I've been working in the Fidi for over 10 years and have never noticed this place until recently. I decided to try it out today and got the Don. It's quite tasty and fresh. Don't let the small looking sandwich fool you, it is very filling despite its size. It is on the pricier side compared to others in the area, but I'd definitely come back for this for the quality alone. I got in around 1140a on a Wednesday and there was no crowd. read more

I ordered the Pesto Pollo Panini on focaccia bread. I like the focaccia bread. The chicken was tender and there was adequate sauce. It would have tasted even better for me if it would have been seasoned more with basil, onion salt and garlic powder. The sandwich is very filling. This is a small place with about 6 tables. Very friendly vibe. read more

Good not great. I ordered the Italian beef which I was told by the staff is the most popular. I wouldn't rush back for it but also not something I would turn down if I was in the area. Tough because SF is such a vibrant food scene to justify going out of your way for this. You won't be upset you just won't be wowed. read more

Hole in the wall sandwich shop with some Italian desserts and the first time I've ever seen cannoli chocolate bars! Yeah, you read that right, that's NOT a typo. Wanted to try it but since I'm not really a chocolate person I'll leave it to you chocolate lovers to review. Super friendly staff and Super nice. I was asking for ice and they went above and beyond to give me ice for the fresh orange juice I bought. Their fresh orange juice was so good we bought multiples of them! Sandwiches are made fresh here. Good and decent. Stop by on your lunch break and support this local business! read more

I passed by here whilst I was running errands and saw that this shop had good sandwiches. I ordered the Don, which tasted good because of the balsamic spread, and added some sweetness. I liked the grill marks on the bread (I got Dutch crunch) and it was super yummy and warm on a chilly day. The meats were sliced super thin which I appreciated. The next time I'm going to try the mortadella, everything on the menu looked so good! read more

I love a good Italian deli:-) As you await your food, peruse their collection of Italian goods they offer such as olive oil or cured meats. Just really love it. Love to be here. Felt like I was transported to Italy.... Haha I wish... Today, I decided to try their cold sandwich, the Salumi Piccante on Focaccia. Hmmm... not as impactful as their panini pressed Don on Focaccia with truffle spread. Yummm... However, on this visit, I also tried their tomato soup. Very good and comforting. There's bread included for you to sop up the tomatoey goodness. Would love to try their other sandwiches on a future visit. read more

Love! Freshly made salads and sandwiches that are tasty with generous portions. I'm a big fan of the combo - half salad, half sandwich. Soups are yummy too, including the tomato. Warm and friendly service. Try it! read more

Excellent lunch spot in the Financial District. I was heading to a San Francisco Climate Week event at the 9Zero co-working space nearby and stopped by around 1:30 pm as I wasn't sure they'd provide any food or snacks there. After a quick glance at the menu, I settled on the spicy sausage and pepper panini, which happened to be a great choice. The sandwich was steaming hot and served with tomatoes and arugula on the side. I took my time, living in the moment, savoring every last delicious bite. Service was friendly. The location was clean with a few tables inside and outside, and interesting bottles, and jars with condiments along the walls. I will certainly be back to try some of their other options. read more

A new Italian sandwich shop serving up some really fancy meats and cheeses in their sandwiches. And while they really like their panini press here, I kinda prefer the cold sandwiches more. But no matter what you order, it will be so much bougier than Subway. Breakfast Croissant with Mortadella, Provolone, Egg: Interesting French/Italian fusion. A croissant that is grilled flat in a panini press. Filled with runny fried egg, mortadella and provolone. You pick your own meat & cheese, but I got what was recommended. It worked out nicely and was quite a filling breakfast. Chocolate Croissant: It seemed like a pretty standard chocolate croissant, likely not made in-house. But the cashier recommended I get it heated, so I did. Turned out that heating it in a panini press gives it a little grill marks and made it crispy. A really interesting way to have a chocolate croissant. The Don: A bunch of different meats, but somehow didn't seem that filling. I guess it's because everything was sliced thin and the provolone melted into the bread. The bread itself was like a chewy focaccia with one side having nice panini grill marks. Felt a little bland with just bread, meat, cheese and a smidge of balsamic. There was some arugula and tomatoes served in a side cup. It kinda looked like a side salad, but there was no dressing. So maybe I was supposed to add it to the sandwich myself? But if that's they case, why didn't they just do that (either before or after the panini press step)? Salumi Picante: Much better than the panini pressed sandwich I had. The veggies were on the sandwich, not in a side cup. The spicy spread was a lot more flavorful than simple balsamic. And the spicy meats and cheese had a lot of personality. It wasn't like Korean-hot or anything, but had a nice kick for Italian. Really liked this. Tomato Gorgonzola Soup: I'm a big fan of tomato soup with sandwiches, since it feels so homey. Especially on a rainy day. And I do like when it's a little creamy. I've had a lot of tomato soup, but I've never had anything like this. Theirs was made creamy with tangy gorgonzola. So it's both creamy and got that nice bleu cheese tang. Each spoonful is quite intense and full of flavor. Cappuccino: I said it was for here and they still gave it to me in paper cup. I had seen a bunch of proper ceramic coffee cups near the espresso machine, so figured asking for it for here would mean I'd get served in a reusable cup. Guess they're not that sustainable. The cappuccino was fine, pretty standard. read more

My favorite lunch spot in FiDi!!! You can't go wrong. ANYTHING inside their foccacia bread is my recommendation. Fluffy and good quality bread. The Bello Prosciutto Sandwich is definitely my go-to. Simple, but flavorful! They don't skimp on the balsamic vinegar... but I'll definitely try their truffle spread next time! It's very close to the Embarcadero BART Station too. It's an easy pick up spot while in the area. There's also seating, but it's very crowded during weekday lunch hours! read more

Quick lunch of my dreams! Great location, quaint decor, delicious (!) panini and an even better soup. Lovely little selection of Italian beverages. What else could a girl want. Only issue we encountered was that they put a slice of crostini on the salad - can see how it's unexpected for gluten free customers ordering some leafy greens. read more

Came here because it's close to my office, and I'm glad I gave it a try! The menu looked really promising, and I was excited to see balsamic cream as a spread on some of the sandwich options. I ended up getting the Bella Mortadella, and the mortadella balanced well with the soft, salty cheese. The balsamic cream could have been a bit more flavorful, in my opinion, to help offset how heavy the fillings were, though. The focaccia I chose for my sandwich was lightly crispy, fluffy, and very herby. Definitely recommend that as your bread of choice. I also got a tomato gorgonzola soup as a combo with the sandwich because it was a really cold day. The sandwich dipped in the soup was nice and nourishing, but they're definitely not meant to be paired like that because the soup overpowered the sandwich's flavors. My bad. Would definitely love to come again when I'm in the office, and I'd love to give the bello prosciutto a shot! read more

I stopped in here in need of lunch. I ended up getting a sandwich (with a side salad) and a cannolo. The sandwich was pretty tasty. The cannolo was just okay, in my opinion. The shell seemed soggy.

The Don sandwich is the best sandwich I've eaten outside of Italy and I don't say that lightly. It's honestly the perfect combination if you get The Don on their house-made focaccia bread with black truffle spread. So delicious and satisfying for a quick lunch. The exceptional quality of all the ingredients is evident and was so good I went back to pick up another for dinner. The service is also top notch. So friendly and full of super helpful suggestions to make the sandwich of your dreams. They also have freshly made soups and a selection of market items like olives, artichoke hearts and dried pasta as well. Such a great addition to the Fidi restaurant scene. Wholeheartedly recommend. I will be making sure I take my statins and returning often! Don't miss it - its tucked between Perbacco and the Dispensary. read more

A very good mortadella sandwich. The cheese adds a subtle funk that really elevates it. SF has always had great legacy italian delis (like Molinari) and we're somehow in a second renaissance of italian sandwiches with places like this, limoncello, and bettola. What a time to be alive. read more

Decided to try this place out during my lunch break! There's not many options in the financial district since the pandemic. First impressions the place is aesthetically pleasing and the aroma of deli meats is amazing. The reason for the three star review is solely because the lady who took our order spoke to my colleague and I as if we were incompetent. Made us both really uncomfortable but we still chose to order a meal to help the small business to continue to thrive in the not so busy city. read more

Pass by this place everyday on the way to work so I decided to patronize. Long line which is expected at lunch hour. So no big deal I'll wait. Ordered the porchetta panini which I was super excited for. Who doesn't like porchetta? When I got my order it seemed strange that my panini was super small and there was a soup in there as well, I asked the cashier if this order was correct and if I'm supposed to get a soup with my sandwich. She said yes and kind of pushed me along to get to the next customer. It's busy so whatever, come to find out that I got someone else's order. Which was a soup and sandwich combo of mortadella and Brie plus an Italian wedding soup. Super disappointed being that the sandwich I paid for was more expensive and I was really looking forward to trying their porchetta. Would like to support local businesses but it's hard when you are disappointed in what you get. read more

Decided to try this spot out for lunch and man am I glad we did! There was a line when we got there but it moved pretty quick. The woman ringing us up was delightful and helped us make some choices. Scored a table and waited about 10 min for our name to be called. I ordered the Salumi Picante on focaccia and it did not disappoint! The meats pretty much melted in your mouth. The chili spread was mild but flavorful with a slight sweetness. The Stracchino cheese added a creamy texture that elevated the sando. If you're tired of the same boring deli sandwiches, give this place a try! read more
