Inside Tagliaferri's Delicatessen
Tagliaferri's Delicatessen sits right on Grant Avenue in Novato, serving as a longtime neighborhood staple for anyone looking to satisfy a craving for authentic Italian deli fare. It’s the kind of place where people swing by during lunch breaks or pick up something quick but substantial for dinner. The vibe inside feels practical and straightforward, with a clean, airy setting that reflects the care they put into their ingredients.
The menu focuses heavily on classic Italian-style sandwiches. The meatball sandwich stands out, alongside other hearty options like Italian sausage, chicken parmigiana, and hot pastrami. Freshness is noticeable from the first bite; these are not your typical deli sandwiches but ones handcrafted with quality meats and cheeses. Those who spend time browsing the market section find a variety of imported items—pasta, oils, and specialty goods—that add a touch of “Little Italy” to Novato's quieter Main Street scene.
Tagliaferri’s draws a mix of locals: longtime regulars who appreciate the consistent quality and the family-owned atmosphere, as well as newcomers discovering its wide variety of cured meats and cheeses. Many come expecting solid lunchtime sandwiches but also leave curious to explore the deli’s pantry staples and imported groceries. The space has a no-fuss, old-school deli feel, enhanced by quick and friendly service that fits well with busy weekday afternoons or weekend errands.
If you’re after a deli experience that balances convenience with authenticity—and where the salami, soppressata, and provolone really matter—Tagliaferri’s is a steady presence in downtown Novato. Whether you're grabbing a meatball sub to go or picking up specialty pasta and oils, it’s a spot grounded firmly in the local community’s Italian culinary tradition.
