    Mafioso Sandwich,  Sandwich, Goodfella Sandwitch
    Bethany L.

    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

    The Goodfella Sandwitch
    Keith Y.

    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.

    The Petto di Pollo Sandwich ($18)

    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.

    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.

    Catching a quick bite
    Sushil P.

    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.

    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.

    The Speciale Sandwich
    Amanda M.

    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!

    The Caprese Sandwich
    Sriharsha A.

    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.

    The Veneziano Sandwich
    Lisa T.

    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.

    milanese sandwich, lots of meat!
    Chloe C.

    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.

    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.

    The Veggie Sandwich
    Courtney L.

    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.

    Siciliano Sandwich and Goodfella Sandwitch
    Kyra K.

    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.

I did not touch any merchandise and only looked at the wall of drinks. I was inside for a short time and thanked the staff as I exited. As soon as I stepped outside, I could hear staff speaking about me. When I responded, the situation escalated quickly. Two individuals approached me and began yelling aggressively, repeatedly calling me a "thief" and using other hostile language, despite the fact that I had not taken anything. One individual came very close to my face and pointed at me, while the second moved toward me and my dog in a way that felt threatening. During the interaction, my business card was thrown to the ground and kicked toward the curb. The situation became intense enough that I experienced a physical stress response and had to call 911. Emergency services responded, and the incident is documented with a police CAD report. I also have video of the interaction. After emergency services arrived, the individuals returned inside and closed the store shutters. This experience felt completely disproportionate to the situation. Based on this interaction, I would not feel comfortable returning.
