We ordered the Rompiballe Pizza and we loved it. Served hot and ready to devour. The meatballs were so tender and delicious. It's a must order! read more

Limoncello - Rompiballe Pizza - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

Terrible customer service. I only get 30 minutes for lunch, and I wasted a big part of it standing at the counter here trying to order a sandwich. I stood there for about 10 minutes without a single employee acknowledging me. No "hello," no "we'll be right with you," nothing. I was simply ignored. When someone has a limited lunch break, 10 minutes is a significant amount of time to waste just waiting to be recognized. I finally had to leave without even ordering. Extremely frustrating and disappointing experience at Limoncello in San Francisco. read more

staff are not the most friendly or helpful, unfortunately ): and also didn't offer their alternative bread options up front - make sure to specify you want something other than ciabatta. there's 5 staff standing around and only one working on multiple sandwiches, so the wait was longer than expected. sandwiches themselves taste good but are more expensive, longer wait, and service isn't as great as other options in SF read more

Limoncello - Mafioso Sandwich, Sandwich, Goodfella Sandwitch - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

my friends and I stopped by for sandwiches at limoncello after seeing all the rave about it online. there were so many options and we were also excited to see the deli was actually part of a larger italian grocery store and grabbed some italian sodas too! we were a bit disappointed by the sandwiches themselves- for $18, we felt that the proportions were a bit off. it still tasted great and ingredients were high quality, but there was a monstrous amount of meat and lettuce so it was hard to get any of the other flavors. the portions were huge though, which is a plus. overall, the store was very cute, clean, and seemed like it stocked authentic italian ingredients. the service was pretty quick since we just ordered at the counter, and they are all very friendly. read more

The sandwich filling was tasty. Was a good blend of salty and spicy. I was given a choice and chose the Dutch bread but it was very stale. Other than that, it was a decent sandwich. The service was fast, considering there were about 6 people ahead of us. They had three people working efficiently. read more

Limoncello - The Goodfella Sandwitch - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

This little corner store/deli is filled with Italian treats! The sandwiches are delicious and they offer a large variety of fresh vegetables and meat. I only wish the cost was a little more affordable. The staff are friendly and will answer questions about the food. There's not a lot of indoor seating, but if it's nice outside, you can grab a table on the sidewalk. read more

Whoever heard of a sandwich shop++ with a five star rating?! now that you have learned about this distinctive business, you have learned about one. The sandwiches are memorable. Plus while you're there, you might find some Packaged product in the front of the store to buy and take home. read more

3.5 stars Ah. The satisfaction of a great sandwich. Your choice of protein, mixed greens, a slather of mustard, hint of vinegar. Some crunchy banana peppers. Tomatoes. My grilled chicken breast hinted of a lemon peels and garlic. In a Dutch crunch was pretty good. I finish my sandwich because I was very hungry. I still can't believe the $18 price tag... My friend and I called for to go order. Their porchetta sandwich is also good! I do love what this little deli is trying to offer when its specialty items some of it are hard to find. I've spied my fave gourmet Potato chip brand here (hello Torres!) and I like that. For the hefty price tag, I was expecting a more stuffed Sammy. read more

Limoncello - The Petto di Pollo Sandwich ($18) - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

Was exploring Union Square area when I found this cute, not-so-little Italian Deli-Mart I had 2 hours to kill before my dinner so dived in for a quick bite here. The menu had good selection of s'wiches, Pastas (pre-made) and some Salad. I went for their no.17 (Grilled Chicken sandwich). Came out fairly quick and was good though I wish it had a bit more flavor to it. It's a nice establishment of Italian food products - perfect if you're craving Italian & want to grab a quick meal. read more

My boyfriend and I had been craving a good sandwich and this definitely hit the spot! He ordered a meatball sub and I ordered The Speciale. First, these sandwiches are pretty big, so definitely come hungry. The bread was thick and soft, and I really liked my particular combination of meat, fresh mozzarella and briny olive / pepperoncini combination; the toppings felt proportional and the sandwich held together well (things weren't falling out and the bread didn't get soggy). I thought the prices were reasonable for what we got. Lastly, we really enjoyed sitting outside on the sidewalk. However, I'd definitely come back again to grab sandwiches to-go before heading to a nearby park or something! read more

Limoncello - The Speciale Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

I saw that people claimed that Limoncello were serving up the best sandwiches in SF. I'm a sucker for a good sandwich, so I had to give it a try while I was up in the area. The shop is pretty cute. Has a nice Italian deli vibe to it. Cured meats and stuff hanging and all that good stuff. I have to admit, the menu was a bit overwhelming, and some of the sandwiches seemed very similar in description. So, it was a bit of a challenge narrowing down what I wanted. That said, the sandwiches I tried ended up being quite good. The best I've ever eaten? Probably not, but the best I've had in SF? Quite possibly, yes. One downside was that they don't have sourdough bread as a sandwich roll option. Kind of a disappointment for a sandwich shop in the bay. Still, I'd definitely go out of my way to have it again. Highly recommend. read more

Came here to grab a quick lunch to go and ended up really liking this spot. The space has small grocery section and a deli counter. Definitely the kind of place locals stop by regularly rather than a one time visit. I got the caprese sandwich but made it spicy. The bread was crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. All the ingredients tasted fresh, and the spice added a ton without overwhelming the classic caprese flavors. Because it's part grocery store, the drink selection is way better than your typical place. The staff was also super friendly, they even gave my dog some meat! There's minimaI seating here, but I can easily see myself coming back here often for a quick to go meal. read more

My girlfriend and I stumbled upon this place during an eye appointment across the street. This place completely changed my view on how a sandwich should be made. These sandwiches are absolutely phenomenal and are some of the most tasty sandwiches I've ever had. I will never stop coming here. My first time ordering a sandwich, the employee allowed me to taste the meats. I didn't even ask to do that, he just said you should try it before you buy it, which I believe is great customer service. I've ordered multiple sandwiches now and not one of them has been bad. They do have a nice seating area to eat your sandwiches, but I usually get them to go. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. read more

food - ordered the milanese without cheese and balsamic vinegar. paid at the counter and sandwich was made fairly quickly! it felt like less than 5 minutes. sandwich came with LOTS of meat, they are not stingy! I don't think my bread was toasted but I wish it was by default (or maybe my fault for not mentioning it). Overall quality of meats were really good and flavorful. I think the ratio was a bit off for me because it had too much meat. sandwich is HUGE though it's definitely two meals for me Service - super quick and easy. paid at counter and it was so quick. ambiance - cute grocery shop with deli. read more

Somewhat disappointed with the food here given the expectations/reviews. We got the Veneziano on Dutch crunch. I can tell the ingredients were fresh, but it wasn't anything special. I'm not sure what the hype is/was. If I wasn't in the area, I definitely wouldn't make a special trip to try it. Service was ok. It was kind of slow. It's located in an upscale deli/liquor/grocery store. read more

There are two doors to this shop: the door on the hill leads to the deli where you can order meats, sandwiches, and premade food. The bottom door leads to their dry goods area with olive oils, pastas, sauces, beverages, etc. I came in for a sandwich since I heard great things about it. I got the Milanese Sandwich. The pastrami was good and the havarti cheese was good. I wish it had more pesto spread. I ate it at one of the bar like seating in the shop. There are also chairs and tables outside. read more

Everything was perfect! Service was fast and friendly, the store is clean, and my sandwich was filled with vibrant fresh veggies. It is the only place I have found a sandwich with eggplant, artichoke, and mushroom. The one change I would make, is to add cheese. It was delicious and I cant wait for another! Update: I went back for another and while it was still amazing, they left off the artichoke and I didn't realize until it was too late. . Hopefully it was a fluke. read more

Limoncello - The Veggie Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm a sucker for sandwiches, but Limoncello is more of a 3.5-star spot for me now. I used to love it, but lately it just hasn't been hitting the same. I'm not sure if it's the flavor or what, but it's no longer my go-to sandwich shop. I ordered my usual Cuban, and the balsamic vinegar and mustard were a bit overpowering. The portions are definitely generous (as they should be for a ~$20 sandwich), but it's disappointing that it doesn't come toasted. read more

Two thumbs! Companion has been wanting to take me out for a deli sandwich for quite some time. He has his list of spots in the city, Limoncello being one of them. We were able to finally go and I was quite content! What's fun about Limoncello is that it operates as an Italian market and a deli. The shop is on the corner and decently sized, with narrower walkways for the market and open space for the deli. Highly recommend perusing around the store since there's a lot of cool Italian goods! We came for the food and walked up the steps to the deli. You can see all of their meat displayed along with a menu on the wall boasting their sandwiches, salads, and other dishes. For those who get food, they have counter seating plus a few tables outdoors. Service by the staff was friendly and efficient. They're also dog-friendly inside, and the pup had fun sniffing around! I honestly don't eat deli meat often or crave an Italian sandwich, so this was a treat! I got the Siciliano Sandwich, Dutch Crunch, No Cheese and Pepperoncini. Companion had the Goodfella, Dutch Crunch, No Pepperoncini. They mixed up our sandwiches and didn't label them correctly so it took us a while to figure it out. Once we did we dug in and it was so good! The quality and freshness of the meat and veggies were superb! My companion commented that they loaded the greens up compared to other times he'd been there. The sandwiches themselves are massive and I only ate half of mine, so it's great to save for later! Limoncello has a few locations in the city, the Sutter Street one being their original. Highly recommend coming here to try their sandwiches or just walking around the shop. Parking around here is limited to street parking only. read more

Sandwich was great because they have Dutch crunch bread available, however, the food handling isn't, no gloves. There are three workers making foods and only one of them didn't have gloves on to make five sandwiches. read more

Wow! In a bit of a rush and was in need of something quick as take-out. Pleasantly surprised by the Mafioso. Amazing quality of freshcut meats and a very hefty sandwich. Ordered and walked out in the span of 10 min. Very italian deli with tiramisus and cannolis. Tons of italian snacks and puff pastries, and a convenient location to pickup anything from beers/wines to premade cannoli shells and gelato. One thing to note is you cannot customize the sandwich, not sure about the pizzas, which smelled delicious. They only make speciality sandwiches on their menu, but surely can't go wrong with any of the choices. They're packed with a sizeable amount of meat as well as greens. The half was enough to fill me up and they were kind enough to wrap them separately. read more

I genuinely do not understand how this deli could possibly have such positive reviews. I had placed my online order for a couple italian sandwiches around 3:30pm on a Sunday afternoon. The estimated pick up time was 4:03. I arrived at 4:00pm and asked if my order was ready to be picked up. The 4 workers let me know that they are working on it now. I would think that in addition to the original allotted time of 30min to prep the food from ordering to pick up, it would not be too long of a wait. However, I had to wait an additional 30min upon arriving because it turns out the workers did not even start on our order yet despite no other orders being prepped and no other customers inside the store. All four workers appeared to be casually standing and chatting until we had told them we were waiting on an order. To make matters worse, we had placed the order using the deli's online website (not uber eats, doordash, etc.) but their own site. On their website, they upcharged every item by $2-$3, in person we saw their menu prices were $16.95 but our order was around $19.65 a sandwich. This was such a disappointing experience to have to wait a literal 1 hour for a couple sandwiches with no customers/other online orders to fulfill. read more

Somewhat of a hidden gem for the deli's in SF. When I searched up "best deli's in San Francisco" this place barely even came up. I had the tuna salad sandwich and it was phenomenal. The service inside was great, especially being combined with a mini grocery store. Overall would definitely recommend if you're in the mood for an authentic deli sandwich. read more

Limoncello - Tuna Salad Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

One of the best top (definitely top 3) vegetarian sandwiches in the Bay Area/California. My partner had the Goodfella Sandwich with Roast Beef, Prosciutto, Salami, Provolone Cheese with Organic Mixed Greens, Tomato, Basil, Pepperoncini, Black Pepper, Olive Oil& Balsamic Vinegar. I always get the Veggie on ciabatta with extra roasted bell peppers, add havarti & cheddar, no mixed greens with balsamic vinegrette on the side. The latter two modifications are because the sandwiches are HUGE and I can only eat half at a time so this helps to keep the Veggie from getting soggy. Highly recommend this store with the Sutter location being the best imo. read more

It's an Italian market place with great selection of drinks, cooking ingredients, desserts, sweets, and deli shop. There is a coffee shop in the middle for coffee drinks and pastries. Deli shop makes great sandwiches, pizza and pastas. Great place for a quick bite and exotic shopping! There are limited indoor and few tables outdoor seating. Ambient is good for kids, seniors, small gathering. I'll stop by again for sure for Italian Mortadella sandwiches! read more

I always see people through the window when I'm walking by this place, thought I'd check it out for myself. I'm really glad I did! Ordering was easy, deli style. I got a Veneziano sandwich and the eggplant Parmesan which they warmed because I dined inside, but you can also order for takeout to heat at home. Sandwich was packed with toppings and the eggplant was hot and fresh. There's also a separate grocery section with tons of Italian goodies, and a cafe section which is probably open in the morning. The staff is super warm and friendly. read more

Soo good the owner was nice enough to let me order while someone else was ordering and went to go pick out drinks, very effective! I wish they had different kinds of mayo seemed like something you can get at grocery store. But the meat and bread is QUALITY! So much better than anything you can get at the grocery store. You can tell a lot of thought went into picking out their products for their store which I recommend shopping here since the products are better then grocery store. read more

I get my nails done a few doors down so I frequently stop in for a drink or sandwich depending on what I have going on that day. I love Italian sandwiches (who doesn't), so I've been working my way around their menu to find one I love. To be honest, some of them aren't for me but I recently had the Mafiosa and I think that will be my go to. Sandwich: I'd say there's a 50/50 chance they get the customizations right on my order. It's a shame I don't like tomatoes because they're looked beautiful, but the Mafiosa without mortadella hit the spot. This was my first meal of the day so I polished it off, but you could easily split one with a friend or save half for lager. Drink menu: They have a few wines and beers available for dining in. This time around I had the STS Pilsner which was good. My other go to is a sparkling wine. The service is no nonsense and the owner is friendly. They have a market of specialty goods that I always browse but haven't found a reason to buy yet. It's not inexpensive so the inconsistency at the counter is annoying, but it won't stop me from returning. read more

We were driving around the city and I asked my wife to look up something that has a ton of reviews. "I want to go to someplace that everyone goes to". Limoncello popped up on Yelp and I'm glad my wife called it out. You walk in and there is meat hanging from the ceiling and you know you're in a legit deli. Multiple people working behind the counter. BEST BLT I have EVER had! I'm not joking. It was PACKED with bacon that was high quality and the bread was strong enough to hold it all together. I asked for no Mayo because I'm weird and I believe they put olive oil on the bread which was a pro move. They also have Russian River beer on tap and in bottles. I'm in HEAVEN! Everyone working was friendly to top it all off. I now have another favorite place I need to visit every time I'm in SF. read more

Was craving a sandwich so my friend and I walked from Japantown to Limoncello because it was closest to where we were heading to next and it was the only sandwich shop that was still open around 5pm. I'm so glad I got to try this place as it was in my bookmarks when I used to live in sf very briefly. I got it to-go and ate it a couple hours later and it was still so delicious!!! The ratio of meat to greens was immaculate and all of the ingredients paired so well together. They do NOT skimp on making the sandwich big af. I ate half and was pretty satisfied. I also love how it's a deli/spirits store so you're able to buy additional snacks or wine! They even have a section for frozen/fridged fresh pasta noodles! If I'm ever back in SF and in the area, I'll be sure to come back as there was no wait!! read more

I've been here many times. Until yesterday, I always felt the service was lackluster and nonchalant. Not what I'd expect from an Italian themed establishment. But on Sunday afternoon the woman working the front espresso machine area was energetic, friendly and welcoming. It must be noted. Many traditional choices of Italian foods, goods and products as well as cannolis, Chou creams and deli options. The price isn't low so be aware. Definitely worth a stop to find some good stuff. read more

Let me start off with saying 1st timer here and when I walked in, everything caught my attention here. From the entrance, to the ambiance, for me it was very very welcoming! As we were looking thru the menu and couldn't figure out what we wanted, A nice man came out and helped us and suggested we try the The Alpino Sandwich and The Petti de Pollo sandwich; BOTH 10/10, the flavors were DELICIOUS!!
