Lovi's Delicatessen: Your Premier Destination for American Breakfast & Brunch in Calabasas

LIFE IS BETTER WITH FRIENDS! Sunday afternoons have spent with good friends eating great food, since, The Villain announced our upcoming divorce. I have best support group ever! They’ve been introducing me to some great restaurants! So far, Lovi’s is my favorite! Huge variety, delicious food and fabulous service!!! My favorite is the Chopped Italian Salad! I also have tried their chicken salad sandwich that is stacked high with the tastiest chicken salad! Thank you Lovi’s for helping me heal my heart!

We were in California for five nights and ended up eating at Lovies four of those nights — that should tell you everything right there! The matzo ball soup is absolutely incredible, the turkey and stuffing made us feel like we were having Thanksgiving dinner at home, and the corned beef and cabbage was one of the best we’ve ever had. Our nine-year-old wanted pancakes and loved them so much he ordered them twice! The service was just as amazing as the food — friendly, warm, and genuine. The whole place gives off that small-town, everyone-knows-your-name kind of feeling. By the end of the trip, we felt like locals. As Arizona real estate agents who spend a lot of time in both states (we’re The Grandon Group — Arizona’s #1 brother-and-sister real estate team), we know a good neighborhood hangout when we see one. Lovies is definitely that spot in Calabasas — comfort food, great people, and an atmosphere that makes you want to come back again and again.

I met a friend here for lunch. It's a large, bright, clean restaurant with super friendly staff. They have an extensive menu with lots of deli items and comfort foods. I had the chicken noodle soup and a side of latkes, my friend had the half and half with a half a turkey sandwich and soup. The chicken soup comes with a choice of noodles or rice. It was fresh tasting, not too salty and had plenty of chicken. Unfortunately, my latkes were overcooked, dry and hard - I didn't eat them beyond tasting and was very disappointed. My friend's Turkey sandwich half was stacked. It had lots of Turkey and fresh veggies - it's the kind you have to smash to get into your mouth - much like you'd get in New York - it looked delicious! She also enjoyed her soup. Their bakery is impressive - I grabbed two cookies, a Snickerdoodle and a Shortbread with sprinkles. Both were fresh and not too sweet which is just how I like them. I will definitely go back again and I may even give the latkes another shot - I have a feeling this was a one off error.
