    :) Quaint shop with yummy sandwiches! They're on the smaller side, so I would definitely grab some additional snacks while you're visiting. Bread was soft and the cold cuts were high quality.

    Everyday Cheese Sandwich

    A quaint little shop that focuses on wine, cheese, meats and fancy little snacks. However, they also have a rotating daily sandwich if you want to grab something more substantive for lunch. Most sandwiches are pretty high quality; can rival places that specialize in sandwiches. Italian Cold Cuts Sandwich: It was like bunch of wispy thinly sliced ham. Loved the texture and the slightly salty taste. Some really good creamy mustard dressing countering the saltiness. The bread was firm and hearty. Overall, filling and satisfying. Pastrami Sandwich: The pastrami was sliced extremely thin, like deli ham, as opposed to hot thick slices you might find at a carvery (e.g. Tommy's Joynt). The pastrami was also mildly flavored, not emanating the heavy spice aromas you sometimes find. Additionally, the bread was the same firm roll that seems to be used on all the other sandwiches, instead of a softer rye. So with all that in consideration, it felt more like a ham & cheese sandwich than a pastrami sandwich. However, one nice perk was the homemade Russian dressing which seemed to have large slices of pickle in it; that was fun. Everyday Cheese Sandwich: Kinda like if you'd be eating bread and cheese and fig jam from a charcuterie board, but assembled all at once in sandwich form with a little bitter arugula thrown on to contrast the rich cheese. It's simple, but quite enjoyable. Mt. Tam triple creme is really an indulgently creamy cheese.

    Delicious sandwich lowkey neighborhood vibes. I will definitely be back. Very cute local wine shop with a few goodies (crackers, chocolates, toffees). Perfect stop before a day out at the park near by!

    Little Vine is a newer sandwich shop in North Beach. I had a prosciutto sandwich when I went to North Beach for Jack Hirschman's memorial. The guy went to Michigan. Good sandwiches premade. Italian style.

    MUST STOP - Worth making this the cornerstone of your day and jumping off point in North Beach. What a wonderful little shop. They have everything you need for a picnic, or even a full blown dinner as casual or fancy as you would like. From fresh cut steak and meats, to pasta sauce, cheese, pasta, wine, chocolate, pickles, they have it all and have done a wonderful job procuring only the best items. It is as if everything they have in there is exactly what you are looking for. SANDWICHES - They make some of the best sandwiches in the city. I have made an effort to try places that are consistently ranked highly or are neighborhood favorites, and LV is without a doubt one of the best I have had. I randomly tried one when I was in the area and now make it a point to get them frequently. Incredible! The people are also wonderful. Very welcoming, appreciative, helpful and knowledgeable. This is a gem in North Beach and one of the best in San Francisco.

    Spicy turkey. Thurs special.

    Wednesday: prosciutto & cheese.  Today the cheese is mascarpone.

    Little Vine is a gourmand's dream. I don't think they could possibly fit anything else in here. The shelves are chock full of epicurean delights. I think I counted 4 different kinds of honey alone. If you want to stock your kitchen w goods that you'll never find at the likes of any Safeway, this is the place for you. Salami, cheese, crackers, olives, mustards, jams, nuts, sweets... Absolutely everything you need to make a stellar picnic or meal. Maybe you want a sandwich. They'll take care of that. Acme bread is in the house. Nothing but the best. And they carry one of my favorite things, nduja. Props. Don't forget the wine. A nice bottle of red that won't break the bank? You've got several to choose from. A perfect specialty store. 5 stars.

They curate a fantastic selection of cheeses and can answer any questions and guide you to the right one for your taste. But it's the sandwiches they get us coming back again and again. My wife exclusively gets the Havardi & Avocado sandwich and I usually get the Cajun Turkey. They are both especially good sandwiches. The staff is freindly and helpful when you want to tweak an ingredient or two. But after many years of tweaks we've learned that they make the sandwiches right as-is. They are just perfect with the balance of ingredients as they come. Also, note the place is small and gets busy. You may have to wait a bit for your sandwich, but it is well worth the wait. They do not have any seating, except a bench out front on the street. But you can take the sandwich to Golden Gate Park, under a 10Min walk away, or to Finnegans Wake to get a drink and enjoy the sandwich in their backyard or at one of the many tables inside.

In researching places near where we were staying, we learned about the Italian deli and shop. We were looking forward to stopping by to check out the store and grab lunch. The store itself is very cute and charming, full of so many items - fresh meats and cheeses, imported olive oils, pastas, desserts, wine, and liquor to name a few. There is an area where you can get coffee drinks and there is a deli area for ordering sandwiches, pizzas, specialty dishes, and salads. The variety of options is plentiful. I ordered an iced coffee beverage, which was great. My significant other and I ordered a sandwich to go, which we were splitting for a light lunch back at the hotel. The person helping at the counter was not very friendly or helpful with questions. We asked for our sandwich to be made on the Dutch Crunch bread, as we were looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately, when we got back to the hotel, it turned out that the sandwich was made on a regular ciabatta roll, which was not fresh. Additionally, the sandwich was mostly mixed greens. For the price, I expected more meat. With so many great food options in San Francisco, it is likely we won't stop by on future visits to the City.

    Not Your Average Italian Market -- And That's the Point!…read moreAlimentari Aurora is one of those places that has a personality all its own, and after speaking with the owner, Dario, I completely understand why. This isn't your typical polished, cookie-cutter specialty food shop. It's eclectic, a little unconventional, and full of character. There's a cool techno-meets-rock energy running through the place, and you can tell that everything, from the products on the shelves to the overall atmosphere, reflects the man behind it. I had the opportunity to chat with Dario, and what a character! He's passionate, refreshingly unfiltered, and clearly doing something he genuinely loves. There's a certain confidence about him that makes you feel like he didn't create this place to please everybody. He created it because it's exactly what he wants it to be. And I absolutely love that. The selection of specialty Italian foods, cheeses, meats, and interesting little finds makes browsing part of the experience. It's the kind of shop where you discover things you didn't know you needed, and every corner has something worth exploring. What really makes Alimentari Aurora special, though, is its authenticity. It doesn't feel manufactured or designed by a marketing team trying to create a trendy neighborhood destination. It feels personal, unapologetically original, and just a little rebellious. San Francisco needs more independent businesses like this, where the owner's individuality is part of the experience. Come for the food, stay for the vibe, and if you get a chance, strike up a conversation with Dario. He's as memorable as his shop. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you appreciate places that have a little attitude and a whole lot of personality!

I won't say much about the food, just that there is a reason I want to come back for more. Fresh, delicious ingredients. Carefully thought out and brought together for great combinations. Truly curated experience is how I would put it. I really like this shop.
