Ggiata Delicatessen

The Best Restaurants In East Hollywood - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Ggiata might be a new kid on the block by Italian deli standards, but the reason we love this Melrose Hill sandwich spot is that its menu is thoroughly old-school. There are sandwiches filled with things like chicken cutlets drenched in vodka sauce, meatball parmesan, and tangy grilled balsamic chicken with roasted red peppers. Though there are a few traditional cold cuts to be had, most of Ggiata’s sandwiches are like Italian suppers on bread. The bright space at Melrose and Western is mainly a to-go operation—there’s little in the way of seating—but before you grab your sandwiches and head out, spend a moment at their dessert case for a perfectly moist olive oil cake or a box of rainbow cookies." - brant cox, cathy park
