Absolute best sandwich in San Francisco. Comfy couches, relaxing vibe, wonderful service.
I just had one of the best sandwiches of my life at Limoncello. David was working behind the counter and really made sure it was exactly what I wanted and even suggested to add some Calabrian chili peppers which brought it to a new level. I feel lucky to have such an amazing sandwich shop / Italian deli in the neighborhood... especially since Lucca closed a few years ago. Please shop here so they'll stick around for a long time.
Absolutely delicious sandwiches to say the least. I wanted something quick and easy close to where I was staying. After a short brisk walk, I stumbled into this deli-like atmosphere, which also kind of doubles as a lounge. I got the El Especiale, and the flavors definitely popped. It was a nice savory bite eat time with the cheese and deli meat. The vinegar also complemented the sandwich well. Definitely a filling sandwich and really distinguishes it from franchise sandwich restaurants. Give this place a shot!
Terrific little hidden gem. In a super fun and colorful block of 24th street in the mission, surrounded by some amazing restaurants (got to do a review of La Vac Birria) and fun little dive bars to watch the 49ers play. Went in on a whim to check out the Italian products and the first thing that struck me was how meticulously cared for the place was. The food in the display case looked awesome, the sandwiches were made with care and the shelves had some of the best Italian imports I've seen in SF. Definitely plan on coming back to hang out in the little Persian wine bar at the back of the deli too..
Limoncello is a nice little Italian deli with great sandwiches. The interior is nice, walk past the counter and there is a little bar and lounge with a patio outside. Lots of different seating locations and a nice comfortable vibe to the place. My coworker and I ordered a couple sandwiches. She got the Alpino sandwich (turkey) and I ordered the Goodfella sandwich (italian style roast beef). The sandwiches were huge, so I ate half then and took the rest to go. What I liked most is the flavors in the sandwich like basil that gave it a nice flavor. I noticed that they sold good beer on tap, like Russian River's Pliney de Elder and a Pilsner. They also had lots of wine, sparkling and other drinks available. They have grab and go salads, sandwiches and sides if you are in a hurry. I was really tempted to grab a container of olives, but already full. Service was great and the place just feels like a nice little spot to hang out for a happy hour or with friends.
Came here for the first time last Friday and had a great experience! I was looking for a good sandwich for dinner but didn't want to have to take it to go or eat outside. Once I realized they had seating and a wine bar I was sold! I got The Siciliano Sandwich along with a charcuterie board. WOW are the ingredients incredible quality here, every element of the sandwich along with items on the charcuterie were 12/10. Next time I come back I'll definitely plan for another charcuterie board and a few drinks!
Came here with a pal to work remotely and the back lounge area is adorable, quaint, and so charming. There's an outlet and wifi and bathroom and bar all you could want. Ordered the limoncello marscapone cake and was happy with it, lemony and fluffy and not too sweet. The macaroni salad did not disappoint I loved how vinegary it was and it tasted very fresh. The employees were so kind and accommodating and the owner was chatty and friendly checking in on us to see if we needed anything. The quiet 1940s music playing was also a nice touch. Will be coming back for coffee and drinks:)
Great little hidden gem filled with amazing Italian products, prepackaged salads, pre-made deli items, and freshly prepared sandwiches. The pistachio cake was incredible! They only serve beer and wine along with coffee and Italian sparkling sodas. There is bar seating and couches with coffee tables as well as a patio which I'm not sure is for customer use. They also sell coffee syrups and fresh pasta! Will definitely be back, the staff was so friendly too.
My bf and I love Italian food, especially Italian sandwhich shops. This one has sandwiches, and a grocery store! They also have a kind and friendly staff. We ended up buying 2 sandwhiches and 1 cannoli. Then, we ate our lunches at the stools. Nice indoor and outdoor window seating. We couldn't finish the sandwiches, so we packed up and took it with us.
