The BLT -- no "A" since I'm not an avocado person -- was outstanding. Maybe returning to the office 3 days a week won't be a nightmare if I get to eat that sandwich on one of them. Oh, and I remember how much I loved the spaghetti and meatballs pre-pandemic -- my at-work lunch options are looking up! read more

Fast and courteous service with reasonable prices ($13.50 for large sandwiches), and good amount of both inside and outside seating. It was my first time here with a coworker and I was trying to decide between the grilled cheese and tuna melt for lunch, and I decided on the latter at my coworker's suggestion. Unfortunately the tuna melt was not toasted properly so the cheese wasn't melted, and it had too much Dijon mustard. So I wouldn't have the tuna melt again, but I will try the grilled cheese or another sandwich next time. We were there at closing time before the Christmas Eve/Day holidays so they were giving away big bags of bread at closing - thanks, Esposto's! read more

Not to be one of those people, and I will gladly change my review if the service changes as well. I was eyeing the spaghetti and meatballs photos on yelp and wanted to try it after my doctors appointment. I walk in and there l but one other person in the place. There is no line. No one eating. It's empty. The cashier girl is on her phone sitting on the counter. I go up to the counter and wait a little bit because maybe she's just finishing up. No word on hold up or anything. I say "hello" and nothing. Literally glued to her phone ignoring me. I immediately walked out. That's just straight up rude. Don't be a restaurant and have service like this it's awesome. - I will gladly come back when service is better. read more

Food - massive sandwiches for decent price - mission bay sandwich has a surplus of ingredients and they don't skimp out on the avocado - hot take, I do like this place more than Gus and Ike's sandwiches Service - ordered online, they have a pick up counter so no need to talk to anyone Ambiance - quick take out spot, there are places to sit but I see a lot of workers running by to pick up lunch and go read more

A group of us stopped here for a lunch break from work. The ordering process was pretty strait forward. Place and pay for your order, after which you'll be given a number on a stand for your table. I tend to prefer wait service, but I do like that they bring the food to the table. I ordered the San Franciscan Salad. I loved the fresh avocado and the salad was good to the last bite. Very tasty, indeed. Everyone else's food looked very good. There appeared to be no issues. A nice getaway from work with lots of options. read more

Esposto's Delicatezza - SAN FRANCISCAN SALAD - Delis Near Me - San Francisco, California

Decent food, clean restaurant, mixed service. Sometimes the cashier is friendly and helpful and sometimes they're rude with attitude & smart mouth comments. I only frequent here since it's close to work. If you have time, just head to sparks or to the eateries along 3rd read more

I found myself in the neighborhood and decided to stop in for lunch, and I am glad that I did. It was a beautiful summer day, so I enjoyed lunch on the front patio. I had the delicious Muffuletta and a chocolate chip cookie for dessert. Both were excellent. The salami and the mortadella blended perfectly with the roasted peppers and olive tapenade. Also, the chocolate chip cookie was absolutely delicious. Do yourself a favor and do not skip out on dessert. Overall, it was a very enjoyable lunch, and I will be back for more. read more

Surprised-happy with the polenta lasagna. Hearty, cheesey, tangy, and balanced. The vegetables and delicious red sauce cut through the cheese. I was so happy to have leftovers-- lunch and dinner. Perfect service. Thank you, Espostos read more

Esposto's Delicatezza - I ordered a turkey sandwich and got one piece of turkey. There was more lettuce than Turkey. - Delis Near Me - San Francisco, California

Tailored to individuals working in the area. Inside is super clean with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Son of a Baker on Dutch Crunch: meatball sub with peppers and arugula. A generous serving size and sandwich served piping hot! The arugula didn't hold up too well and would probably recommend a different veggie. Flavors were solid. Side Salad: Had it with green goddess dressing. Very generous again for $3 with tomatoes, croutons and cucumbers. Overall, would definitely come back for lunch as flavors, portions and price are great! read more

Right at the corner of 16th Street and Owens. Outdoor patio seating available. Inside seating area is CLEAN and inviting. Place is very busy with to go orders. Wednesday is BBQ day so its more busy. Highly recommend ordering online if you can. Staff worked quickly getting out all the orders. The tri tip sandwich is simply huge and delicious. Smokiness from the tri tip, sweetness from the grilled onions, a bit of tartness and heat from the slaw and jalapeno... mouth is so confused but happy. read more

Did an online order and picked up the food. They didn't follow the instructions. I wanted two ingredients off and they didn't do it or forgot. The food is good though. read more

I work nearby, and have stopped here quite a few for lunch now. The sandwiches and salads are consistently very good, and prices are pretty reasonable for the amount of food you get. My favorites are the Mission Bay Sandwich and the Esposto's Hero. A good option if you're looking for a quick lunch in the area. read more

Mission Bay sandwich was great. Fast and friendly service. Will come back, awesome spot.

If you order the Cubano sandwich and expected it to be grilled you need to ask for it to be grilled...

The sandwiches are really good here, however I have found the salads to be a little underwhelming, specifically the Asian salad. Slightly over priced as well, but when you need a sandwich for lunch at work, this is the place to go. read more

I love coming here to get a nice sandwich fresh bread, fresh cut meat. The services is really great is close to my job so I'm here quite a few times during the week. Also, I like to recommend their peanut butter cookie. It is amazing. Make sure when you go for lunch stop here first and eat outside enjoy the beautiful San Francisco here with a delicious sandwich and classic chips read more

The food delicious and well priced for SF. The salads say they come with bread and butter, but in the last month the takeout orders do not include this and there is no option online to add bread anymore. When we ask in the store for bread it is an unpleasant experience. read more

I never came here before the remodel but it is nice and open space. There's one big tv playing sports with plenty of seating inside and some seating outside with heat lamps. They have a good selection of sandwiches that are already customized. I'm not sure if you can create your own. They also have salads and pastas like lasagna, spaghetti with meatballs. I had the mission bay sandwich for 12.75 that comes with a tiny cup of pasta or potato salad. The sandwhich was a good size with turkey, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, peppercinis on dutch crunch. I was surprised at how filling it was and good amount of filling. Service was friendly, order at the counter and wait for your food. read more

This place is so good. Service was great. we got tortilla soup one of thr b4st I've had and the chicken bacon sandwich So fresh chicken breast was juicy.

Esposto's is clearly meant to cater to the working folks in this area. It's only open from mid-morning until mid-afternoons during the weekdays and is closed on weekends. If I didn't start working next door to this place, I know I wouldn't have gone out of my way to travel to Mission Bay to eat here. That's not a bad thing, that's just a fact. That said, in every instance I come to the office, this Esposto's is second to none in terms of convenience. It's literally next door to where I work. Its convenience is only matched by the Starbucks next door, which is already on the corner of nearly every other city block in the known universe so it doesn't count. As far as food goes, I've only gotten one thing in the two times I've eaten here - the Mission Bay Sandwich, aptly named after the neighborhood this Esposto's is based in. I don't like thinking too hard about the food I order and the Mission Bay was at the top of the sandwich menu so clearly, Esposto's wanted it to grab my attention. The sandwich itself was hefty and loaded with cold cuts, vegetables, and avocados. It's pretty messy and almost comparable to an Ike's sandwich, if a lot less gimmicky and extra than a lot of Ike's sandwiches. Beware - this sandwich will give you strong onion breath if you're not careful and remove said onions. I like onions though and I wear a mask at work so the only one suffering through my onion breath in the office would be me. If you are not weird like me, make sure to consume several breath mints and maybe gargle several cups of mouthwash after eating this. Overall, Esposto's is a decent spot with more stuff on their menu aside from sandwiches that I will probably want to try in the future. Customer service is also top notch. When I came here to pick up an order for the office today, I was told the it would be ready at 11:45am. I came in even earlier and it was already sitting there fresh out of the kitchen waiting for me. I love it when things are perfectly timed. I recommend coming here if you already work in Mission Bay, however I wouldn't strongly recommend folks to otherwise go out of their way to eat here. I would probably give Esposto's a 4.5/5 since Mission Bay is out of the way from the BART line without the use of MUNI or whatever other public transit there is by my standards and, worse, it doesn't serve anything wholly unique to justify me coming here when I'm not at the office but I can't do half ratings on Yelp (I think) so YAY 5/5 A+ GOLD STAR. read more

Wednesday and Friday are BBQ special days. The tri-tip sandwich is spectacular and perfect in every way. Served warm with a vinegar slaw, it's perfectly sauced. I also always get my wife some of the clam chowder to go on Fridays. Tried the brownies and they were delicious. On the edge of dry but the fudgy frosting keeps it from being too much, even without milk. My weekly Friday treat to myself. I've also had the Asian Sesame Chicken Salad and it was very good. Slightly over dressed for my taste but that's the normal style. So many great salad options. read more

Big sandwich, full of protein, and full of flavor. Im a sucker for a dutch crunch sandwich, and esposto's delivers. Great spot to grab and sandwich to bring back to the hospital while you are on your break read more

I went here for lunch a little after 12pm and there was no wait. Looking around the restaurant, it seemed like most people ordered the sandwich here. I wanted to get the macaroni and cheese, but they didn't have it (either they ran out or don't sell it anymore), so I got the spaghetti and meatballs instead. The spaghetti tasted like the typical spaghetti that you can easily make with pasta sauce from a jar. The spaghetti was good, but not great. The meatballs here are HUGE! I was a little excited to try the meatball, but was slightly disappointed because I thought it would be a little more moist inside. The two slices of sourdough bread which came with my meal was good too. The bread was perfectly moist, soft on the inside, but slightly hard on the outside crust area. I would give this place a second chance. It's not a bad restaurant, but the food I got here during this trip was only ok. Next time, I'll try their sandwiches. I also noticed they have a few burritos here too, which I'm sure I would like! read more

Food is good but it never fails that my order is always wrong.Every time I've ordered, something ends up missing from my order or something I didn't ask for is on the order. I work at the hospital so I don't have the time to go back & forth to correct it. I think I'll have to find somewhere else to get lunch at this point. Here's today's Mission Bay sandwich, which is missing the avocado, which was NOT a request of mine. read more

Esposto's has been our regular go-to spot ever since we started working from home nearly 4 years ago. What a discovery! The freshest salads, the most delicious soups, and the best staff ever. I love their salads so much that I haven't deviated much, but just know, Bolognese Lasagna, I'm comin' for you! There really is something for every palate here. Esposto's is so worth the trip and worth your support! read more

We ordered a cyo salad and it was very generously portioned. Got steak, bacon, hard boiled eggs, marinated artichoke hearts, olives, cucumber, shredded cheddar and their homemade ranch...don't judge we're on a keto diet. This was very good and tasty. The salad filled us up for the rest of the day. read more

When in the Mission Bay, this a great place to get lunch! It's a great place that you can easily order online for in the Mission Bay area. There is something for everyone here. From cold sandwiches to hot to pasta to desserts you can pick from. I always get the Mission Bay Sandwich when I am here. For me the bread is just amazing and what brings me back every time. In my experience, the pasta is okay. Prices are okay, it's San Francisco in an area where there are a bunch of companies and research centers nearby. Sadly, not the place to get a great food on a budget. read more

We chose Esposto's because it was a convenient location during our son's hospital stay. We returned to Esposto's because in this place, we found everything that is good about a restaurant. Clean and stylish ambiance with a nod to a long San Francisco history? Check. Friendly staff who goes beyond basic conversation to make guests feel welcome and appreciated? Check. Little additions to the to-go bag to add value to the customer experience? Check. Delicious food and generous portions? Check. We made this our go-to for the duration of our stay at MIssion Bay and are so grateful for the comfort and quality of their service and their menu. read more

l'am so sorry for this place. The food is so Good and fresh, and l' personaly like it for that reason. The Cashier' s have to replaced they have a very bad attitude they make you wait for LONG time read more

This place is my fave lunch spot in the area. I love the expedient and friendly service as well as the adorably packaged delicious salad that feeds me over two meals. Dining outdoors is never an issue here since they have awnings to keep me dry on rainy days, and their heat lamps are always helpful in keeping me warm. I have yet to try anything else other than their salad, and that speaks volumes about their awesomeness since I'm actually raving about greens for once in my life. read more

Loooove a good hot sandwich! I came here around 1pm on a Wednesday and it wasn't too busy. I ordered the urban cowboy without the bbq sauce and it was delicious!
