Open since 1949, Eagle Rock Italian Bakery & Deli is a Northeast LA landmark where you can stop by for fresh baked bread, imported giardiniera, and other assorted Italian goods. But if you arrive at this to-go only spot with an appetite, go for the Italian combo sandwich. Stacked with a variety of cured meats and cheese, lettuce and tomato, this sub will easily keep you full until dinner – even if you get the small $7 version. Whatever you do, don’t walk out the door without a box of cannolis. Crunchy and tart with the precise amount of chill to them, these will absolutely be eaten at a red light on the way home.
This neighborhood staple has been around for more than 40 years, and is known for its made-to-order cannoli and tantalizing rum cakes. Leave with a bag of Pasticiotti and Italian pastries and you won’t be disappointed, or drop by around lunchtime and pick up a cold-cut combo—the sandwiches have just as many fans as the pastries here. There’s also a market section where you can pick up olive oil, pasta sauce or pizza dough for your own Italian culinary endeavors. But note: As there’s no seating, all food here is to-go, and there’s a $10 mininum for credit cards.
