Eagle Rock Italian Bakery

Los Angeles


The Carfachia family has been running this old-school Italian deli for over 40 years, and everyone from local matriarchs to laborers and hipsters hit the place for its hulking lunchtime sandwiches. Mamma of them all is the Italian Combo, a fleshy fantasy of salami, ham, mortadella and capocollo (pork cold cut) encased in the bakery's oven-fresh bread.

It's a grab-and-go place, with no seating and a $10 minimum for credit cards.
