Santa Fe Importers - Seal Beach

Authentic Italian food, reasonably priced for the quality! My husband was raving about his cold sandwich. My pasta with sausage was pretty amazing. I know good Italian I grew up eating it. My grandma, aunts and mom taught me how to cook it. I'll be coming here more often!

MEATBALL MONDAY FOR LIFE!Okay, but for real. This spot isn 't nearly as maze like and charming as the OG West Long Beach location my family has come to know and love, but it definitely works. Especially if you 're hungry for some meatballs. Came here with the family and we ordered three sandwiches:MEATBALL: I can 't help but write it in all caps, but this is text on the internet and I want to add the dramatic *emphasis*, they 're so tasty. Like for real, one of the best meatball sandwiches I have found locally. My teenager loves it. My toddler loves it. I love it. It 's just saucy, soggy bready meatbally goodness (with cheese . So simple. So delicious. You cannot go wrong. If this meatball sandwich had its own Yelp page, you know it would have five stars. Italian Beef: Long story short, my husband and I have been on what seems like a neverending hunt for the best Italian beef sandwich in southern California. Of the several contenders, this one is pretty good. Generous amount of juicy shredded beef, au jus that soaks the bread. My husband remarked that while it isn 't as authentic as he would hope (his words, not mine , it was delicious. Wish it would have come with some more giardiniera. Special Sandwich: This one was PACKED with deli meats and Swiss(? cheese. Like I ordered a large so it was double meat, and I kid you not there was A LOT of meat. It also had a healthy helping of chopped lettuce, sliced tomatoes, thinly sliced onion, mustard, and mayo. Kind of on the plain side, but not bad by any means. Maybe it was an off day, but the bread seemed a bit dry (maybe it was just because it wasn 't soaking in au jus or tomato sauce . Service was just fine, it seemed pretty quiet and low key in there. I 'm sure I will be back....for Meatball Monday.

Has the Italian Deli appearance and smell (good ones). Lunch Italian sandwich with salami, provolone, peppers, on an Italian roll really good. Shared some salads readily available, (pasta salad etc) very good. Nice clean tables, very clean. Had a lot left over they wrapped up to go for us. We need more places like this in Los Alamitos

Great Italian spot on the west side that serves sandwiches hot pasta dishes for lunch from $10 $12. They also have daily specials. Today I had the manicotti with a meatball. It was fresh great depth of flavor. This place also has an associated store with many authentic Italian items. Definitely good quality at a good value.

The best sandwiches around!! Oh my goodness. And their signature dressing that is drizzled on the sandwiches are to die for. Consistently excellent service and product. They have cases of foods that you can take home to for warm up later. My favorite deli hands down.
