Limoncello

Early January 2026 Authentic Italian deli and general store that serves both cold and warm meals and handmade sandwiches 🥪 😋 👌 as well as serves other food provisions, while offering a wide range of regional products. Tucked in one of the streets near Van Ness is a more than 10 year establishment with a varied and well displayed set menu deli combining fresh and well choice cuts of meats. The adjoining store offers the visitors ample alternatives for gourmet and European products including the alcohol. Sandwiches and pizzas are served in generous and well balanced portions. Desserts 🍨 🥧 🍦are also available at the goods section. We were fortunate to share a few moments with the kind owner while waiting for our order. The service was quick and our takeaways were well packaged. The interiors and displays are reminiscent of European delis. Bright, colorful, tasteful, and beautifully stocked. The elevated deli with a small counter provides a wonderful perched to wait or enjoy your meal. Al fresco tables also outside can be used during fair weather. Much care and attention is evident in how much the establishment has been maintained which is a gem 💎 of a place ✨️ within its neighborhood Ideal for quick bites, takeaways and very small groups or dates. All around the general store is also a great place to shop for supplies and provisions.

I saw that people claimed that Limoncello were serving up the best sandwiches in SF. I’m a sucker for a good sandwich, so I had to give it a try while I was up in the area. The shop is pretty cute. Has a nice Italian deli vibe to it. Cured meats and stuff hanging and all that good stuff. I have to admit, the menu was a bit overwhelming, and some of the sandwiches seemed very similar in description. So, it was a bit of a challenge narrowing down what I wanted. That said, the sandwiches I tried ended up being quite good. The best I’ve ever eaten? Probably not, but the best I’ve had in SF? Quite possibly, yes. One downside was that they don’t have sourdough bread as a sandwich roll option. Kind of a disappointment for a sandwich shop in the bay. Still, I’d definitely go out of my way to have it again. Highly recommend.

Was exploring Union Square area when I found this cute, not-so-little Italian Bakery. I had 2 hours to kill before my dinner so dived in for a quick bite here. The menu had good selection of s'wiches, Pastas (pre-made) and some Salad. I went for their no.17 (Grilled Chicken sandwich). Came out fairly quick and was good though I wish it had a bit more flavor to it. It's a good little mini-mart of Italian food products - perfect if you're craving Italian & want to grab a quick meal.

Great sandwiches! The portions are huge and the ingredients are high-quality. The prices are very reasonable, and I think it’s a great value for the money. The sides in the sandwich are very flavorful, and there’s a generous amount of meat. However, the bread is on the firmer side, so you might want to consider that if you prefer soft bread. The shop is well-organized, and the staff are all very enthusiastic. Definitely worth a second visit!

Best sandwich I’ve had in a whileeee. Everything about it was perfection. Bread was perfectly baked, ingredients were fresh and SO flavorful!! And I had a lemon blueberry cheesecake slice for my sweet treat. Soo yummy.
