What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Eastside Market Italian Deli began in 1929 as a retail meat market opened by Puglia-born Domenic Pontrelli, according to the Los Angeles Conservancy, before evolving into the Italian deli that occupies 1014 Alpine Street in Los Angeles today. The Angiuli family purchased the market in 1974, and the Conservancy notes the deli marked its 90th anniversary in 2019 under Anthony, Rocco, and Vito Angiuli. A Yelp listing for the business, now operating as Eastside Italian Deli, was updated in September 2026 and records more than 1,400 reviews. The location originally matched to this record by an automated places lookup, Rocco's Italian Market and Deli on North Vermont Avenue, is a separate, unrelated business; that mismatch has been corrected here using the Alpine Street address confirmed by the Los Angeles Conservancy.
