Modica's Deli

In April of 2023, my videographer and I had finished at FormulaDrift where we filmed for a company called Torque Motorsport. After walking for 12+ hours, we wanted to find a quiet place to have dinner to celebrate our success. As we walked by this location, someone asked us to come in. We politely accepted and the rest was history. The owner, son, and staff were incredibly polite. They asked us about our history in motorsport, spent time talking through the menu, and then recommended their favorite dishes (which were delicious). Afterwards, we met a local resident who visited this restaurant frequently and knew the owners who had seen that I was cold and since a trip back to the hotel would end the night early, offered a spare jacked for me. I was blown away. The owners spent the night with us talking a bit about their racing history & support, their family involvement in racing, and laughed as we tried all sorts of different dishes. A larger group came a bit after us who were also very sweet (and new us from youtube) and it became just 1 big happy atmosphere. I promised this staff I would return in 2024 and I am hoping to do so for the Long Beach Grand Prix with Michelin. Either way, this review is 9 months late, but still well deserved!

Looking for something easy and quick. Asked the bell person at the Westin, he suggested Monica's. Had a ham and cheese panini, chips and a drink. Great to sit outside in the sunshine.

Great food with a beautiful parklet.

After getting the chicken Parmesan with pasta, I got food poisoning. It was not a pleasant experience at all so avoid at all costs.

The chai latte did not taste good, it was too milky and gross. The cappuccino was not very good and not well made. You can tell the cannolis and tiramisu are pre packaged. Mediocre. Disappointed for sure.

Food is fantastic, get a sandwich or dessert and an affagato, you won't regret it

I took a chance on the Sloppy Mo and it was delicious! I will be back when in the area.

“The sandwiches …. The sandwiches ! .

All the food, the atmosphere, the attention and the service were very delicious.
