Always a lot of workers, friendly staff, local business. Sandwiches are some of the best in stockton. Iyktyk. Definitely gets busy on weekends, come before lunch rush if you want a popular bread like focaccia cause they run out. Good spot for gifts.
The sandwiches were so good, and so was the service, nice and fast. The place was packed! I was shocked when they got everybody in and out with delicious food in such a short matter of time. I will be visiting often. This is my grandpa's favorite sandwich place and now I know why. So much history inside and outside of the building!
This was an awesome place!! If you want the freshest bread, this is the place!! There sandwiches there were delicious!! The friendly staff was very warming & inviting. It was like walking right into a hug. I will definately be going there again weekly for all my bread, pasta, olive oil needs!! There is so much more than what I mentioned... definately a place I would whole Heartedly recommend!! 💯🙌🏽🍞🥪🥖🥪🍬
Absolute FIRE 🔥 sandwich spot. I bought a sourdough loaf. Will try in the morning. The pastrami on focaccia was exceptional. 5 🌟 all day. Patronize these places before they disappear.
I’ve been meaning to write a review for this place but everytime I want to take a photo the sandwich is already gone. I hated bread, pasta, gnocchi, and red meat sauce before visiting here but I love it now. The sandwiches are very affordable, $10.00 for one meat and $10.50 for double. I started off ordering extra meat for all my sandwiches but stopped because the meat is topped on so generously already you won’t be able to find a place that does it like Genova’s. (The sandwich pic I posted is extra meat, still have no photo of the normal sandwiches bc I eat them instantly and forget) I love the coppa and prosciutto on ciabatta, pastrami and roast beef, the havarti cheese, whatever combo you can think of on bread it’s gonna be great. The ingredients are all high quality, neither the bread, pasta, or gnocchi will make your stomach feel heavy. If you’re a pasta hater like me but want to be convinced otherwise get the truffle gnocchi and the meat sauce in the freezer. The meat sauce they sell is not like Ragu or even Rao’s it’s a red tomato based sauce but it’s not acidic. It doesn’t have watery filler tomato sauce in it, it’s perfect. I cook it for less than a minute then toss cooked gnocchi in there. You don’t even need to drown it in sauce. It has great spice, full of flavor, and it doesn’t overpower the truffle in the gnocchi. You will still be able to taste it. They are super pillowy too. My friends love the packaged cookies, lots of oils and vinegars you can buy here, as well as the same Italian candy I saw being sold at “Eataly” in San Jose except the prices here are much more reasonable. I love buying the ciabatta bread to make my own sandwiches at home too. I hate crusty breads, I’ve always preferred soft milk bread but the ciabatta is the perfect for me because it doesn’t taste overly yeasty or sugary like normal bread does. It’s very filling too. From Tracy to the Bay you literally cannot find another place that sells ciabatta rolls. In Berkeley there’s a bakery that sells the big crusty ciabatta bread but Genova still beats it because it’s cheaper. Everything sold here must be vetted because it’s just so exceptional. The only thing I don’t like is the basil pasta salad it’s just not my taste. Lastly all the staff have great attitudes. Service is quick, and this place opens super early. I don’t feel judged either for wearing the same set of clothes every-time I come here, not that anyone cares I always wash them but even my mom judges me for doing it 🤣
