Cavaretta's is an Italian deli located at 22045 Sherman Way in Canoga Park, CA. It was founded in 1959.
History
Cavaretta's was founded by Lou Cavaretta in 1959.[1][2] It was sold in 1978, and two years later, sold again. Finally, in 1983, it was sold to Joe and Paul Nunneri, whose mother also took a place at the deli. In 2000, Dave Weisberg replaced Joe Nunneri, partnering with Paul.[3]
The deli makes many foods from scratch, including lasagna, antipasto, caprese salads, and marinara,[4] as well as cannoli from a Mrs. Nunneri recipe dating to 1953[5] and hand-rolled meatballs.[6] Freshly baked rolls are also served.[7]
Menu
The Cavaretta's sandwiches come with a choice of 12 meats, such as peppered turkey, spicy salami, and four flavors of chicken.[8] All sandwiches come with lettuce, tomato, onions, mustard, mayonnaise, Italian dressing, and cheese.[9]
