We’ve lived in L.A. for almost 5 yrs and since moving here, visiting all of the nostalgia has been on my bucket list, especially restaurants. During Covid and while binging This Is Us, the episode where Rebecca was telling Kevin about she and Jack’s road trip to L.A. when they tried to find Joni Mitchell’s house and visited Art’s Deli on Ventura Blvd, bells went off bc I remembered passing Art’s hundreds of times since we live in Studio City. Well today was the day! I had pastrami on rye w/sweet potato fries and my husband had the corn beef sandwich....OMG so good and so filling!! Honestly, our lunch was pricey...we usually don’t pay that much unless there’s wine & spirits involved, however, we both left stuffed and with doggy bags so dinner is already taken care of. . On an extra special note, a super nice lady came to our table to make sure everything was to our liking and then introduced herself as Sandy, widow of THE Art of Art’s Deli. She was so lovely, I wished I’d brought my resume with me bc I’d actually love to work for her as a personal asst or estate mgr. Seriously, it was a delightful experience and I will highly recommend Art’s Diner to everyone!!
Great service and a good old fashioned American breakfast..endless coffee..I had a fruit salad and a jam and cream cheese bagel..gorgeous
Art’s Deli is a local institution. Art is gone but the deli lives on and recently celebrated its 62nd birthday. . . The food is what you would expect for a delicatessen. Tasty corn beef, lovely matzoh ball soup, and surprisingly good coleslaw to name a few.. . The prices however are on the spendy side. I had a beer with the half sandwich and a cup of soup combo which set me back 30 bucks. On the positive side, the portions were beyond adequate and I even had leftovers to take home. . . If you don’t mind paying a premium for the ambience an experience of a traditional deli (of which there aren’t many left in the area) then visit Art’s and enjoy the fare.
I had my first sandwich from Art’s Delicatessen more than 50 years ago and they are still my all time favorite deli. Today I live 40 miles away but whenever I’m in Studio City, I always make a point to stop by and enjoy a delicious work of Art!
Tried this place whilst on holiday with my family, best chicken soup and corned beef sandwich I have tasted in a while. Also very friendly happy waitress and lovely owner - family run old school restaurant.. worth a visit
