1st Italian Experience
DESCRIPTION: People were really nice. Food is great and addictive. It was really loud at times, sometimes its better to just call ahead and pick up the food.

One hell of a place
DESCRIPTION: The people, the service, even other diners, were great. I have never been to a place so friendly and the prices are unheard of. I will be recommending SAN CARLO to all my friends and of course I will keep returning.

DISAPPOINTED
DESCRIPTION: After all those good reviews I had to check out San Carlo and was expecting Italian. But I really was disappointed. This place is a somewhat Italian place with some Italian, and a lot of fake Italian products. Or did I miss that Boar's Head is Italian? I grew up 50 miles from the Italian border and know about Italian food.

Nice place, even better food
DESCRIPTION: My boyfriend is from Italy and makes me drive all the way over to San Carlo to buy him buffalo mozzarella! It's fabulous! They make this calzone that is so amazing that I wish I had some of it right now. I really like this place and it does a great lunch time crowd.

Simona is crazy, San Carlo e' migliore!!! (is the best)
DESCRIPTION: I've grown up with San Carlo, ever since they had the deli in Van Nuys, and through the crisis of the riots, they found a new home in Chatsworth, and continue to be the highest in quality of product, friendliness of service, and overall ambience for any italian deli I've been to up and down the California coast. Giovanni and family are the best!

Not worth the drive
DESCRIPTION: I don't know what people mean by "authentic", but this doesn't do it for me. Food is good, but unless you're an insider the service is lacking.

San Carlo is the greatest
DESCRIPTION: I traded with San Carlo for three years before moving to Bend Oregon, where we don't have ONE Italian deli. Not one. If Givanni or Pasquale read this please send me your email address. This is Bud Brooks writing. There is no food like yours.

from my perspective
DESCRIPTION: Ok, I love that place, around the corner from my house, a piece of lingo-speaking Italians to begin with give this extra authenticity effect. You gotta be Italian to know what to get, or with an Italian friend, otherwise don't judge. Buy a Panzerotto for only $2.50 each, you'll get culinarily off. Pane is done fresh for real, the first place I could by a pane type called "michetta", they also have popular other pane like "pugliese" and so on, Focaccia is done fresh, and pizza too, decent selection of prosciutto and coppa and pancetta and so forth, olives. Plus they MAKE fresh dolci, all kinds, pugliesi, siciliani and so on... much respect to Giovanni, the owner, Pasquale the son, and the others... andrea_catto@hotmail.com

This is the place in the valley to feel Italian
DESCRIPTION: Giovanni and his family make this place feel better then home. It's fun and exciting and spreads to those that eat there too. It's friendly and the food is great and the prices right too! There are many a time I walk in to see freinds eating there too! We have a super bowl party catered by San Carlo that is to die for. Quantity and quality are unsurpassed.

You all have obviously never been to Cavaretta's!
DESCRIPTION: First of all, I'd like to start by saying that San Carlo's is not that good and I'm disappointed that I followed your influence and went to this 2nd rate establishment. True, the owner seems to be a nice fellow, however the sandwiches are sub-par.
