One of the last of the true Italian Delis that are fading from The City . Fantastic Italian market with made to order sandwiches and other great eats. Pick your fresh roll from the bin and be patient!

Lloyd Hanebury

The Molinari Special is awesome and was my go to companion. Unfortunately, for the Molinari Special , it has been relegated to the back seat. Now it is the Luciano Special that is riding shotgun!!!!

Noah Weiss

The best value sandwich in SF . $10 for the Molinari Special with half a dozen delicious Italian meats layered high enough two people could split one.

Jen R

In addition to being a truly authentic Italian deli with hundreds of imported Italian products , Molinari makes some of the best sandwiches in San Francisco. I love the South Beach Special .

J John

The absolute best traditional sub sandwiches ???? in the SF Bay Area. The Molinari special is the perfect sub for first time visitors. Incredibly tasty Italian bread ???? A+++++

There's not enough words to express how amazing molinari's is. Amazing sandwiches , old fashioned flare, great service. Make sure you pick up sausages and parmigiano reggiano to take home with sandwich

Vernon Baas

Great sandwiches for lunch but don't forget the lasagna dinners in the back freezer!

Alexandra Kenin

Amazing Italian market and deli . I bought focaccia and some specialty cheeses to make a delicious pizza at home. The staff was super helpful and friendly .

There is no better Italian deli in town than Molinari. The best sandwiches feature ample piles of Molinari salami . Try their North Beach Special. Read more

An old fashioned deli with jolly Italian staff . It gets crowded , and can take awhile, but their sandwiches hit the spot. Grab a number, and spark a conversation with the guy next to you in line .

J John

The eggplant parm is the best sandwich here. Simple yet filling & full of flavor. Make sure you get it with the Calabrian chili spread

Saadullah Saeed

Good selection of Italian groceries . I usually come here for the dop tomatoes , lady fingers and pasta . Really old sandwiches too

Maybs M

Get a number, then grab your choice of bread from the bin to hand over when your number is called. I suggest the Molinari Special with mozzarella .

Michelin Travel & Lifestyle

Locals have been shopping here for house-made pastas , cured meats , Italian groceries , and imported cheeses for over a century. Sandwiches are great for a picnic . - Green Guide Editor

Eric Castro

The North Beach Special is improved with the basil-garlic spread. It's worth the wait

Oonagh Wynne

Great sandwiches in a very authentic deli . Good veggie sandwich but maybe a bit oily for me.

Sarah Strehler

Fantastic authentic Italian sandwiches , sides and desserts . Stock up, hit Coit Liquor , and go picnic in Washington Square!

Ashley Mowrey

They ignore you if you don't have a ticket. People in north beach love this place, but anyone else from another neighborhood knows that there are places with way better cheese and meat selections.

Hector Aldana

The North Beach Sandwhich so fresh. Ah Little Italy deli .. the drinks from Italy rock..

Josh Adams

Grab an old school Italian sub on a fresh baked roll and maybe a pack of hand made ravioli + sauce for later

Chris Edwards

The best Italian meats + the best Italian cheeses + the best Italian breads = the best Italian sandwiches .

Eric Shine

Great fresh quality sandwiches where you can even pick your own bread . Would recommend!

Molinari Special (with everything) is the way to go.

Turkey basil special is the BEST! Order on focaccia and press on panini press!
