I use them for catering a party last night. Everything was excellent. The potato salad superb My guest, especially loved their eggplant sandwich with the fresh mozzarella and roasted peppers. The Italian rolls were delicious, crusty and soft on the inside. I had an Italian pastry tray, which went over very well. I would definitely use them again I can't believe I've been out here in California so many years and never knew this place until a few weeks ago. A truly great East Coast type Italian store and deli. read more

Monte Carlo Deli serves authentic Italian pasta, pizza, and sandwiches. My go-to orders are the meat lasagna and the pastrami sandwich. The lasagna is delicious, and the noodles melt in your mouth. I like it because it's not overly heavy like some other lasagnas. It comes with two piecea of garlic bread. During my last visit, one was a bit burnt on the edges. The pastrami sandwich is really tasty, and the bread is soft but still has a nice chew. It usually comes with marinated diced tomatoes, but I always ask for them on the side. If you dine in, the sandwich comes with two deli sides. On my last visit, I got the potato salad and marinated artichokes and both were great. The potato salad was creamy, and the artichokes were super flavorful. For dessert, I tried the tiramisu, and it was a bit underwhelming. It had a slightly gritty texture. Since it's imported from Italy, I had high expectations, but I'm guessing it's shipped frozen, which might be why it didn't taste fresh. I wouldn't order it again. They also sell Italian cookies and gelato. The cookies are good, especially the raspberry ones. The gelato is really refreshing. I recommend mixing mango and raspberry if you like something tart, or trying the tiramisu flavor if you want something sweeter. It's a cafeteria-style deli, so you order at the counter, pay, and then find a table. They also have outdoor seating. read more

So, without a doubt I've had my fair share of Italian food. But you haven't LIVED until you try this place. I had the absolute pleasure of getting to try their butternut squash ravioli in a delicious pink sauce, and their monte carlo pizza which I cannot possibly over praise for how fantastic how perfectly crispy the crust was. Tons of pizzas get it wrong, where you'll get a "gummy" layer between the top and bottom of your standard pizza, but this one? This one was PERFECT in the crisp factor and the toppings, were fantastic. To top it all off, we got some gelato which exactly the kinds of thing that helps shake off a heatwave. The people serving us were super friendly and it genuinely makes me wish I had known about this place sooner. The GARLIC BREAD was so fantastically tasty that I could have made it a dish all by itself. The spot really makes you feel like you're at home, and I'm just grateful I happened to be hungry in the general area. Cheers! read more

Monte Carlo Deli - Garlic bread, and butternut squash ravioli in pink sauce. - Italian Near Me - Burbank, California

I have been going to Monte Carlo for almost 40 years. Half of the store is a Italian deli and the other half is Pinocchio restaurant. The restaurant is cafeteria style with eat in or take option. The menu is pizza, salads, sandwiches and pasta. The Italian deli is has the most extensive selection of Italian cheese and cold cuts in Burbank. Their Italian sausage taste homemade and fresh. It's not made in house but it is not loaded with preservatives. read more

Absolutely love this place. It's half restaurant and half Italian grocery store. There's ample parking in a lot to the side of the building. The restaurant side of the place is order-at-the-counter, and they have everything from lasagna to ravioli, eggplant parmesan, and various salads. They load you up with so much food and a whole basket of garlic bread. Huge portions and great prices. The tables are covered in white-and-red checkered tablecloths, and it's a super popular family spot for lunch and dinner. Room for large groups. Classic maroon leather booth seating. Plenty of tables in 3 different rooms and a few tables on an outdoor patio. The grocery side features a gelato case, a bakery case full of all sorts of Italian cookies and pastries, lots of wine, pasta, cheeses, tomato sauce, olive oils, fresh breads...so many delicious things!!! If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out. Service can take a bit of time, especially when they're busy, but I promise it's worth the wait. This place is an experience. read more

This is a hidden gem in Burbank. They have deli/ grocery and restaurant all in the same location which makes it very convenient. They sell gelato too which it's perfect to try during summer. They have a variety of Italian deli meat and sausages. They also sell pasta and pasta sauces all made in Italy. They have different kinds of Italian coffees too. I also noticed they sell Italian packaged cookies and They also have a small selection of different kinds of Italian pastries such as cannoli. This location makes you feel like you're in Italy since everything is Italian. Even the restaurant is decorated like the restaurants in Italy. Service is friendly. As I was walked in I was greeted. There were people ordering food to go or to dine in. I believe this location takes online and phone orders. For the parking, this location has a private parking lot. I didn't have any issues finding parking spot on a Saturday afternoon. There is also street parking available too. I will be back to try different flavors of gelato. read more

My family has been coming here for years and the deli has a wide variety of meats and cheeses at decent prices. The family comes here specifically for the mozzarella. They are some of the freshest cold cuts around. They also have some amazing bread naked fresh deli. A small Italian market within the deli sells various Italian goods such as wine, crackers, pasta, cookies, and other items. If you are looking for an Italian ingredient for a meal but can't find it, check here. read more

If you're craving a little slice of Italy in Burbank, Monte Carlo's is the hidden gem you need to check out. I came here for a casual Italian lunch and left completely stuffed and satisfied. Lasagna - Absolute comfort food. Layers of pasta, perfectly seasoned meat sauce, ricotta, and melty cheese... it was everything I wanted in a classic lasagna. Generous portion and served piping hot. Pizza - Thin crust, crispy edges, and that sweet-savory sauce combo that makes you close your eyes after the first bite. I went with a classic pepperoni and wasn't disappointed. It's not trying to reinvent the wheel--just good, honest, Italian-style pizza. Spaghetti and Meatballs - The meatballs were tender and flavorful, clearly homemade, and the spaghetti was cooked just right--not mushy, not too firm. The marinara sauce? Rich, garlicky, and not overly acidic. A solid staple that hits the spot. Gelato - Don't leave without getting gelato from the deli side. The pistachio and stracciatella were incredible. Creamy, fresh, and not overly sweet. A perfect way to end the meal. Bonus: The old-school Italian deli attached is full of treasures--imported pastas, sauces, and a ton of stuff you'll want to take home. TL;DR: Classic Italian food, zero pretense, great portions, and old-world charm. Whether you're dining in or picking up from the deli, Monte Carlo's is a Burbank institution for a reason. read more

I grew going to this store. The ownership has changed but the store remains largely unchanged. They carry Italian items that are difficult to find elsewhere. This is the place you go if you love Italian bread (they slice it for you), you love parm/pecorino blended cheese (they grate it fresh for you), Italian sausage (mild, hot or fennel) and imported olive oil. Sure, there is a deli and gelato, and they are fine, but I go to buy the ingredients to make my nonna's recipes. Don't forget to grab a number if you need something from behind the counter. read more

There was a time many years ago that the restaurant was pretty good. It's not a fancy restaurant. It's basically cafeteria style food. Wasn't impressed today. The food was basic, it was Lukewarm, the meatball lacked flavor & the spinach ravioli was fair. The eggplant parm was soggy. I've had these dishes in the past and they were much better back then. I felt like I was eating a frozen dinner that was reheated. I would just stick with their pizza. I wouldn't go back again. Deli market is great! Large variety of items. Service is ok. read more

We were hosting a Halloween lunch at our office. Office potlucks are fun especially when you get to order some things so large there's no way of missing it. The 4 foot sub sandwich was for Monte Carlo. I went into the deli and ordered the sub sandwich two days in advance. Staff was really helpful and courteous just the best service all around. There were about 20+ people partaking in the lunch and the sandwich was all gone! I highly recommend Monte Carlo deli for all of your catering needs especially when you're doing an Italian theme:) read more

This time I came here to get all the "salami" needed for a Muffellata. The New Orleans mega sandwich. It was for a gathering of friends to honor my Brother Maurizio (who passed away 5/25/18) he was an avid sandwich fan. I came here early Saturday morning, and it was a breeze, for me, but a lot of work for Edgar who actually asked me how he can help. Well I told him all of the "salumi" I opted for 1/2 lb each of mortadella con pistachi, prosciutto, capocollo, salami genovese, provolone, caccio cavallo. He was on it while I perused the aisles, finding the necessary olive salad, giardiniera, and pepperonicini. I then went to the counter and everything was perfectly wrapped in pristine white deli paper, all marked. Right behind the checkout was the perfect sesame bread I needed for the edible vessel I needed for these delectable treasures. Edgar's professionalism was instrumental in my execution of my first Muffellata, it was a success! Thank you Edgar and Monte Carlo Deli read more

Italian Deli meets Restaurant Serving the San Fernando Valley for over 50 years with a wide range of imported wines, cheeses, meats, groceries and more... Not to mention in house made from scratch bread and other local favorites plus they do Italian Ice Cream aka Gelato aka it's part Gelateria (they may even have a sorbet). It's beautiful brick walls plus rustic panels on the restaurant half and bright well spaced displays in the grocery with lots of Italian and European motifs throughout. I've found some great gifts for friends over the years (grocery side) only stopping in briefly for wine and more, but finally had the full Monte Carlo /Pinocchio experience when we dined in. It was busy as I expected but picked up even more as we were ordering. My boyfriend went for the meat lasagna and knowing this was going to be my first big meal of the day I was ready to build an epic large salad and wow did I ever! The layout is pretty fun, intimate and neighborhood. First rate service and kindness from start to finish. I did a few sides like the artichokes, mushrooms and so on but did remember they had some go to small salads like their: Three Bean Salad, Spinach Salad, Green Bean Salad, Caesar, etc. Note the salads aren't listen on the menu board (behind the deli counter), however all the ingredients are laid out in front of you as well as online. Vegetarian options are abundant as well as some gluten free options especially when it comes to pizzas or pasta. You can even have a vegan pizza pie done without cheese. I discovered the Vegan Vegetable Ravioli (also GF) after our lunch here, definitely noted for next time. I try to just enjoy what I can when I check out authentic Italian spots like M.C.'s so it's always appreciated when they have a few things to choose from PLUS... The portions and prices for everything are out of this world from Ziti to Spaghetti dishes, Eggplant Parmigiana, Sandwiches, tons of other entrees, sides for days and more including bottled beverages, beer, wine and water. You can enjoy a few tables or booths inside or the patio (limited seating) overlooking Magnolia Blvd in the city of Burbank near other longtime must like The Mystic Museum, Halloween Town, Blast From the Past and more. Parking is easy (free) in their lot and you can enter from the street facing sides - street parking is your friend as well, especially if you'll be in the area for a bit. They do have some table service, but you'll get most of what you need after you check out with cafeteria style trays to carry out your food and beverages. It's definitely a touch of fast casual rather than full on restaurant. A must try staple in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley that you'll be happy you tried, visited and hopefully enjoyed. read more

This place is a hidden gem of the kind I absolutely LOVE finding. I'm a sucker for those old-world markets, where the terms "vegan," "gluten free," and "nitrate free," just don't seem to make an appearance. Definitely had a Euro-Italian thing going on, with a sit-down restaurant that serves several hot meals and sandwiches. Loved the ambiance, loved the selection, and the food was decent. It was busy, but we DID go at lunch, so... If you're looking for a great selection of deli meats and cheeses, mustards and other unique condiments, and a wide variety of wines, give this place a try. read more

Monte Carlo Deli - Nice place to discover in burbank! Sick Italian Deli! - Italian Near Me - Burbank, California

Used to be a staple location for good, affordable and friendly deli and Italian food. Unfortunately, they don't seem to really care about the customer anymore. Got both of my orders wrong ad what I did get was subpar at best. Sad fall from grace. Nice ambiance at least. If you feel like paying for that and eating whatever they feel like throwing at you, I guess. read more

Every time my bestie and I are in Burbank, we come here. It's a great place to hold birthday parties, the Pinocchio decor is so cute. The baked ziti and Caesar salad are our favorites on the menu.

I can't believe in my over 30 years having grown up in LA that I only came to this deli / market for the first time. I loved the atmosphere of walking into the kitchen of someone's home, the portions, prices, and selections were just all on point. They quickly got our meal prepared and seem to have enough staff to get people through. We went at lunchtime on a weekday and it was moderately busy but not impossible. Street parking can sometimes be a challenge but it helps that they have two doors of entry. Definitely returning here soon. read more

Monte Carlo Deli - Pinocchio Chef Salad - Italian Near Me - Burbank, California

Major stomach ache after eating here. I arrived around 5pm on a Monday night and the place was half full with customers. Ambiance feels extremely outdated. Throwback to the 1980's. I ordered the cheese raviolis with pink sauce with a side of sausage. Food was lukewarm and the taste was rather forgettable. Some of the saddest garlic bread I've ever tasted. To be honest, I'd rather go to the Olive Garden (which isn't saying much) than ever eating here again. read more

Was checking out the antique/thrift shops along Magnolia in Burbank when I remembered Monte Carlo. Hadn't been there in several years so my son and I went in for lunch. We shared a meatball sub and a pizza. The sandwich was wonderful, and we didn't realize that the medium pizza would be so big that we ended up bringing most of it home to finish at dinner. The ambiance is spectacular, like stepping back in time and sitting in those old booths. For a moment I was back in Little Italy in NYC. read more

Food is always delicious and the ambience is fun and whimsical! Very nice guys taking your order and preparing the food, they'll always help you out. Favorite combo is the Chicken Cesar Salad and the Fettucine Alfredo! They give you garlic bread with the order and you have a whole wall of wine options to choose from! And very fortunately you do not have to look far for dessert as their gelato is the absolute best! So yummy! read more

Monte Carlo Deli - chicken Fettuccini Alfredo Caesar Salad - Italian Near Me - Burbank, California

Me and my family went here 2 weekends in a row. Prices here are unbeatable. Its not the best pasta but it really does give you a good run on your money. I've tried their Marinara and meatballs, which remains as my favorite because they know how to make their meatballs good. I was not expecting the bolgnese to look like shredded meatballs but it did not taste fresh. I would not get the bolognese again. Each pasta dish comes with these garlic bread, which is ciabattas toasted with garlic butter, addicting. My family enjoyed their sandwiches (Monte Carlo and Pastrami) and both came with 2 sides, which they had many choices to choose from. They also have a market where you can get Italian pastries and gelato. We always get gelato after our dinner here since its good too with a nice assortment of flavors. The line might be long but it is well worth it for the value as well as the ambiance. It feels like your traditional Italian-American restaurant. There is a parking lot and street parking so parking is easy. read more

Monte Carlo Italian Market is such a special place. I came in needing help selecting ingredients for a pizza party I was hosting, and the team was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and generous with their time. They guided me through everything with care, offering thoughtful recommendations and making sure I had exactly what I needed to create something delicious. You can feel the pride they take in their products and in helping their customers succeed in the kitchen. Thanks to them, the pizza party was a huge hit.

I had dinner here at peak dinner hours and there was a line. It moves fairly quickly, but be prepared to wait. (Think Porto's line.) I had spaghetti and it was okay. I love the giant meatballs that comes with it. I wish the spaghetti was actually drained that way the meat sauce isn't diluted with pasta water. The Monte Carlo Combination was really good and I think the best bang for your buck. For an additional $1 (for dine-in meals) you get 2 sides to choose from. The sandwich had a good ratio of meat and bread. The staff was great. You can tell that this place has been around for years and knows exactly what they're doing. After dinner you can have some cookies (that are weighed) or gelato for dessert. There is also a small grocery store and fresh meats which is also a huge plus for this place. read more

Pinocchio wouldn't lie about this place, it's truly a hidden gem with homemade lasagna, fresh Lobster ravioli, delicious pasta salads, decadent made from scratch Gelato & heavenly conalois! It's decent prices, large portions, generous amounts of garlic bread, as well as subs and cheesy pizzas. There is an Italian product store inside as well so you can buy imported olive oil, made fresh frozen gnocchi and Raviolis as well as tiramisu. It's a very laid back family atmosphere bustling with people. Service was incredible, very friendly and speedy. I loved every bite. The meat in the lasagna was a bit salty but we cleaned our plates and enjoyed our pistachio and coffee Gelato. It was truly the best a lot I've ever had in my life. Creamy, thick, with a natural taste. The chocolate cannoli I got was also like an orgasm in my mouth. It was to die for, I would absolutely return just to get that by itself as well as the Gelato. Also. The fun pinocchio inspired paintings inside are so creepy and fun to look at!!! read more

I have shopped at Monte Carlo Deli for several decades, for whatever that is worth. Been there jammed packed, been there empty. One thing had never changed: YA GOTTA TAKE A NUMBER FOR SERVICE. But based on my visit on 6/5/2025, that custom has been trashed. The counter area was a free-for-all. This is as bad as I have seen it there but the decline in honest customer service shows badly.

Catered some food for memorial for grandma. No delivery service but had no problem picking it up have a problem that the website prices were not what I was quoted on the phone for example a full tray of chicken cutlet Parmesan on the website was $85 but I was told on the phone it was 135 I ordered a couple of things anyway half a half a eggplant Parmesan and a full catering pan of chicken cut with Parmesan. After picking it up and dropping it at the memorial it was horrible. This chicken was just fat pieces of chicken. It was not cutlets. It was not breaded. No did it have mozzarella on it? It was not chicken cutlet Parmesan. It was not breaded, and it was on top of pasta. It looks terrible. It tasted terrible. That eggplant Parmesan was not breaded. There was some bread crumbs thrown on the top maybe that's the way they make it but being in Italian I never had chicken cutlet Parmesan, which is fat pieces of chicken not breaded with no mozzarella. What a rip off do not go to this place. read more
