Sneakers & Sandwiches: A Father‑Son Tale of Style and Flavor
Lou Chambrone and his son Dominic are turning Santa Rosa into a canvas of craftsmanship—one sandwich and sneaker at a time.
Café Vibes, Deli Soul
Lou runs Canevari’s Deli, but for him, it’s more than “just a deli.” It’s a café, a catering hub, a place of Southern Italian–inspired comfort that he curates with a distinctive twist. As Lou puts it: > “It’s not authentic…it’s me, Lou…it’s the way I like things to taste.” (ktvu.com)
Shoes Fit for Icons
Meanwhile, Dominic—known as “The Shoe Surgeon”—crafts high-end custom sneakers and apparel from L.A. His creations are coveted, with pieces made for stars like LeBron, Drake, and Kanye—and rumors of a staggering $4 million sale on the horizon. (ktvu.com)
Roots That Run Deep
Despite their high-flying pursuits, Lou and Dominic are firmly anchored in Santa Rosa. Lou recalls raising his family here, and Dominic reflects on the inspiration he found in his hometown. (ktvu.com)
A Story About Passion
Their story isn’t about fame—it’s about passion, legacy, and creativity. From the comfort food behind the deli counter to the artistry of bespoke sneakers, their collaboration (even if playful in spirit) is built on authenticity and love.
