Super friendly and fast service! Called to order a salad and it was ready 5 minutes later during their lunch rush. Ordered the Petto Di Pollo salad and the chicken is so flavorful and not dry at all. The balsamic is a great addition and all of the produce us super fresh and crisp. Now I know why all of my coworkers come here for lunch! read more

Limoncello - Petto Di Pollo - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

I was looking for a sandwich place, specifically Italian, but I didn't want to go out to North Beach since I was over at Japantown. I was looking on Yelp for anything close by and saw that Limoncello had a high rating and over 1k reviews. I ordered 2 sandwiches-Siciliano and Milanese. I also ordered a cannoli and Mascarpone cake. Honestly, I would rather have gone to some other sandwich shop, such as Ike's Sandwich or even Mr. Pickles. I wasn't impressed at all with the taste of the sandwiches-very average tasting! I was a little disappointed since I was hoping to taste something amazing. The desserts were great, though! read more

The best sandwich EVER!! I like to consider myself a sandwich connoisseur... (I legit have a story section on my Instagram dedicated to sandos) and this place is at the top of my list. The caprese sandwich with prosciutto was spot on, full of fresh ingredients and the perfect combo of flavors/textures. Yo girl likes to eat, and the size was plenty generous. Limoncello, you've won my heart P.s. I've attached a pic for your viewing pleasure read more

We've walked past Limoncello a number of times and finally made it in to fulfill a sandwich craving. Happy to report that our sandwiches (the Goodfella and the Speciale) really hit the spot! Sandwiches are able to be toasted upon request, and ours were toasted to a crunchy golden perfection and filled generously with fresh and high quality ingredients. I also thought that the two sandwiches had quite different flavor profiles (mine was quite a bit tangier, I think due to the pepperoncini, while my SO's was on the more savory side with more meat), so coming back to try some of their other offerings soon. read more

Love the sandwiches here! The staff and owner are super friendly and the service is great. It reminded me of the time when I lived in Italy. My favorite sandwich is the speciale and I replace the hot coppa with prosciutto. Highly recommend and if you're looking for the full experience, you can also grab the sandwiches to go and walk to Lafayette park which is a few blocks away for a picnic! read more

I think my expectations were high based on the glowing reviews. I got 2 sandwiches to split, one was good 4/5 but the other was really not fresh tasting 2/5 read more

Recently discovered this little gem. Finally a good Italian shop in the city runner by a lovely family. I love all the special imports from Italy hard to find them anywhere else from the truffle oils to the drinks to the products and the people. Loved it all. Order a sandwich from the deli grab some fresh meats and some Italian candies for a nice picnic. read more

Absolutely unbelievable. Mouthwatering and so much flavor in every single bite. So much so I came back the next day to try more and it didn't disappoint. If in town you have to try, best sandwich place in town. read more

If you ever want amazing Deli food when you are in SF this is the place. Their choices of breads and meat are amazing. I would order online/on the phone first because there is a bit of a wait if you decide to buy the food there. read more

Great sandwiches!! Nice Italian foods store. My son liked the meatball sub. Fresh ingredients and friendly people.

Limoncello is a deli with a specialty shop attached to it. I had the veggies sandwich with pesto, the beet salad, and a coconut water and happily ate outside. It was all delicious and generously portioned and I was happy! read more

Saw the perfect reviews here and decided to give a shot. People there were super nice - offered us some deli meat to try while we were waiting for our order. The store is beautiful and set up very clean and elegant. We got Siciliano Sandwich which was absolutely delicious. Will come back again! read more

Limoncello is a cute corner deli with fresh sandwiches! The owner Chris was very friendly and welcoming. It was our first time and he recommended the speciale, which was fresh and delicious. We also got the Cuban which was loaded with meat but was a bit too overwhelming for my tastebuds. Overall the sandwiches were yummy, and worth trying! read more

We placed a group order via doordash for our team lunch. It was particularly important that our names were well labelled as some people have dietary restrictions. Given how Doordash is not reliable when placing a group order, I called to ensure that the order was actually scheduled. They were still not seeing our scheduled order in their system, but promptly figured out. But they let me know one of the items that was listed on doordash is not available, and gave them what to replace with. I asked them multiple times to make sure to label with everyone's names as that was the most important part. On the day of delivery, I got a call and was told that their oven broke so they could not make a pizza and made something else instead. Im afraid if multiple people ordered pizza, could have been a nightmare. But the most frustrating part was that our orders were not labelled with our names and the handwriting was illegible, using abbreviations. It was a quite frustrating experience and we are still happy to order again but hope the could update their doordash menu and make sure everyone's names are written or at least indicate clearly what sandwich it is. read more

Customer service is awesome and authentic. It's insanely clean and the food is amazing. You aren't gonna find a better sandwich shop in sf.

Oh baby, help me, Jesus! I've been hooked since I came last week. I walked in and was instantly hit with the delicious aroma smell of the Italian MEAT! I couldn't help but come here after seeing all the raving reviews on Yelp. When I had seen the 5 stars on Yelp I told myself, "Damnn, what are they paying those Yelpers to write these entire 5-star reviews?" After trying them TWICE now, I have to admit, they're not paying us Yelpers any type of money! The hype here is REAL! They are making some slamming ass sandwiches here that would make anyone want to scream for joy. First and foremost, big thank you to the owner, Chris! Every time I come into the shop, he greets me with such positivity. It's usually a 2 man show here with Chris working the register/and making sandwiches and then another sandwich maker in the back. Try to avoid lunch hours as the waiting time can be delayed with many requests coming in. The best sandwiches to order are the Goodfella (Roast beef, prosciutto, salami, and provolone cheese with fresh tomato, basil, oil and vinegar, salt and pepper) and the Mafioso Sandwich (Prosciutto, turkey, mortadella, bacon with mixed greens, tomato, mayonnaise, salt and pepper, oil and vinegar). My top favorite is the Mafioso because that Mortadella meat is EVERYTHING, baybee! Yes, Yess, YESS! The prices of the sandwiches are reasonable considering the massive amount of toppings they add in there. You definitely have some for now and later! You can also purchase drinks, sides to your sandwich as well as their popular Cannoli! As for me, since this is a mile away from my job, I don't mind ONE BIT walking here to order me a sandwich because it is TOTALLY worth every step I take! The first impression is everything! And this place did everything they could to impress me! read more

THAT. SANDWICH. (The Calabrese) I will be dreaming of you until I'm next able to visit. This place has so many wonderful things to offer. Food to go, cannoli, gelato, Italian specialties, cheeses, wines and liquors. I wanted to buy everything! I will definitely come back and bring others to try. These people work their butts off and it shows. A lovely neighborhood spot! read more

The cutest Italian deli! It looks like a fun and trendy upleveled bodega with a bar! The sandwiches are very well sized; definitely enough for 2 meals. I got the eggplant parm and goodfella on ciabatta and they were so tasty! The cannolis were soft and filled perfectly. Great option for lunch or a picnic but also a fun week night dinner. They have a great drinks selection with cute aperol spritz to go bottles. Lucky to be in the neighborhood. read more

Great simple sandwiches if you're in the area or heading out to any of the beautiful parks steps away from here. We always walk by this place, especially on our way to Whole Foods and finally walked in to try it during Covid. Their small but cute outdoor set up was perfect on a rare sunny warm day to eat our sandwiches. Owners were sweet and Chris even came out to chat with us and check in on us after their rush. I also definitely recommend saving some room for their gelato, they had a variety of delicious flavors, and if you're not feeling a gelato, they also had a few flavors of Mitchell's ice cream and I got the yummy ube flavor! read more

A fresh neighborhood favorite and that gives the best delis in North Beach a run for their money. Newly remodeled and vastly expanded to include a sunlit seating area complete with Pliny on tap and a decadent menu. Add in a full wall of amazing liquors, boutique Italian grocery items, bulk antipasti, meats & cheeses to order and it's quite a great shop. With Whole Foods right down the street Limoncello is the obvious choice. Great dry cider, wine & craft beer selection to boot. Friendly family run local business. Come on a sunny day and have lunch outdoors, or in their sunlit deli! We keep a sandwich menu on our fridge at home. read more

Great and comprehensive new-ish Italian corner shop in LPH. Wide variety of grocery, drink, & deli items, as well as a couple of coffee espresso machines. Super friendly staff including the owner Chris and his wife. I had the Speciale sandwich and while all of the deli meats (prosciutto, salami, hot coppa) were very tasty & fresh, overall I was kind of underwhelmed with the sandwich, and the flavors didn't quite go well together (olive spread, other veggies, and a blandish white cheese). They also accidentally put mayo on the sandwich, which is the one food I don't eat, so I definitely try to avoid it (it wasn't listed as an ingredient so I thought I was fine). Chris was very generous and gave me a complimentary cannoli, and it was OUTSTANDING. Probably the best cannoli I've ever had. 10/10 recommend. Overall, I'll definitely be back because the shop is clean, fair-priced, and the service is top-notch and welcoming. Feels very authentic and genuine. read more

This was a spot we found through Yelp search. We just arrived into San Francisco on our road trip from San Diego and looking for a quick local place to grab a sandwich on the way to the hotel. The nice thing was that we could order ahead as we sat in Friday afternoon traffic and swing by and pick it up. As with many things in San Francisco there isn't a dedicated parking so you gotta snag the first spot you see. We parked and walked to pick up our sandwich mainly so we could stretch our legs and walk the dog. The menu is quite extensive but offers wonderful deli sandwiches. We were looking for something with Turkey. Even on the order ahead you could customize your sandwich. The sandwiches were a nice size and each of us only ate about half and then saved the other half for later. They also have different beverages available and seemed like an actual deli where you could get additional side items like potato salad and chips. Mark got the The Mafioso Sandwich Prosciutto, turkey, mortadella (Italian baloney with pistachio and peppercorn), crispy applewood smoked uncured bacon (nitrite-free) with organic mixed greens, pepperoncini, tomato, mayonnaise, black pepper, olive oil & balsamic vinegar and added pesto. I got the The Veneziano Sandwich Prosciutto Cotto, provolone cheese with organic mixed greens, tomato, pepperoncini, onion, dijon mustard, black pepper, olive oil & balsamic vinegar read more

The salad was delicious. Fresh ingredients, beautiful cut, looks as good as it tastes. The owner was so nice and friendly. He made sure our dressing was on the side so it didn't get soggy by the time we got home. He also asked about specific items to customize it to our liking. This place carries a wide range of healthy &?high quality food & snacks. read more

These sandwiches were amazing. Nuff said. I would highly recommend checking them out.

I was lead here by the excellent Yelp reviews. I really love the look and feel of this place. Everyone is so nice and friendly. I ordered the special sandwich, tasted great but didn't have anywhere near as much meat as I was expecting. However, the pasta we got was fabulous. I enjoyed that thoroughly. With enough meat I'd give the place 4stars. read more

I'm not a sandwich person. I repeat: I am not a sandwich person. With that said, Limoncello was our first stop on our trip to San Francisco , and what an amazing welcome! The owner was incredibly friendly, and since it was off-peak hours, we had some time to review the menu. There are so many options, so we ended up just going with the first two: the Goodfella and the Milanese. So good.. so fresh! The Milanese reminded me so much of an amazing sandwich that I had while in Turin a few months back and haven't been able to stop thinking about since coming back from Italy. Again, I'm not a big sandwich person, so it takes a lot for me to like a sandwich - much less write a review for one! The portions are very generous - one sandwich could easily feed two, but when the sandwich is this good, why share? read more

Good place. Big market on the inside with a ton of goods from Italy. Good sandwiches too with real Italian meats.

I was told to come here by former colleagues of mine! It's hands down one of the best Italian deli I've ever been to in San Francisco. The owner was so nice and welcoming. This store can't be miss since it's on a corner lot. I'm a fan and will make my way here with every visit to S.F. Thank you so much, Limoncello. You guys rock. read more

I got the mafioso sandwich and when I first opened it, I was a little skeptical about the amount of meat in the sandwich. However when I took my first bite, I was instantly proven wrong. Delicious cold cuts, fresh vegetables and tons of flavor. This has to be one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, Highly recommend! read more

Great sandwiches that remind me of my east coast youth. Great signature sandwiches with quality meats & ingredients.

Walked in this place and was instantly impressed! An ice cream parlor, liquor store, snacks, & a deli? It's a one stop shop! My husband and I were planning a picnic at the beach and stopped by Limoncello for some sandwiches and wow they were so good! We even got a bottle of wine to enjoy later as well. The customer service was great, food was tasty, and overall experience was 10/10. It was also very COVID-safe for being a smaller space. I will definitely be back to try other things on the menu! read more

I came back to try another sandwich today and it was just as good as the first, if not better. I got the Goodfella and I could just tell that all of the ingredients were high quality and fresh.
