come back to try the "Zoltan". read more

I don't think it's really fair to judge based on what I had delivered, so I will be trying one of the sandwiches if I can figure our if the sky highs are coleslaw and 1000-Island on the sandwich - there's no description on the menu, at least on DoorDash. I had the tri-salad with two scoops of chicken salad and one egg salad with ranch and 1000-Island dressings. The egg salad was tops. The 1000-Island was great and the ranch was, too. The chicken salad had something in it that was weird-tasting to me, so I ended up not eating much of that and wished I'd gotten two scoops of egg salad or even three. I'll look forward to one of the sandwiches for sure. Maybe I'll even drive out there. I'm unpredictable. You know who told me I'm unpredictable? The predictable. And isn't THAT predictable. read more

Returned here and it was even better than I remembered. We took out a holiday dinner which was an incredible value and the top quality ingredients all perfectly prepared. We had two brisket dinners and two chicken dinners and the brisket was tender and delicious and the chicken moist and perfectly seasoned. We also started with some chopped liver that was better than my grandma made back in the day.. And the soups were over the top fantastic. Both the chicken noodle with really great tasting white meat chicken and the sweet and sour cabbage soup both simply fantastic. The vegetables were not over cooked and the mixed veg came in a light sauce. The mashed potatoes were to die for and the flourless chocolate cake divine.. Every dish was simply wonderful! read more
