Giuliano's Delicatessen and Bakery

Best Italian deli I have come across. Prices are fair. Store is always clean and staff are always nice and welcoming. Dined in. Small sandwiches are HUGE. I love their tuna with mayo, mustard, onions and cheese. Their torpedo is beyond delicious. Fountain drinks are never flat. I love their spinach dip. Chinese chicken salad is delicious and their fried zucchini is YUMMMMMMY!!!!

I love their variety of cheeses, Italian sodas, items you can choose for charcuterie boards, their deli has so much to offer too. I love that I can always pick up and buy a yummy chocolate bar on the way out. They close at 6pm. The Torrance location has a dine in area.

Quality has gone down but prices have slowly but steadily raised during the pandemic.

$12.00 for a large torpedo. Skimpy protein portion. Bread is still phenomenally chewy and fresh. (Whew!)

Definitely rooting for both locations but might be awhile before I come back for a torpedo.

So I order their signature torpedo sandwich which they claim to have 1/2 pound of meats in the sandwich. There was a total of 3 slices of salami, 3 slices of hot ham, 2 slices of provolone, 3 slices of mortadella, I don't know if sandwiches here in the past had more meat, but the sandwich was very disappointing and definitely did not have half a pound of meat.
In regard to the staff, everybody was wonderful and very welcoming.

This is a great Italian deli and bakery; they have several locations. Perfect for a picnic or concert in the park, that's when we tend to go anyway.

This one in Torrance is good, truthfully, they all are. They have several sandwich options, all tasty. PRO TIP: get the large, it's not much more but you get a lot more to eat or keep for a snack later. My 'go to' options, one is warm and one is cold, include the crumbled meat ball, served perfectly warm with crushed meatballs simmered in sauce, covered in provolone, and served on a French roll, 'A' grade. On the cold side I like their Giulio, a combination of Italian meats, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pepperoncini with special Italian dressing. Served on a french roll. For the record, the large features over a 1/2 lb. of meat and cheese! 'A' grade.

Their general deli section with Italian meats, cheeses, salads, sauces, etc., is divine, something to drool over.

They also have a focused (small) selection of Italian provisions, like crackers, wine, nonalcoholic beverages, and desserts. But, it still delivers when you need real Italian ingredients and have a hankering. The staff is always friendly, and you can order through their website for pick-up.

Had their giant roast beef and spicy Italian sandwiches to go at a party nearby. The bread was a little too big but the ham, salami and cheese tasted good! We've had their sandwiches for takeout before and saw some people lining up for them. They must be popular for their lunch menu.

Hidden gem I think was their desserts! I especially liked the tiny cannoli and puff pastry cake (millefeuille I think). I need to go back and check the menu.

Parking is easy in the wide shared parking lot with many other stores.

This place offers a little if everything. Their torpedo sandwich is really tasty if you need to pick up some lunch. Salads are all fresh and they have a great selection of baked goods too. This can be a on stop shop too if you are making pasta at home.

Great food , had the sausage sandwich very good, the bakery had all kinds of pastries, deli is full, the store has all speciality's from Italy

Use to get their signature Torpedo since 1990s......I just bought 3 torpedos for Superbowl Sunday Feb 11th 2024......

Heres my Review:
Its ALL bread now!...So much I only taste the dang bread!....Theres like a thin layer of meat now!...WTF?...lol.... so sad!..
Never buy anything from here again!...Thumbs DOWN...

Later guys

Back in the day the Gardena location had a linguine with clams dish that was to die for. I wondered if the same recipe could possibly exist years later at the Torrance location so I gave it a try. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT.

First off, there's no linguine with clams but rather fettuccine with clams. BUT WHY?? You'd think an Italian joint that sells a ton of Italian product would be able to offer a pretty classic pasta. I decided I was going to be adventurous and try the fettuccine anyway but as the photo shows, it's MUSHY, soaked with all the sauce that's supposed to be sitting in the bottom of the dish and the sauce is so bland the pasta literally tastes like uncooked dough. Guys, a bit of lemon and salt goes a long way ok? The clams were ok in flavor but again, mushy and I'm not a senior citizen with no teeth lol.

You get a free side of breadsticks that aren't fresh and soft, but rather somewhat burnt on top. Hard pass on that too.

Waited for my order in the outdated dining area which could have used some attention.. Trash on the floors and all surfaces could've used a thorough wipedown.

They get one star for friendly staff and one star for shelves stocked with lots of Italian goodies.

I'll never order a cooked meal from here again.

We went there on my birthday hoping to be able to eat there. We had eaten there before and the food is good BUT the service sucked. We told them we were eating there and they showed up with everything in a bag...no plates nothing. We're sitting in the booth and had been there before and got full service with real plates and everything. I was so embarrassed because I had invited friends and told them it was great....not so. And the staff didn't even seem to care. They were getting off in an hour so pffft. I complained online and never heard from them. So DO NOT think you're going to get any kind of good table service.
