What makes it special: A modern Italian deli where overstuffed chicken cutlet sandwiches and wraps are the main event.
Who should go: Sandwich obsessives who don’t mind a mostly takeout setup.
When to visit: Midday or early evening to avoid peak delivery rush.
What to order: The Spicy P, Crispy Chicken Caesar Wrap, and Classic Italian.
Insider tip: Order ahead online—walk-up lines can stack up around lunch on sunny days.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on and around Santa Monica Blvd is your main option; meters turn over often but can be tight during peak lunch hours.
Dress code: Ultra casual—athleisure, jeans, and walk-up errand attire are the norm.
Noise level: Low—it's primarily takeout with limited seating, so conversation isn't an issue.
Weekend wait: Not applicable—Ggiata typically closes before traditional dinner hours; late afternoon can see short queues.
Weekday lunch: 10–20 minutes during peak rush, especially for walk-up orders; mobile orders move faster.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—options like eggplant, pesto, and salads offer solid choices.
Vegan options: Limited—most proteins and dressings are dairy-based, but a few salads can be modified.
Gluten-free options: Some salads and bowls are GF-friendly, but sandwiches and wraps are not; no dedicated gluten-free bread.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you’re planning a casual, low-stakes meetup. It’s counter-service with limited seating, better suited for a quick bite than a sit-down date.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—reservations aren’t used here. Seating is limited and first-come, first-served, but most people take their food to-go.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for quick meals—there’s nothing formal, but the menu is approachable for older kids who like chicken sandwiches; limited seating may be tough with strollers.
Best For
Better for: Oversized, East Coast–leaning chicken cutlet sandwiches and wraps that hit harder than most fast-casual delis in the area.
Skip if: You want a full-service meal, lots of seating, or extensive vegetarian/vegan options—this is primarily a takeout-focused chicken cutlet shop.
