The food was really good. The place is very small and casual but seems like a lot of small places like this one have very good food.

Wish they had the old French rolls but still a good cheesesteak sandwich. Ask for extra cheese! Fries are a must

Maybe the best subs in Novato, if not Marin. The Delite Assorted is my go to, but the meatball and the philly cheesesteak are also great. Half sub is the same size as a standard from Michael's or Sourdough&Co.

Since the Firehouse restaurant closed last year, we’ve been looking for a replacement and decided to try this Italian delite. It’s been around since the 70s or more so they’ve got to know what they’re doing. We ordered a half tuna sandwich which was under $10 and the restaurant split the order for us without asking so kudos to them! The sandwich was hot and delicious!!! I think we found our new stop in Novato. They also had outside seating and a restroom so plus plus for cyclists!! The half sandwich was more than enough for the two of us as the full sandwich must be huge!!! Mostly locals come and the service is chill so a great new discovery!!!

I’ve been eating here since the 1990s. The sandwiches are fabulous and taste just as good as way back when. Consistency is awesome, they nail it every time.

Love this little place. Super nice people, talented grill cooks, and delicious sandwiches. Amazingly affordable. Even the "half" sandwich is huge!! It was my first Philly cheesesteak style sandwich and they helped me understand all the options plus made good recommendations. The guy at the register is incredibly kind and the meat was grilled to perfection. You won't find a better value for a sandwich that tastes this good! Yum.

Solid sub sandwich’s. It’s a small shop with a small amount of indoor and outdoor seating. The Philly Cheesesteak Sub and thick cut potato fries appears to be popular with the guests.
