Lunardi's is one of my more frequently visited grocery stores simply because of the convenience- it's right off Skyline near the 280, which makes it an easy stop on my way to and from work. The store is always clean, well-stocked, and well-organized. The deli and butcher counter are standout features. The staff are consistently kind, knowledgeable, and clearly take pride in what they do. The deli, in particular, is one of the best in the area in my opinion- tons of fresh, delicious options every day. Whether you want a breakfast burrito, a sandwich, or sliced meats and sides, they do it right. That said, Lunardi's is definitely on the expensive side compared to other grocery stores nearby. Because of that, I tend to avoid buying items here that I can easily get for cheaper at larger chains. But if you're after fresh produce, quality meats, or a quick, well-made meal, this place delivers. Overall, it's a higher-end neighborhood market where the staff treat it like a career, not just a job- and it shows. read more

The weekly ad this week had large artichokes 4 for $5 on Thursday/Friday. When I went in, the artichokes are tiny. I guess you can't always believe the advertisement. Still a decent deal on fresh arti's. The service was nice from the staff. Huge parking lot. read more

if you're not happy or you're having a bad day go home but don't get mad because someone asked you for something different than what you grabbed if you know you know. If I say I want turkey then you should ask what kind of turkey ? if I say I want another meat that you have several options of you should ask which one not get mad when I correct you and ask you for a different product~ that's all I'm gonna say~ won't be coming back here for a while . I have to say the Asian lady who usually does sandwiches. She's amazing so kind and friendly today must be her day off. read more

This is definitely an upper scale grocery. The store was immaculate & super shiny clean. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable about the store. The deli is amazing, have it your way build your own or buy one made ready to go. I couldn't help but notice the guy outside under the tent who sharpens knives. Him and his lady friend were so nice and glad to give a deal. My Dad absolutely loves this place. read more

The Apples for the last three months are always partly rotten.Same with a lot of the other fruit. The San Francisco potato salad has a high percentage of bad potatoes. There is no excuse for this. I now go to another store in the area. read more

It's getting worse. Staff is non helpful announcing their vacations and unwillingness to help. Bad quality. High prices. Shame.

Have been shopping here for over 15 years. Went the other day to purchase chicken wings, flat part. As the nice butcher was getting gthem for me, another butcher came up and told him I can't only purchase the flat part, I need to also purchase the drumsticks. I told him I don't like the drumsticks. He said if people only purchase the flat part, we'd have only drumsticks left. I told him to give me 4 drumsticks. I will never return to that store again. I was caught off guard, but should have asked him, what do you do with all the meat leftovers??? So annoyed..... read more

I always have a pleasant experience at this store! The employees at the bakery are very nice, the cashiers at checkout are nice and the employees in the meat section are nice! Lunardi's always have what I want and without me having to go to several other stores. Can you build one in Daly City please? Thank You! read more

If you want real quality deli meats, this is your place. They have the proper meats and know how to cut and package them. They understand thin cut. The meats are excellent too. You won't be disappointed with either. As for the fruits, they are upscale. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. read more

I started trying these folks out about three months ago. Lunardi's does not have the lowest prices. That's just a fact and it is the only ding against them. Most prices are higher, but not insane by today's inflation standards. And I know it must be hard to compete for price against the behemoth chains where I have often been treated so rudely and even aggressively sometimes. But let me tell you, brother/sister. They make up for it. 1. Krabby cakes at 1.99 apiece and good size. A delicious meal on a budget. 2. Good produce section that is well maintained 3. The deli meat. Try their roast beef cut thin for sandwiches. So good. Romeo might even give you a taste to help you decide. 4. The staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They will usually even patiently laugh at my stupid jokes. That's nice for a lonely old man. 5. Products I cannot find elsewhere. I like discovering new things. 6. Kitschy music. I love it 7. An overall 50's/60's vibe like stepping back in time. 8. A wonderful meat and seafood counter. Huge selection and the staff are friendly and know their stuff. Try the lamb sausage if they are not sold out (and call yourself lucky). 9. Easy and safe parking 10. Never more than 3 deep at the checkout. At least not that I have ever seen. Summary: Grocery shopping can be fun. Thumbs up, Lunardi's. read more

Love their Deli & Bakery. I also like their hot food section, especially when they have stuffed cabbage. Love it during the holidays when they have the abundant fresh turkeys for sale. read more

This place has everything that I look for in a grocery store. The prices are a little higher than your big name locations like Safeway and Albertsons. But this spot is always clean and well-organized with lots of friendly and helpful staff on hand to assist with whatever you need. Honorable mention to the fresh produce section, the deli, and the bakery - second to none! read more

Sandwich Review: In terms of proximity to home, Lundari's is quick option for me to grab a deli sandwich at a reasonable price. You can build your own, starting at $8.99 and the size is perfect for one meal for bigger appetites and probably two for smaller ones. When you get to the deli, grab a number. It was kind of a free for all, until I noticed the number ticker hanging above the deli. I went with a roast beef sandwich on ciabatta. The use Columbus meats for their sandwiches and if you look at my sando picture, it was a perfect medium rare and great in for a Deli sandwich. I added the pesto mayo and garlic spread plus all the veggies. I opted for toasted, which adds an additional 5 minutes to complete. Overall a really tasty sandwich for $10.99. I asked for cheddar cheese, but they forgot to put it in. No biggie. For a side I went with a small cup of soup. $4.99 is not bad for something I wouldn't cook myself. The clam chowder was tasty enough and was nice to dip my sandwich in from bite to bite. Overall, decent place to grab a sandwich for the price. It wouldn't be my first option but it serviceable enough for me to come back again when I'm coming home off of 280. read more

Freaking ripoff of a deli! Got an egg salad sandwich with bacon and the sandwich was $15! I could go down to Little Lucca's or Roma's and get twice the sandwich for that price. Never again will I get anything from this deli. read more

Lunardi's Markets - Rip off $15 sandwich! - Grocery Near Me - San Bruno, California

Roast beef sandwich on dutch crunch is my favorite in the area. Deli is usually pretty quick too. I have never had issues with certain staff at the store like some reviewers mentioned. I go often enough that I see the same workers frequently, and I can tell some of them feel stressed at times, but they are obviously still making an effort to be pleasant. I think some of the people who live in this area just have a stick up their ass. Prices are high for everything, but the location is convenient right off Skyline, I find myself coming here for a few necessities and a sandwich every week. Bathroom is very cleanly for a grocery store. read more

it is quite expensive market, but their english clam chowder is amazing. highly recommend to try. I go there only because of that soup. it is better than in any restaurants. service is fine too. read more

I don't usually get my meats here, but I had no choice today because of it being a holiday. The white guy in the butcher was just really rude. I asked what the difference between a Market steak and the New York Steak (first time I've seen Market steak) and answered "it's from a different part of a cow" with a rude tone staring at me as if it was a dumb question. I mean, obviously it was from a different part of the cow! I guess I was just served by the wrong butcher today... For those curious, I googled Market Steak and it's the boneless ribeye. read more

I go there mainly for the boxed/canned items as the produce and meats are not as good as alternatives (Costco and Molly Stones), but understand they are priced higher. They are a convenience for last minute snacks on the way home. The deli is pretty bad, better alternatives local and the bakery section is on par with Safeway (not saying much). Strawberries from Lunardi's last maybe 2-3ays - from Costco maybe 2 weeks . . . dunno . . .treat them the same - Apple Cider/water rinse, pat dry and into the fruit bin of the fridge . . . read more

Sheesshhh came here to get coffee and pastries but damn, people in the bakery section were pretty rude, not a good spot to get coffee while charging I guess read more

Finally I visited a Lunardis! I wanted some deli snacks for a solo carb party (potato salad, mac salad, hot mac) but I found this amazing hot Italian Wedding Soup!! Soup is one of my favorite foods I enjoy how versatile and healthy it can be (NOT looking at you clam chowder) and this was a true classic Italian wedding, no funny add-ins. Deep rich flavor, the little baby meatballs were perfect and plentiful, lots of spinach (?) and pasta pearls, with a kick of heat too from red pepper flakes - exactly what my soul needed. I should've gotten a large it was that satisfying. read more

So I went by today to get a few things to make some specialty sandwiches as I was having guests over. The turkey, lasagna soup is excellent and get two large batches every time I see it. I wish I knew if they had it on specific days as others have asked as well. I had given up on the deli service, but thought I would at least get some prosciutto, ia few kinds to pair with cheeses, different sandwich bites and cocktails I'm making. I've just been getting the stuff by the cheese counter, but since there was no one in line, thought I would get some domestic prosciutto, but the lady working the counter was only willing to give me the imported stuff. At almost $30 a pound, you can at least have the sign up for the domestic, which is about the same taste but a lot less expensive. "I don't have that one open" OK then give me a little of the imported. When I decided I needed a little of the imported anyway, "it's gonna take a while to open." And then I got this butchered mess. I wasn't gonna say anything, but when one of my favorite people at the checkout line could tell I wasn't too happy. I mentioned it to them. I could deal with the attitude, but posting this because of the mess she gave me. Bottom line: if you don't want to work or deal with people, it's probably the wrong place to work. It reminded me of some of the old Russian bakeries I would go to, and the saucy attitude you get from the people behind the counter but this is my local grocery store. That is already too high of a price. Looks like I'll be spending more time in Shopping in Millbrae or south city, even though Lynardis is walking distance from my house. Shame. read more

I use their meat department for lamb shoulder, and in November to buy turkey wings to make an extra batch of homemade gravy. Wish they would carry goat sometimes. Recently used them for a custom birthday cake. I brought "inspiration" photos of a cake I felt they ought to be able to recreate or do something close to it. Was happy with the result, and will probably use them again for birthdays since it went so well. Picked up day before event and kept in fridge. No color bleed from sprinkles. read more

On the plus side, there's decent parking and freeway accessibility. Nicely presented - better lit/internal space than most Bay Area Wholefoods. My experience was using their Deli counter - the food quality was terrible, overcooked/dry chicken, the rest of the food [at around 2pm] looked old/overcooked/mushed not fresh, and as others have noted, the counter staff struggle to even know. - or recognise ! - what is for sale , and the pricing of it. Service was sluggish, and the remainder of the store 'deals' reminded me of the so-called 'comparison pricing not necessarily ever sold at this price' claims at Ross/TJ/Nordstrom Rack style for clothing - , ie Lunardi's claimed deals on produce, everyday stuff, I doubt anyone ever paid yet they claim to be offering a deal off an inflated-never-sold-at price. So it's a nicely presented, below average service, conveniently located, over-priced regional grocery chain store. read more

The store itself is great, and there are so many positive and helpful people who work at the store. The store is clean and the food is great. I only had one complaint, I was at the store and a staff member named Nick, was just so vile and rude. I have visited the store multiple times and that same person is always so vile and rude. Thought it was a one off, but it was each time I was in the store. Very unfortunate considering everyone else is so nice and friendly and pleasant. The 5 stars is for the store and everyone except Nick. read more

The basic deli sandwich price has gone up from 9.99 to 10.99 and now 11.99 without cheese. So $3.00 bucks all together in like 90 days... It's just greed As their costs could not of increased that quickly. I need to find another deli! read more

I had a great experience here. I like Lunardi's, it makes other grocery stores look uncivilized and dirty. This store is clean, it's neat and it's very organized! The fresh produce area looks so fresh and is neatly placed and organized into their own categories. Other grocery stores produce areas always look so unorganized and messy with food on the floor but not here. The people here are so kind too! I had two random interactions coincidentally and I asked an employee for help finding some shredded cheese. I wish I got his name but he was an older looking gentlemen walking around the produce with gray hair on April 29th at around 5pm. He was super kind and helped me find the shredded cheese. The other customers are very well-mannered and super considerate. One of them asked me to go in front of him in line because I had a few items and he had more. I just moved here from Texas and I think I've found where I'll be shopping at from now on. read more

I went to Lunardis today and the Chinese lady at the last register did not say hello or anything else for that matter. Very rude handling my products and completely silent for over 5 minutes. I said thank you very much and she did not even look. I understand that some people can be having a bad day, but this is the 4th time she checks me out and the same sour attitude every time. If she does not like her job she probably should quit or retire. The last straw was when I pay in cash. she just threw the change in the counter. I dont care how good your products are, keep on this road and your store will be permanently closed soon. read more

I was at the Lunardi market in San Bruno today 11/6/2023. I have been going there for 30 years. The manager and staffs before had been very helpful, courteous and polite. But unfortunately today I had a totally very different experience. There were only two lines available. One checkout line was tended by a young lady checker and her line was very long and I could see she was working as far as possible. The other was tended by an Asian older women who was taking her own sweet time and chatting with the customer and she had only two customers in line as it was a line for 12 items or less. I went over to see if she could help me or call for backup cashier. As I was approaching her, and even before I could say anything, she pointed up to the 12 items sign and very rudely told me to move to the other line. As I started to saying something, she admonished me with her finger and with a disgusted expression on her face told me to move off her line. I was dumbfounded at first but then anger set in. I have to apologize for trying to get back into the long line, zipping around my shopping cart in anger. I am sorry for that. But by then I was angry, I went back to her to let her know how rude she was, she told me to go back to my other line and challenged me to call the manager. She then puffed out her chest, showing me her name tag, with the name Kris ( not too sure if I got the spelling right) telling me her name is Kris May or something sound as such. She challenged me, daring me. Her face was so arrogant and she was so full of herself as if telling me, what can you do? I was furious by then. I go to that market every week for 30 years and had never had such an awful experience. I am not planning to go shopping there anymore as long as "Kris" is still work there as a checker. She has horrible customer service skills. read more

Is it weird to review your grocery store? Who cares. I love this store. It's my favorite thing about having moved up Peninsula to South City. Everything about this store says well done. The staff is so friendly and helpful. And employees seem to stay for a long time which front eh customer perspective is lovey - we see folks every week and it makes for a much better grocery experience. Side note - I really do hate grocery shopping so this is a huge bonus. The butchers are excellent and meat / fish / poultry is very good quality. Nice bakery and good deli selection. Lots of day to day foods but also a lot of high quality gourmet ingredients. A surprising number of items for such a small store. Another bonus - small store. Makes getting in and out easier. And the produce is beautiful. I am from down Peninsula and Draegers has the best produce in town. I'd put Lunardi's up against them and the prices are right close to national stores like Safeway. When people ask me how I feel about living in SSF I tell them the best part is Lunardi's. Other benefits include being right near the beach and the City and closer to wine country - but Lunardi's is tops. read more

Today I made my weekly trip to Lunardi's. The deli counter was populated with some teen bros who were clearly stoned out of their minds and there wasn't really much of a mind there to begin with so this turned out to be a pretty big problem. I asked what must have been the stupidest one there for a half pound of sliced chicken breast. I pointed to it under the glass so that part of the conversation went well. After he was done he stood there staring down at the counter for a solid minute before asking me "What kind of ham was this again?" "It's chicken." "Oh... I can't find it on the list." He shows me the list he's looking at. It is a list of hams. It says that it is a list of hams right at the top of the list in big bold letters. "That is chicken. Chicken is not a ham. You are not going to find chicken anywhere on a list of hams. Go find the other list." "Oh. They all look the same to me." He just stands there, completely dumbfounded and unable to process anything that is happening around him. Finally some other kid tells him what numbers to punch in. This kid needs to go back to preschool and whoever's doing the hiring needs to ask some better questions. read more

I went to get a sandwich, Flowers and some wine. I always stop here when I go to the airport. I got stuck in the parking lot and went to speak with the Manager to help me and without hesitation he took care of my needs. This is a great store with great food and an awesome staff and store manager. I highly recommend you shop here if you have the chance. read more

Expensive groceries but awesome bakery selection. I don't really shop for groceries here since I have a Lucky's near my house. However, that being said, I do make the 10-15 minute drive (I know, so far right?) just to go to their bakery. Pretty large selection of morning treats... just be aware that they tend to sell out of their fresh goods by the late afternoon. What prompted me to write this review in the first place was the taste of their chocolate croissants. I absolutely LOVE them. If any of you like the Starbucks chocolate croissant, I guarantee you will love the one from Lunardi's! It's a lot bigger & tastes very fresh. There are also little chocolate chips on the top of the croissant which are not only adorable but also yummy! I normally like my croissants toasted but these ones are so good that I can eat them without it being toasted. Ahhhhhhhh! Please never stop making the delicious chocolate croissants, Lunardis! read more

Update: I got a call from Bryce, the operations manager, and he squared a few things up. Thank you Bryce for the attentive, customer service and great operational. Follow up. Food is great . Ambiance is so so. Service is pretty Bad. But the service is not bad from all employees here. I've been shopping here for often on for about seven years now. Today, Thursday, May 18 at around 9:30 AM I was there to pick up some breakfast for my fiancé and daughter. I am standing there at the breakfast counter, and I literally stood there for about 10 minutes. While all the workers walked around and never acknowledged me once. A particular worker who was working on a cake by the name of PATTY notice that I got frustrated and proceeded to tell me she's not supposed to help me that the workers in the deli are supposed to help me. Patty proceeded to advise me that I needed to get in touch with the workers in the deli, all the while Patty had numerous opportunities to communicate with one of her coworkers that there was customers at the breakfast counter. For whatever reason when I brought that to Patty's attention, she responded "sir that's not my responsibility" (I can't make this stuff up) . First of all if you're an employee, add an establishment you are all one team regardless of your specific job category. Customers pay the bills end of story. Management really needs to get this girl some training ASAP. Absolutely ridiculous. Linardi's prices should reflect their customer service and vice versa. I hope lunardis management sees this and does something about it. read more

I ordered tri tip, pasta salad and mashed potatoes from the deli and pastry bites from the bakery for a party on 7/27. Everyone loved it! To Catering Manager, Alicia, thank you for ensuring that the order was ready and packed well for transport! What a great place to order food for parties!! I would not hesitate to recommend! read more

I went here on a Friday for the first time and I thought the service was great! A real departure from what I've come to expect in SF proper. The prepared foods are gorgeous. When I went up to the deli the team was cleaning and didn't notice me. When I announced myself they actually apologized for not seeing me, which was unnecessary but so sweet! read more

I would give it a 5 star if the guy in the meat department wasn't a complete stuck up asshole with attitude . He never smiles and goes out his way to upset me . For example I asked for meat from a guy at the deli and he voluntarily comes over to tell me they can't accommodate my request , ( MIND U THERES OTHERS IN LINE THAT HE CAN HELP ) " no we can't do that " when I asked why he gave a bs response , in short it was because he didn't want to . Again it's a great place everything is amazing except for certain workers and this old man with glasses in particular is not good in customer service . read more

Bad experience at meat department, the clerk was angry and rude; I honestly felt he was being prejudiced. The clerk at the meat department was an older maybe Hindu or Fiji; there was no line of customer's waiting for service only me. The man seem disgusted that I ask about the product I wanted to purchase and angry to have to tend to me maybe...: Lunardi's offers a great selection of products and the quality is really good but honestly I have experienced this type of behavior in different occasions and I have seen it happen to others there as well. I really believe that a person that treat others in such a way have no right to work in customer service, maybe a job in the back of the store would be more suitable for that type of people. For now I will take my business to other stores where they train their employees on great customer service and the negative impact of being prejudiced. read more

Was very disappointed that one rude person spoils everything for the other staff that seemed very friendly and helpful. This review is for the meat department. I went there wanting to purchase prime rib and walked up to one of the butchers who already showed to have a very rude attitude especially when I had to ask him to check in the back if they had bigger cuts. To make a long story short he wouldn't cut the meat as per what I requested then gave me a "you cannot afford it vibe" just because I'm an Asian woman wearing sweats and a hat... whatever the case if you don't want to help people don't work at a job which requires you to have customer service skills and to work with people! Don't also assume that you are better than them especially if we are the ones purchasing from your grocery store and basically the ones contributing to your paycheck. Very disappointed that a grocery store such as Lunardi's would even hire people that would deter you from buying there again! Sorry you lost a customer and would not recommend visiting the meat department... Although, I can say that the manager and cashier staff was very friendly and helpful.. read more
