So, here’s a 64-year-old guy, Paul Nunneri, who has owned one of the most popular Italian delis in the San Fernando Valley for 40 years — Cavaretta’s over in Canoga Park — and he hasn’t put on more than 10 pounds since high school.

If I owned the place, I’d be Jabba the Hutt by now. Between his mother’s cannoli, his homemade meatballs, and his Italian subs, forget about it. You’re putting on a few pounds with a smile on your face. We had dinner the other night to talk about his business and family. Paul had a salad.
