It's a no-brainer to head over to San Mateo's Ravioli House when you're in the mood for ravioli, spaghetti, or lasagna, but regulars at this popular eatery point out that the kitchen serves up a lot more than pasta. In fact, The Ravioli House does pretty brisk business as a popular deli, too.

Stop by during your lunch break for a roast beef sandwich with all the fixings and a side of kettle-cooked chips, or go for the kitchen's special pulled pork sandwich, which is slow-smoked in a Texas-style cooker. Pastrami, turkey, and ham round out the most popular deli options. Finally, keep in mind that The Ravioli House is also happy to cater its entire menu, so next time you need to feed a crowd, you can simply order up a dozen sandwiches, a pan of lobster ravioli, or a pot of slow-cooked bolognese sauce. Insider tip: an easy online ordering system makes it easy to place your order on the web without having to wait in line.
