Domenico's Italian Deli

Best sandwiches in the A for real. The team here is great and have been running shop for ages now. Been hitting this place up since high school, for 20+ years. Food is made to order and always great, fresh produce, great bread selection and great prices. Turkey cranberry and the hot roast beef is the go-to for me.

I love sandwiches! Great meat, fresh breads , variety of drinks ….. and of course something for the sweet tooth😍 Finding a replacement for Genova’s of Oakland has been a decade plus challenge for me … until I discovered Domenico’s in Alameda! I pay attention to the staff’s unspoken language and if the owner is present I watch them too! Well I always say staff reflects leadership… pleased to learn both are great people. ‼️Mrs Domenico and son really set the standard. I’m terrible with names( he told me his and his mother’s name) so I don’t want to mention but if you go there you’ll know immediately who I’m speaking about . ‼️ I’m all about legacy and family tradition, this is a third generation establishment which holds the same love & respect to the craft and people. It’s in the service.

Delicious sandwiches with quality ingredients, prepared efficiently by friendly staff. Really enjoyed the balance of flavor and texture in my toasted pastrami sandwich (with marbled rye, Swiss cheese, all toppings). The pastrami was tender and well seasoned, and not too salty. We also tried the Italian beef on a French roll. Very tasty, and the roll was perfect for soaking up the au jus.

Classic Italian deli. It even smells like you’re back on the east coast when you walk in. We used to go here all the time when we lived on the west end and the owner remembered us after 3 years! Great customer service, always, big menu, and quality ingredients. You can choose off the menu or make your own. They have vegetarian options too! ❤️

Sandwiches are exceptional and also the service. The wait is worth it. Never had a bad experience. The lamb sandwich, Chicago style beef sandwich is a favorite as well as the Italian combo.
