It was a nice little deli. Sandwiches were amazing. A bit pricey but worth it. Also I really liked the Xmas decorations read more

Lucchesi's Delicatessen - Delis Near Me - Petaluma, California

Great sandwiches. I stopped in around noon on a Friday and the place was packed. They had at least 12 orders ahead of me and a line of people holding open the door. I still got my food in under 10 mins. They are very efficient. I got a peppered turkey sando on Dutch crunch with all the veggies. They make bomb sandwiches. They also had a great selection of chips and drinks too read more

Favorite sandwich shop in all of Petaluma. Every time I come to Sonoma County, I make it a point to swing by and grab a sandwich. The service is consistently great and fast. They have a great mix of hot and cold sandwiches. The best part is their selection of fresh bread to choose from; soft, sweet, Dutch crunch, baguette, and hard sourdough. read more

Really good itallian sandwich and its pretty big for the cheap prices. Old school lookin shop. read more

Lucchesi's Delicatessen - Delis Near Me - Petaluma, California

Good sandwiches aren't hard to make. This is the best sandwich place near work so I come here for lunch when I'm feeling sandwichy. Well... actually when my office mate is feeling sandwichy since I rarely CRAVE a sandwich. He craves them though. Good bread, meat, cheese, toppings, etc. They were nice when I forgot to ask for cheese on my sandwich and gave it to me on the side with no complaints. Lots of drink choices here. My lord I think they would have closed if I hadn't been prodded with a cattle iron. Also lots of chips choices but a lot of them are the regular sized bags. Makes you feel like the Half Ton Man when you walk out with a big soda, full bag of chips and a sandwich the size of your arm. Pretend you're on a call when you arrive and say... 'Sure, I'll pick up your lunch. I'm at the deli now. No worries.' Then people will think you're only going to eat half of that. The other plus... If you eat here you can go to COLD STONE after!!!!!!!!!!!!! YUMMMMMMM! ICE CREAM. (tangent - sorry) Anyways, all in all you can't really go wrong here. (things i can't judge - mustard and pickles. no idea if they are good here or not because I think they are both YUCKY ALWAYS!!! Rumor has it a sandwich isn't a good sandwich without good mustard.) read more

Went sailing on Fleet Week with some sweet people who were kind enough to bring us some vegan wraps from this place. They were so delicious I had to leave this review. Thanks Juliet and Ray :) read more

Food poisoning - breakfast sandwich. I had a bacon and egg breakfast sandwich 6 days ago, and an hour later I was curled up, and vomiting for the next 10 hours, and am just now starting to shit right. I called them the next day, no answer, so I left a message. No call back - no class. I have eaten here plenty of times before as I work in Petaluma, and I've always enjoyed the food. But this time was not cool, and I would definitely recommend you stay away from the breakfast sandwich. I was talking with a friend yesterday who told me that it was probably the eggs as Lucchesi's doesn't make a fresh egg for you, they microwave an egg that has been sitting in a Tupperware container for who knows how long. I wasn't going to write this review because I figured I would have received a call back from Lucchesi's. Like I said, I've eaten here plenty of times and really like the food, but there is clearly some negligence going on both with the food preparation, and with the customer service. read more

Say it with me now, "on a baguette please".... I'm not joking when I say I would come here, pay the full price for a sandwich and just eat the bread, plain. It's flipping ahhhh-mazing. Soft, warm, flakey, sourdough baked goodness exploding with sensations of awesomeness in my mouth. That is how it can best be described in words..... although it really doesn't do it justice. I usually go with the traditional turkey sando with the regular fixins, but if your feelin' extra frisky, the tri-tip sando is a serious orgasm in your mouth. Best Deli in Petaluma in my book, hands down. read more

It pains me as a Petaluman to grade a once-great sandwich shop so poorly but alas, the time has come to bring down the hammer. I used to come here every day for lunch period during high school when the sandwiches came out, neat, clean and perfectly made, even during a rush but I've noticed a rapid slip downhill. The past handful of times I've gone I have received my usual sandwich on delicious bread with avocado and mustard splattered all across the brown flaky crust. There was more avocado on the outside of the sandwich than on the inside because two bites in, there seemed to be an avocado shortage. The quality of ingredients has dramatically declined although the bread is still as fantastic as ever and the quality of service has declined as well. I miss Luchessi and their delicious sandwiches, maybe one day they will be great again. But by that time they will have raised their prices again :/ read more

Amazing sandwich's and instead of chips I like to get the pesto tortellini pasta. Don't be shocked by a line that are super busy during lunch time, but they make the sandwiches fast. The owner Paul give amazing customer service as well!!! This is my favorite deli in town. I would have posted a picture of my sandwich but I couldn't wait to eat! read more

As much as I love their sandwiches particularly the American gamer...it drives me out of my mind that they basically leave their damn phone off the hook on Sundays! No sandwich is that good! I bet Mr. pickles WILL ANSWER!!! read more

I am very happy to see that Lucchesi' s now gives free pickles. I am even more then happy, yet not surprised, that Lucchesi's cares for their customers as much as they do. In a world where Money talks it is hard to find a company, any company, that will change to oblige to customers request. Especially a request that will do so at cost of $. This shows a lot more then the willingness to sacrifice a few pickles. It gives me, personally, a piece of mind. I 'll pay the extra few dollars a week for this type of customer care and I'll do so with a smile on my face! THANK YOU LUCCHESI'S AND YOU WILL SEE ME IN HERE MORE OFTEN. FOR SURE! read more

The smell walking in was fantastic. Felt a little rushed through the ordering process. And seemed almost looked down upon for not knowing their menu of the top of my head. The sandwich was awesome! The potato salad however wasnt tasted like cream cheese. More than likely to stop in again for just a sandwich. read more

Lucchesi's...Lucchesi's...What more can I say. First off, order the baguette people...you wont be let down. Fresh baked bread will make even the most mundane of fillings seem all the better...but there is nothing MUNDANE about Lucchesi's. They have the single best sandwiches around...I've had sando's that eff w/these, but from a consistency standpoint...you get the goods EVERY time at Lucchesi's... Turkey, Bacon, Avocado...MY personal fave. Meatballs (close second), and the Italian Sub (ham, salami, mortadella). 5 Stars is too little for my favorite deli on earth...and true story, I was in Vegas wearing a 3rd St. Ale Works hoody (downtown Santa Rosa brewpub), and a guy came up to me out of the Vegas crowds and began to tell me about the best sandwich he ever tried, as it turns out...he was talking about Lucchesi's right in sunny Petaluma. read more

Wow, it's nice to finally have a Togos back in southern Sonoma County :) I was really sad when that place closed in Petaluma a couple years ago... ...That's what this place tastes like anyway. But who the hell charges extra for pickles? read more

Quick Tip (7/18/2011): Grilled chicken sandwich on Dutch crunch w/ Swiss cheese :) I'll admit it...I crave the grilled chicken sandwich from this place from time to time. I don't know what it is exactly that makes that sandwich delicious, but it is. The good thing is we go to the North Bay often enough that we can stop by this sandwich spot :) It's in a grocery store shopping plaza close to Panda Express and right next door to Coldstone Ice Creamery, so if you ever feel like dessert after a delicious sandwich (which by the way are quite filling), then this is a perfect spot for food. I say it's #2 on my sandwich list. #1 - Little Lucca's :) read more

I love this place the food is just so dang good and the prices are not bad for what you get. I wish they would give me their new bead recipe. read more

It's 2020 and there were No vegan options at all, very disappointing. If this deli offered vegan options it would open their doors to another group of people. read more

Really really really really good fresh sandwiches. I've always been satisfied when I've come here.

This place has quickly become a pitstop whenever I drive up to Sonoma, which is often since my mom lives up there. The turkey, cranberry sandwich with sage stuffing is out of this world. They warm the stuffing, which is key. If you're looking for a good sando in an unlikely location, this is the spot for you. read more

Every other sandwich shop (Besides Michael's Sourdough) pales in comparison to Lucchesi's. I've been going here since I was a wee sprout, and it's probably to blame for how large and roly-poly I was in appearance as a child. They put horseradish on the sandwiches! It's so incredible. Maybe you don't like horseradish, and in that case you can still enjoy the fresh and delicious sourdough baguettes. The bacon, turkey, avocado sandwich is so good I am salivating thinking about it. The bacon is that perfect juicy, thick, crispy bacon that a girl might have naughty dreams about. And the turkey's not bad either ;) Plus, if you come all the time they'll remember you, remember your order, and ask about your family. It's an all around great place. read more

This is definitely a great sandwich place. They also have a wide variety of soups and salads. Perfect for lunch! I ordered a roast beef sandwich on sourdough baguette (not a roll). The baguette is slightly more narrow than a standard sourdough roll. The bread is very crisp and fresh - and it stays crisp for quite some time. The meat was also very fresh - as in you can actually taste it. I came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was quite busy. There are a few tables inside and outside - it's mostly a "to go" kind of place. The longest line was the one for the person to take our order. Once our order was placed, the sandwich was made quickly. $5.99 starting price for most meat sandwiches and it goes up from there. read more

I must stop here every time I'm in Petaluma. Excellent sandwiches and service. The sourdough bread and fresh turkey sandwich is a must!!

It's not everyday that you find a Deli that makes you think, "wow, I HAVE to come back next time I'm in town". Well Lucchesis did just that for ever since I discovered it when I made the big move from my comfort zone of So Cal to Sonoma a few years back. It's been five years since that first time and every time I pass through Petaluma I think of only 2 spots and one of them is Lucchesis Deli. The sandwiches are out of this world delicious, they let you create your own with a just a few questions from the cashier who was very nice little blonde girl. I ordered a black forest ham on "dutch crunch" with everything but onions and added avocado. Needless to say it was pretty darn tasty, just typing this is making me want to go back and try one of the other meats. All in all it's a nice clean deli with nice people and fantastic sandwiches. Can't go wrong here folks. read more

I tried to visit this joint with the kiddos but it was packed! Line was practically out the door and since I'm not about waiting for food, I chose to try again some other day. We had a craving for a deli sandwich yesterday afternoon and I remembered this spot so we came in literally 5 min before they closed (we didn't know), and they were pleasant and happy to serve us. The BLT was my sandwich of choice and it was tasty! My fella got the pastrami and loved it. We will be back for sure. Looking forward to trying some of there other menu items! read more

Support this local independently-owned deli....great hot roast beef sandwiche with peppers....their oil and vinegar mix did not disappoint...fresh good bread selection, cheese and meats all well put together with the nicest server.... read more

Despite the great reviews we are underwhelmed with our 2 experiences here... the sandwiches are fine, just fine... not great, but the minimum of what I would expect from a deli. The 4 different sandos we have tried were all kind of bland and didn't register in my book as a "must re-order and/or come back again" experience. The service was fast, and seemed to be decent/ above avg quality but it is missing that "flavor" that makes a place a 4+ star experience especially for the North Bay where great lunch food is everywhere... read more

I go here pretty often for lunch because it's right down the street from my office but I have to give them 3 stars... They are a little pricey and sometimes not that pleasant behind the counter. Over all they have good food so I will always go back! read more

Really yummy Italian! Will come back 100% add a little olive salad and it would almost taste like a Muffuletta.

Best sandwhich in Petaluma, hands-down. Unfortuantely, this isnt saying much. They bake at least some of the bread in little ovens on-site, which really helps them miss some the of quality they could get from a local bakery. Though the bread isnt as good as it could be, it is very good. The drink and chip selections are great and service is fast. They don't always get orders right, and tend to be reluctant to make good on incorrect orders after the fact. read more

It's really a shame because I used to love this place. I was always greeted with a smile and the sandwiches here were always extra delicious giving the impression that they were made with care and consideration to the end product. I haven't been here in a while, maybe they changed ownership. I noticed that the woman at the cash register was not the normal woman I was used to seeing. (Previously it was a petite slender older woman who wore glasses, she was always very nice.) The service & price... I got there right after the lunch rush as there was only one customer in the place who had already ordered and was waiting for their food. Soon as I walked in the cashier (blonde) scooted over to take my order right as the customer came to the counter. I could tell she was doing both tasks but she didn't seem happy, quite the opposite. She also seemed a bit irritated at the way I ordered my sandwich. I barely got a chance to sit down and my order was called. Wow that was fast! I added a couple impulse purchases to the transaction (rice crispy treats). She tells me it was $17. I didn't enter a pin, or sign a receipt as I recalled I used to in the past. She asks me for a receipt and I said yes please. Still no pleasantries back from this woman. Not sure if she was having a bad day or tired or just shouldn't be in customer service position, either way I got my card and receipt and walked out. By the time I hit the door there was 3 others coming in the place. I get outside and realize the receipt she gave me was just the credit card one not the actual receipt with the breakdown. So I go back in and the sandwich order taker is back and now I have to wait to tell the grumpy cashier she didn't give me my receipt like I asked. Finally get her attention, because she isn't very attentive, and she tells me good thing it's still here I usually throw them away. It was only one transaction before Lady?!? What gives?!? No apologies, no pleasantries, just blah. Realize the reason for the huge price for one sando was because the treats were $3 ea and they tagged my sando as a hot one because I ordered bacon? Everything else was cold!?! And the treats weren't even priced clearly in or near the basket. Geez. The food... So I open up the sandwich and take a massive bite, the middle has guacamole & I taste a little bit of bacon. The rest of the sando had lil to none of them again until I got to one bite that was a huge curly piece of bacon. I'm starting to realize why it was ready so fast. It was basically slapped together and the portions were not spread around properly or even existent at all. Overall... $17 for a couple treats and a sandwich is way too much money. Imagine if I got a drink and chips. Geez. Service was very poor, I felt grumpy after my experience. The quality was not what it used to be, poor execution and not many of the extras that I actually paid for. I won't be back and I'll make sure everyone I told before that the quality has gone bye bye like my business. Blah read more

Awesome sandwiches, love that they come with lots of condiments including sprouts which you can't find everywhere. They have fresh cooked turkey for pregnant mamas which I would take over standard lunch meat any day. So so good! Lots of great fresh bread choices and side salads too! Yummy! read more

Lucchesi's Delicatessen - Adorable baby onesie! Extra bonus it's SF Giants colors! - Delis Near Me - Petaluma, California

I've been here a few times but the last time really impressed me. I love that they open nice and early so I can beat the crowds. I also LOVE that they put sprouts on their sandwiches. Ugh, I can't stop thinking about how delicious and fresh my last sandwich was from here. I'll definitely be coming in any time I need a sandwich fix! read more

Quintessential fix to a mad sando craving. In simpler less ebonik terms - this place has one of the best sandwiches in the Bay Area (North, South, East) hands down. They bake their own baguette fresh on the spot daily - crunchy outside and soft inside, but not too much bread for your sandwich. They have great meats (love the fresh chicken breast or pork) and this magical addictive juice they put on all sandwiches unless you ask otherwise - concoction of oil, vinegar, oregano, horseradish and magic. Honestly though, too many people/places over engineer things - food included. Their sandwiches are simple, fresh and freakin great. One of these will fix you right up, no matter how dismal your day seems. read more

It's all that and a bag of chips. No, seriously. Parking is a bit tight as they're located in a strip mall inside a larger Safeway shopping center, especially during lunch. As far as deli's go, this place uses high quality ingredients and is pretty fast in putting your sandwich together. All the extra accouterments such as drinks, desserts and yes, chips offer a good selection. They're super friendly and seem to enjoy making delicious sandwich's. The only ding I would say is the list of ingredients and proprietary sandwich choices is a bit limited. I guess they're going for a quality over quantity thing, which is fine. I'd just like to see more selection like they have at Mr. Pickle about a mile away. read more

I've been going here for years and absolutely love it. The sandwiches are great! And if you feel like having a little cheat meal, grab a brownie, they're sooo gooood. They also make the Pueblo Del Sol salsa which my whole family loves. One of the two best deli's in Petaluma! read more

I used to go all the time when I lived in Petaluma, went back today for the first time in awhile, still just as good! I recommend this place for a deli sandwich read more

Hands down BEST sammie in Sonoma or Marin County. The fresh bread and lightening fast service (even at their busiest!) is amazing. The have lots of choices for fixings on your sammie, as well as many sides (fruit, chips, candy, pasta, etc.). I think they may also have every soda and tea known to man. They loose the 5th star for price - they do charge extra for odd things like pickles and it's an overall expensive place. $20 yesterday for 2 sandwiches, 2 beverages and an egg. Yet worth every penny. read more

This is my favorite sandwich place. Ever. I grew up in Petaluma, so every time I come back for a visit, I ALWAYS get a Lucchesi's sandwich. Why? * The sandwiches are especially wonderful; I love that I can get a sandwich on wheat baguettes. * Their drink selection is RIDICULOUS. And by ridiculous, I mean ridiculously AMAZING. I almost always get a different drink every time I go. Sodas, teas, juices, energy drinks, chocolate milk, you name it. * The people are lovely. Now, the only thing is you need to know what you want and how you want it. If you're like me and you only want certain things on your sandwich (instead of everything), it's easier to just list what you want instead of what you don't want. Also, there aren't a lot of places to sit, so it's better to get "to go" if there's no place to sit outside. It's a local business I'm more than happy to support and will continue to do so for years to come. read more

Most authentic Italian Delicatessen in San Francisco. Place has been around for decades, back when SF was Ellis Island West. HIGHLY recommended. Tell them what you want, and they'll make it happen. I wanted to make pizzas at home with my family one night, and they hooked me up with the best cheeses, meats, sauces and garnishes to throw on there. Also, the raviolis are highly recommended. No sauce needed, just butter, salt and olive oil. read more
