Danville Eatery Makes Bay Area Best Sandwich List

DANVILLE, CA — A properly made sandwich is anything but humble. From piled-high pastrami to ooey-gooey grilled cheese — nothing is quite as satisfying for a filling lunch. You've probably perfected your own favorites in your kitchen, but if you are looking to try a sub shop, cafe or deli, the Bay Area News Group put out a list recently of 16 restaurants to try around the Bay Area.

Several East Bay eateries made the list, including Domenico’s Delicatessen and Cafe in Danville.

“This upscale family-owned neighborhood deli is known for top-notch meats and housemade spreads, including flavored mayos, and fresh pasta salads (seven on our visit),” the paper gushed. “They also do a helluva vegetarian sandwich — five specialties — loaded with grilled, marinated or roasted veggies and various cheeses.”

The 30-year-old shop on Hartz Avenue offers a full delicatessen, cafe, and catering options. It also offers a number of upscale items like wine, gelato, olive oils, tomato sauces, and gourmet cheese. It is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 682 Hartz Avenue.

Other lauded East Bay shops include Sideboard in Lafayette, Waterfront Deli in Alameda, Americano in Livermore, Morucci’s of Walnut Creek, Carnitas el Canelo in Richmond, and Bara’s Deli in San Leandro.
