Giugnis Deli

The 20 Best Restaurants In St. Helena - St. Helena - The Infatuation

"If you’re in need of a sandwich, this St. Helena institution is where you want to be. Giugni’s is every bit the old-timey country store you’d expect in a small town, with shelves filled with classic candies, a couple of tables, and a very busy takeout operation. There are no fancy designer sandwiches here: it’s a build-your-own situation with an extensive list of meats, cheeses, and add-ons. The only mandatory move is the tangy Giugni Juice, (a secret sauce with herbs and a red wine vinegar base) with a cult following that gets poured liberally on top of every sandwich—although we prefer it on the side to avoid them getting soggy, especially if we’re taking them on the road." - christina julian

Where To Eat & Drink On Your Napa Road Trip - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Sandwiches are the name of the game at Giugni’s, a small takeout-only deli in St. Helena that’s been around for almost 20 years. You can customize your sandwich with things like honey smoked turkey or pastrami - just be sure to get an extra side of Giugni Juice, an herby, olive oil-based dressing that you should pour all over your sandwich. Order ahead if you’re on a tight schedule as the lunch rush line can get long." - julia chen 1

"This Italian deli has been serving build-your-own sandwiches since the 1970s. Pick your bread base (we recommend the dutch crunch roll), and then take your pick from the endless meat, cheese, and fixings choice, including “Giugni juice”, the deli’s famous homemade balsamic vinaigrette, which we suggest adding to anything and everything you order. Arrive before 11am or call ahead to order, as the line can be long, and remember to bring cash. Photo @whatgraceeats"
