    Best in the SouthBay! I've only been going here for 5 years but they've been here for decades and it's easy to see why. Lots of everything...all of it awesome Killer deli with great sausages and more....pepper shooter, marinara, fresh mozzarella, dips, salads....... Awesome Dessert case with all the hits... Prepared meals and salads and sides.... Bakery ON SITE!! Accommodating staff....all very cordial and some are extraordinarily sweet And great quality of everything! You'll buy more than you planned and less than you wanted to

    Love everything about this place (except I wish it was closer to my house)! Very authentic old school Italian deli. Portions are great, taste and quality are second to none. Deli sandwiches and Chicken Parm are fantastic. Bakery items are perfect!

    This place is amazing. A little Italian grocery store and restaurant together. They have some of the best baked bread and cannolis I've ever had. I love the selection of wines they had and the manager there really knows his stuff. He helped us pick out a couple of wonderful wines. Highly recommend

    Love Giuliano's, best Italian Deli Take Out & Market around. Delicious authentic Italian food doesn't get any better than this if you're not Italian and know how to make it yourself. Just ordered 2 trays of Lasagna for Easter. Had their Manicotti for the first time the other day, it was EXCELLENT best I've ever had. Their Torpedo sandwiches are so delicious as well and they always have them made up and ready to go. Excellent service and workers are friendly and so helpful. All around exceptional Italian Deli and Market. Just wish they had more of them. I know some closed, this might be the only one left, don't quote me on that though.

    Always has been and always will be the best and our favorite sandwiches and deli foods. Wow. The consistency of every item is fantastic. The way this specific location is run is why we drive from. San Diego to get our sandwiches. I do recommend taking the drive from wherever you are to come and get some delicious food. Thier deli selection and fresh made breads are also superb. We got 4 torpedos with extra mert and a turkey carpi sandwich today. Can't give you enough positive adjectives. Get here soon!! You will not regret it.

    So far strawberry shortcake and the pastrami sandwich was delicious 😋. Will try the chicken salad sandwich 😋 tomorrow. The oatmeal raisin cookies are soft and sweet. So IF YOU don't mind driving to Gardena it's well worth the price. Just get there before 6p.

    This place has a deli, Bakery, pizzeria, has cheeses, wines, patisserie, this place has got it all. I ordered a personal pizza, a meatball sandwich and a corned beef sandwich. The pizza was crispy crust, full flavor cheese and a nice delicate sauce. The corned beef was tender and flavorful. I got the tiramisu and it was light and sweet but not too sweet. The meatball sandwich was really good, he asked for extra marinara and it was a good choice.

    Look, I get it- its a family run shop that is both an Italian grocery shop and seat yourself restaurant, just like the other one in Torrance. I mean for $9, the Giulio is better than most sandwiches you'll get, but as an east coast Italian-American, I was dissapointed. The meats and cheeses were ok, a little thicker than I would like but they were about the consistency of subway taste- not too expressive but not too bland. The bread though... the bread was where I lost all hope. Like you would put a hogie in, it was entirely soft and the crust had no crunch. I... I want to like this place, the bread behind the counter looks decent... why don't they make a sandwich on semolina (and why don't they make a long semolina loaf and not a semolina round)? I mean, if I can't trust you to make a decent sandwich, how can I trust that your sausages or brachioli are worth a damn.

    My daughter got spaghetti that came with a large, 6 inch roll made into garlic bread. It was very good. Again, enough for 2 people to share. I ordered a pizza and it was hot and flavorful. Lots of cheese yum! They have a wide selection of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. There is a bakery that sells a wide array of fresh breads. I bought a loaf to use with dinner tonight. They all look very good. There is also a pastry counter where you can buy the most moist, delicious cakes, pastries, and cookies. I hope it always stays so good!! Going back soon!

    I've been going here for years. The Italian food is delicious. Have a great variety of salads, ham, sausage, desserts, wine. They even make their own bread. Service is on point. Great workers. Reminder sometimes there's a line. But for all amazing food there's a wait. Enjoy

    Patience. The young man behind the counter has so much patience with me when I order the lunch meats and cheeses. He never displays any impatience, no rude services, just a smile. And believe me, I order alot. This store had always been clean and never disappoints. I've been going there since I was wee little one and their business has changed; always improving each year.

    Giuliano's, Giuliano's, Giuliano's Wow! I used to frequent them often. Just for a sandwich, sometimes a brownie. I used to think they were pretty good. I hadn't stopped by in over a year. The quality of the Sandwiches, and The ineptitude of the Person making my sandwiches...has made me say NO thank you to eating there again 😕. I ordered 2 sandwiches all together. A corned beef melt, and a ham / cheese. I ordered the melt with Cheese, and Mustard only. The Ham, and cheese with American Cheese. SIMPLE right!!!???? Not so much, it seems. First of all their Quality of meats they use has gone straight down the tubes. I equate the quality of their meat to what you would get out of pre-packaged grocery store cold cuts. Not only that there was some shredded cabbage, or lettuce mixture put on my sandwich ( I'm guessing maybe it was coleslaw??) I ordered mustard / cheese only... Side note - I hate coleslaw!!! 😵 There was 0 American cheese on my ham sandwich... Swiss ( I believe ) instead.. in short I wasted almost $22.00 on Sandwiches that went 1/2 and Thrown in the trash. Shame on you Giuliano's!! But hey at least your bread seemed Fresh. 🙄🤬🤬🤬

    Great deli counter with lots of sandwich options, including a cheese sandwich for vegetarians. The bakery is amazing too, with lots of cookies and pastries. Quite a few tables in front of the shop for outdoor dining.

  • 5/5 Loraine T. 1 year ago on Google
    This Italian deli in Gardena is the best!!! Their torpedo sandwiches are so yummy! I get extra pepperoncinis on mine. I've been going here for over 50 years. This is the original deli. The Torrance location is not nearly as good. Try it! I promise that you'll find something that you love or like, from their pastries to their breads to their hot and cold foods to their delicious sandwiches!!! ~ Loraine

  • 5/5 Jennifer F. 1 year ago on Google
    I've eaten Giulianos since I was a kid in 1981... the pizza is thee best and you definitely cannot go wrong with the classic Torpedo sub! On a hot day, I've always opted for the antipasto salad....the oil, vinegar n spices dressing on fresh lettuce,meats and artichoke hearts...is tasty! N never forget to order at least a half pound of cookies/pastries! All in all, you can't go wrong eating here. My man prefers to order the smash meatball sub w cheese...just go! Eat there! Or get it to go!

  • 5/5 Ursula r. 1 year ago on Google
    This place has the best selection of cheese and fresh meat. You're also able to get fresh baked bread/rolls. This enables you to go home and make the best sub sandwiches in town 😉 Or, you can have it made there by ordering from their extensive menu which includes a variety of hot and cold subs, pizza and salads to name a few. Bon Appetite!

  • 5/5 Hugo T. 1 year ago on Google
    Really liked this place! Delicatessen with a few tables for consumption. Pastas/Lasagna are amazing, pizzas are really nice also. A must: their meatball sub, delicious 🤤

  • 3/5 Brandon L. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a great place for sandwiches, Italian deli meats and cheeses, and fresh bread and pastries. I would recommend avoiding ordering any hot food items on site since it takes about 30min or more each time I've gone and takes effort on your part to make sure they haven't forgotten your order. Call ahead if you have the time, otherwise, stick to the cold sandwiches and ready-made options. The torpedo is well deserving of their most popular sandwich title, they usually have them ready to-go, so get that and avoid ordering hot sandwiches at the counter unless you've got 30+min to spare!

  • 5/5 Heather K. 10 months ago on Google
    The best Italian deli — always has been, always will be. The best torpedo sandwiches, terrific variety of deli meats and cheeses and gorgeous pastries in the bakery. They carry my favorite lemonade in the fridge and my favorite chips in the grocery side. Just writing this makes me want to go back right now.

  • 4/5 jacob b. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is a hidden gem they have many variety of things I got the pizza I asked for extra sauce it was dry I got a meatball sub the sun is Bombski way better then the pizza if the pizza had extra sauce like I asked it would probably be better the desert and subs is Bombski I would come back but not get the pizza skimped me out in the sauce smh

  • 5/5 Kota B. 1 year ago on Google
    There's nothing like a small family owned business that takes pride in the quality of their products. Everything is always fresh from the deli meats to the pizza to the desserts. The staff has always been helpful and respectful. You can dine in, take out, or even have it delivered now I 🤔! This is one of my family's favorite small spots, and we literally have to set a budget and list for when we go cause we can get carried away!

  • 5/5 Giovani M. 8 months ago on Google
    Very good Italian deli store to find delicious Italian ingredients for your recipes. They have premade dishes that are ready to eat, A small bakery if you are looking for fresh bread, they also make fresh pizza to order. The Parking is limited in the area but usually not a problem.

  • 5/5 jennifer b. 6 months ago on Google
    Delicious sandwiches! Pizza is good too!! Order ahead for faster service. In the store area you can buy all kinds of Italian products. They also ready made salads and other foods. Parking is on the street, but there's usually a few open spaces.

    Been coming here for 45 years with my parents, and now my children. It's Gardena's pride! The ambiance is homey. Owners always polite. Any food you order will be exquisite with that original Italian flavor. Country pastrami, one of my favorites. Pastries...yummy. Fresh baked bread...I could go on, and on. Try it you will love it!

  • 5/5 Lori R. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious meatball crumble sandwich, chicken parmesan sandwiches, and lemon bars for dessert. Really big sandwiches. I got the small size meatball and still had to cut it in half. Can't wait to eat the rest!

Also, the food they prepare is good. I ate there often and I was always satisfied. The expense is modest. I highly recommend this restaurant to all my friends.

    I'm sure everyone who reads this post knows this is the spot for torpedoes! But...in case you've never been to Giuliano's, the torpedo sandwich is a MUST!!! Oh, and for dessert make sure you try a canoli or a lemon bar. Aside from pre-made items, me and my family love the deli here. We are SUPER into cured meats and deli cheese. This is our spot to keep the fridge stocked with yummy panini ingredients.
