    limoncello and ricotta pistachio cake
    Jeanie N.

    Stopped by for dessert after grabbing lunch in the Mission, and was delighted by the cutesy sitting area in the back I ordered the limoncello cake and the ricotta pistachio cake Limoncello - very light in flavor, could definitely be more lemony Ricotta pistachio - I was so excited for this one, but I didn't even take a bite. My two friends tried it first and announced there was something "very off" about it and that it tasted "moldy". I smelled it and it was sour and unpleasant. I brought it up to the register and was quickly offered another cake slice option, so I chose the tiramisu Tiramisu - also very light in flavor. I appreciated that it wasn't too sweet, but there wasn't much of a coffee element at all I'm interested in their sandwiches, but definitely skip dessert here.

    The Mafioso Sandwich
    Amber C.

    Love limoncello. The mafioso is my go-to for sandwiches and the meat is always paper thin. I also love their stuffed peppers with prosciutto and cheese. One of the few places in the city that has them!

    The Delicious Mafioso Sandwich
    Jolens V.

    The Mafioso was excellent. Meaty and fresh with veggies. The bread was really soft. I think I'l have it toasted next time. The Mandarin Drink from Italy is refreshing. The sandwich was delicious and was generously made. The Good Looking Guy Minding the store was so nice and accommodating. He was very attentive and friendly. He made sure and asked me about how I wanted the Sandwich made. The place is well organized and clean. I really recommend this place. Come hungry. the food is great and the service is excellent .

    One of the best sandwiches so far in san Francisco . Nothing but good things to say about this sandwich. Pricey but well worth it. The worker was very nice as well. I'm handicap and she came out to my car to bring my sandwich and payment. Sandwich so big I could only eat half. Take a look below for yourself

    alpino
    Julianne C.

    really delicious and packed sandwiches!! this is a gem in the heart of mission. i ordered the cuban and alpino sandwiches. you can choose to get it hot or cold, but i got both hot. the toasted bread with the fillings were super yummy! the cuban was delecadent, meaty, saucefest all in your mouth. i wouldn't have it any other way. the alpino had the perfect combination of fillings with savory and spice. with high quality ingredients, friendly service, and cute ambiance, i couldn't recommend limoncello more! i can't wait to come back and try other meats, sandwiches, or prepared goods!

    Pastrami Sandwich and Wine.

    The best five star sandwich, service and atmosphere. Fernando was the best. Drove from LA just for this. Totally recommended.

    The Alpino Sandwich
    Tomohisa W.

    The alpino was very well made with crunchy thin bacon and generous slices of meat. The vinegar gave it a refreshing tang while the fresh lettuce and tomato added to the texture of every bite. It is a bit on the pricy side but considering the quality of the ingredients and the skill with which it was prepared, a nice treat for a midday meal when working from home.

    The Alpino Sandwich

    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.

    El especiale
    Steven N.

    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!

    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.

    The Speciale Sandwich w/ olive oil on the side
    Janessa H.

    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.

Located in the legendary Mission District of San Francisco, this wine bar is a great spot to catch up with friends and enjoy small bites and yummy crafted cocktails. Their decor is very chic and I especially loved all of the hardware, glasses, tables, and benches. This place was styled by a great design artist. Even though the place was pretty packed and can be kind of noisy, I still felt very calm amongst all the healthy plants and loved the sophisticated 70s inspired glassware. Another great feature of this place is that you can buy most of the plants because they have some for sale so after a couple of cocktails, I was ready to redecorate my whole house with all the plants. I ordered a yummy Rose blend that was super crisp. Also enjoyed the Truffle Fungi! A delicious Shiitake and oyster mushrooms with parmesan and arugula on toasted bread. Their Spanish inspired potatoes were delicious with their dipping sauce. They have lots of gatherings there and DJ sets on the weekends. Lastly, a photographer would die to take pictures here. There is no bad shot as the design artist made sure every section of this cute wine bar was picture perfect. Loved all my photos and videos. I look forward to returning to this exquisite wine bar!

I love the decor of this space! It is definitely intentionally and tastefully decorated. Loved the lighting and plants. They had Lord of the Rings playing on the wall. The vibe is artsy, warm, a little dark, and overall a cool place to mingle. The bathrooms and tables were kept clean. I liked it that the DJ was live mixing. Getting a drink was fast and easy. The high top tables were a bit wobbly, so we spilled half a drink on there. The drinks are strong. I recommend going upstairs to sit instead if you want to hear your friends better. The tables are bigger up there too. The rooftop was closed off but I'd like to check it out sometime.

The people were laughing, the drinks were flowing. It smelled really good, which we would later find out was from the food especially that Mac and cheese. We started off with different wines, some that Tom recommended based on what we told him we didn't like or did like. He apologized for our previous experience and was genuinely a nice guy. Honestly it's very admirable for a business owner to take feedback to heart and want to incorporate it. Plus he's a really cool guy when you get to know him. The staff was busy running around but still made time to come check on us. Our final verdict is we came on a bad day. This time we got the actual Waystone experience. We finally got to try the chicken bites with a creamy aioli, fries with yogurt sauce, and the star of the show was the Mac and cheese. Tik tok did live up to the hype and we will have to come back for one of their jazz nights. Be warned this place gets busy! But it's worth it.

We were able to snag a seat at the bar after waiting a few minutes. Drinks: A nice selection of wines, vermouth cocktails and some beer and non alcoholic options availible. We ordered chilled bottles of sparkling red wine which was served in a bucket with ice which was a nice touch to keep it cool. Food: Tinned monkfish liver - nice and creamy, rich with mild flavor served with bread, crackers, potato chips and pickled peppers Tinned stuffed squid - very tasty, squid were cut into smaller pieces making it easy to pass around also served with the same bread, crackers, and potato chips Tortilla - a nice piece of egg and potato tortilla served warm on a slice of ciabatta, this was well seasoned and a generous portion size, was surprised it was served like an open faced sandwich made it a little bit difficult to cut up and share but tasty regardless Jamon con brie - similar to the tortilla served in a warm open faced sandwich, ham and brie were nice, a little greasy and salty Service was fine, walk up to the bar and place your order, they'll provide you with a number for food delivery to your seat. Water we grabbed a filled our glasses as needed. Plates were cleared relatively quickly when we were finished. Overall enjoyed El Chato, there happened to be some live music that evening which was fun but made for a pretty loud space. Food was solid nothing outstanding but a nice array of tin fish and tapas, liked the wine and vermouth options. A fun spot for girls night expect a crowd if you go earlier in the evening.
