About Genova Delicatessen

Genova traces its roots to an Italian deli opened in Oakland's Temescal district in 1926; the DeVincenzi family opened this Trancas Street store in 1985, and it is now the last Genova still operating. It's an old-school Italian counter for big combo sandwiches, cold cuts, cheese, ravioli and sauces.

  • Family-run Italian deli with roots in 1926 Oakland
  • Napa store opened 1985 and is the last Genova left
  • Sandwiches around $13 (2023)
  • On Trancas St in north Napa, on the way up-valley from downtown

This downtown riverfront park is the most convenient patch of grass for a quick takeout lunch between Main Street tasting rooms. It's a lawn-and-steps spot with river views, not a table-and-grill park, and drinking there is not allowed.
