Order 4 1lb dry salami on a Saturday and received it UPS on a Tuesday. Fast and Efficient. Definitely would recommend. And the Salami is just the right size to cut and eat while watching a game. Gotta visit the store next. Thank You. read more

Molinari & Sons Salame Co - Salami and cheese. - Meat Shops Near Me - San Francisco, California

Nothing better than some molinari sausage! Old-school Italian deli highly recommended!

I grew up a North Beach San Franciscan baby so I grew up eating Molinari with my Salesian Catholic church. Salami is God tier, definitely the best I've eaten, although I've never gone to Italy. Their salami has a great garlic taste, so vampires beware. Their entrance is a little hard to find and not too obvious. It's on 2350 Ingalls in a nondescript door, and the door was even locked on me once (had to flag a wandering worker outside to open it for us). Service is as cold as the fridges the cured meats are kept in, which isn't too cold but hey. You should have a general idea of what you want before you go in, because you won't be given a tour or anything fancy. It's just a dude at the window asking you what you want. Good thing I took a picture of the brochure for you all. Cash only and you must pay by the lb. Prices are a bit lower than retail/their website. You cut your own salami. Don't eat the rind. They make for really good Christmas presents, etc. especially for people who love eating meat. I didn't really like the hot salame - it didn't have much flavor other than the chili peppers that were in it. I'll be on an eventual mission to try all of their cured meats, though. But definitely get the Italian dry salame when you come here! read more

See all

The best dry Salame made period and I have tried all of them. The Salame has a very different flavor and taste depending on the thickness. I decided to buy a meat slicer a long time ago, that way you can buy a whole Salame and slice it yourself. read more

the worse customer service EVER I was shorted on my order sent 5 e-mails with NO REPLY read more

Best Salami Ever!! I am 77 years old and have grown up with this salami. There's no other salami that pass my lips but Molinari. One taste and your hooked. read more

Bought this salami from Costco. The price was great (thanks Costco) but the salami wasn't as mind-blowing as what I was expecting from these reviews. read more

It's helpful to call in your orders in advance 2 days prior for sweet or spicy Italian sausage. They carry many types of sausages here and also dry cured meats. They are typically out to lunch between 12-12:30 pm. Make sure you pick up before 2pm. read more

Love this. Place when I have company from out-of-state, I always bring him to the salam factory.

Their website is extremely helpful. Lots of detail in the product description and some good options on sizes of the products. For folks who cannot get to SF to buy their products or live in a area of the country where Italian Salame is virtually unknown, their website ordering system is perfect. The shipping costs are fair, but only if you buy a reasonably large order. The shipment is fast. read more

I can't say enough about Molinari & Sons! It feels like walking into an old school shop in Italy (or New York)! The Italian sandwich was probably the best I've ever had! And the customer service was fantastic. The young man was courteous and very helpful. Suggesting other specialties such as the homemade tortellini and sauce. It's completely out of the way for us to get there, but I will drive across town again soon for that sandwich and service! read more

The best of the best.Don't waste your time going anywhere else.Everything is top quality and if you want some delicious hot Italian sausage you have to call and order over the phone and pick up two days later.Their hot Salami is out of this world.I could go on and on.This place is a San Francisco institution .Open to the public from 9:00 am till 2:00.Monday through Friday.They might be closed for lunch from 12:00 pm till 12:30 read more

I visited this week. The factory is still open to the public. The entrance is at 2350 Ingalls, around the corner from the published address. Look for the "Shipping & Receiving - Will Call" signage above the door. They're open from 8am-2pm M-F, but they are closed from Noon-12:30pm for lunch. Cash only! The store carries all of the items that you see on their mail order website, but prices are at least 20% less than on the site. Plus, you know you're getting the freshest supply. Awesome. read more

It's all about the salami. Perfectly prepped meat with a proper drying process. The king of hard salami. Love

I have been buying the 18" salami at Costco for some time. The meat quality is excellent, but on the last occasion, I found the salami so covered in groves parallel to the long dimension that an inordinate amount of time was consumed just to expose edible meat. The surface of the salami should be smooth enough to make simple peeling of the cover possible. With this one, it was necessary to scrape all of the paper off with a knife, parallel to the long axis and to dig the paper out of the grooves. Looks to me like a quality control issue. read more

OMG this place is good... The only thing i brought on my epic 5 day motorcycle adventure was a 3 pound salami club...and did it ever make the trip go in style. I fear all my friends who still think I am vegetarian will find it that I broke my 5 year escape from meat to be entranced with this stuff..but seriously...i have some in my office..some in my house..and some stored in a compartment on my bike..You know..just in case... read more

As someone that goes to an old school butcher on a regular basis, I have a high appreciation for those that still practice the traditional meat arts. Molinari is a prime example of that in Italian form. Dry, cooked, & raw sausages spiced and cured into flavorful tube form. What's not to like here? pepperoni rewlz. read more

ABSOLUTELY awesome. My family and my In-laws have shopped here for many years. A tradition we enjoy. ALWAYS fresh and so, so good. In store is best if you can get to them because delivery is expensive. It's Worth the drive. Buy as much as you can afford or carry. *They are Great gifts. *Downside: No parking available. You won't regret it. read more

This place is the best.. everything is soooo good. My husbands whole family has gotten their meat from here. It's been awhile since we've been here, I really miss the quality. read more

I guess factory is now closed. Like everything else, anything good is discontinued or in this case closed down. Guess they've called it quits! It will be missed. read more

I love their salami as i used to buy them from a local store but has closed down 2. Weeks ago and haven't been able to find it anywhere else so i came to San Francisco for the day and figured id stop by to buy some unfortunately they were closed even though the gentleman on the phone Friday when i called assured me they'd be open till 3pm i arrived at 1pm not a soul in sight smh what a waste of time gotta start looking for another salami provider read more

This place honestly has the best hot coppa ever.

I LOVE MOLINARI SALAME!! You can ring the door bell, tell them what you want and walk out the door with the best salame in San Francisco! For an Italian, it doesn't get any better. read more

I've been eating their Italian Dry Salame for the past few days. OMG this is the BEST that I've ever had. It's well worth the price! Good thing that I ordered two... read more

These salami are the best. I buy a load of salamis from these guys every year and i'm always happy with the product

It's old school quality, the best. If you like Salame, Sausage, or any of the products they carry, it's the only place to go. Being raised by Italian grandparents, whenever I eat Molinari products, I get that little flashback from the 60's, when I was a kid and my grandparents were alive. read more

I am posting this as a super fan of your sopressa. We live way in northern Michigan very north, and we buy whole sausage from our local deli that gets your sausage through their distributer. I cannot say enough of how delicious this sausage is. read more

My Grandpa and our family have been going here for decades...A legend this place is for the quality of all there goods..

By far, the best salami in California and perhaps the USA. I had better salami in Italy, but that's pretty far away. Love Molinari!

This place has great salame. They are my favorite in the U.S. However, this company has the shittiest customer service and website I have ever encountered. They proudly show in pictures and state in text that their salame comes wrapped in a paper/mold wrapper. When it arrives at your home it does not. I buy from them because they do not use plastic wrappers, but one never knows what they'll get with this company. The website is atrocious. Very disorganized. Poor/hard to understand layout with limited descriptions. To add insult to injury, customer service via email is non-existant. After fucking up my order, I sent two emails over a ten day period. That was a month ago. Still haven't heard a thing. So...to sum up Molinari's, they have delicious salame. It's really good. Their customer service and website are an example of poor planning, terrible design and how to ignore your customers. read more
