I love this place, and been going here for almost 10 years. High points are the Rueben, their turkey sandwich and the deviled eggs are a must for every visit. (Get the sandwich version of it.) They have great deli items and salads as well. What's this place lacks in pretension is makes up in the warmth of the people behind the counter. If you want showcase a bougie $32 sub for your Instagram followers, don't go here. If you a great sandwich that won't kill your credit line, this is the place. (Please Note: I make a point to read the 1-star reviews. The people/bots who complained about this place would give a 1-Star review to a doctor who cured them of Stage-4 cancer.) read more

So good! Def a hit for lunch. Ordered the Sam's special because I couldn't decide and it was really good! Toasted my bread and the guy even put the peppers on the side for me! I was originally planning to only eat half but it was so good that I ate both halves besides sandwiches, there's also a wall of wines and different types of snacks all around read more

Rossi’s Deli - Sam's Special Sandwich - Delis Near Me - San Francisco, California

Rossi's is right in the heart of the Castro across the street from the Castro theater. This is a great spot to grab snacks, sandwiches, drinks for a nice park day, also with very reasonable prices. I was craving a sando after the gym, it was a nice day so I wanted to sit at Dolores park to eat. I got a tuna salad sandwich with all the fixings on Dutch crunch. The guys working there were all really nice, helped me right away. The space is small, packed with every snack-drink-deli option possible!! The sandwich was so big, all the fixings were fresh, it was so satisfying! I loved it. The price was also good. If you're looking for a quick lunch, snack, you should stop by! I will be back when I need a sandwich and snack for sure. read more

Service was great! Sandwich was ho-hum. Dutch crunch bread was either stale or not toasted long enough and fresh roasted turkey was okay. Maybe I went on an off day/time; they had lots of good looking things in the deli case. read more

Very big sandwiches. Great place right across from Castro Theatre. They have plenty of Turkish and German food there as well.

Deviled eggs? Man, I didn't know they make and sell deviled eggs until I read about it in an Eater article. Next time. Meantime I come here when I have a hankering for a dependably girthy sandwich that will completely sate me. A really great one is Sam's Special, slices of ham, turkey, salami and provolone on Dutch crunch (photo: https://yelp.to/BrPjSxMZ2-). Straightforward and satisfying, it's comparable to any of the cold sandwiches I get at Molinari or Yellow Submarine. They're also really efficient, so what's not to like about the operation here? FOOD - 5 stars...an excellent sandwich AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...small shop conveniently located on Castro right outside the MUNI station SERVICE - 4.5 stars...pretty fast compared to other delis TOTAL - 5 stars...deviled eggs make this place even more perfect RELATED - Exploring the Castro?

Falafel was amazing! Lots of veggies and hummus, moist and huge. I asked for spicy and it was just perfect. The folks who run the deli are so nice. A wonderful neighborhood spot read more

Avogobble turkey sandwich was fantastic! Asked the gentleman behind the counter for a recommendation and he pointed me to the right choice. Easy spot to pull up and get a quick and well priced lunch as a cute neighborhood fixture. read more

Had the pastrami on sourdough. I told myself I'd wait until I got off BART to eat but took a bite...and that's all she wrote. That mug never made it to Coliseum station. read more

No way this place deserves 4+ stars. It's reasonably local to me, and I've given them a chance several times, and the experience has been consistently poor. First off, they seem constitutionaly incapable of getting an order right. Every time I've been there they have screwed something up. For example, the most recent time they forgot to put cheese on a sandwich that was supposed to have it, and put tomato on one that we specifically asked to not have it. Second, the meat quality is just not great. It's not bad, but you can do much better at any number of other places in the City. Honestly, the sandwiches from the Safeway deli counter are twice as good. And don't even get me started on a real sandwich place like Limoncello. read more

More like a solid 3.5. Came to Rossi's for a quick to go lunch and was very pleasantly surprised. I heard a lot about the Avogobble sandwich and ordered that on Dutch Crunch. Everyone working there was super friendly and nice and I liked that I could customize the sandwich pretty much as much as I wanted. The bread was nicely toasted and there is a generous filling of Turkey (maybe a bit too much Turkey for me). The flavor was good but I wish it had a little more spice and mustard and maybe more avocado. It is a huge sandwich for $10.75 so I definitely think its worth it. Would come back here again. read more

Been going here for nearly 3 years, I am a student, and they always have the best bagel out for me in less than 5. It's insanely cheap, and I am so grateful it's the main reason I keep coming back, plus all of the super friendly faces THANK U ALL VERY MUCH. read more

Date: Tuesday, December 27th, 2022 What: late lunch delivery Time Ordered: around 2:15pm Time Received: around 2:45pm How: DoorDash Delivered to: Outer Richmond *Reuben Sandwich: Corned beef, swiss, and sauerkraut. Includes mustard, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, peperoncino, jalapeno, oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Light Rye ($12.50) *Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Bagel: Everything Bagel ($7.95) *Lox, Bagel, and Cream Cheese: Nova Lox, Cream Cheese, Capers, Onions, Tomatoes, Everything Bagel ($10.95) I was craving both a Reuben and a Bagel with lox. After looking around on DoorDash and Yelp for a bit, I found Rossi's Delicatessen. I was only going to order one of the above, but the hubby suggested splitting the reuben and we could each get a bagel sandwich. Sounded like a perfect solution to me! The reuben was warm, melty, and tasty. I did wish there was more mustard tho. Luckily we had some at home, so problem solved! The Bagel and Lox hit the spot, tho I like hella cream cheese on my bagels. I found myself wishing there was an option to add extra cream cheese. Good thing my trusty fridge came to the rescue again as I had some on hand. I didn't try the hubby's bagel sando, but it looked standard and he seemed to enjoy it. I was originally going to order from another more well known Jewish Delicatessen, but I didn't want to spend around $20 each for a sandwich. Glad I found Rossi's. read more

Cute deli and stopped in for a sandwich while on my way home. Everyone was really friendly and sandwich was made quickly. I got the smoked turkey sandwich on a wheat roll and nearly everything on it. Bread was good texture, fresh, and soft inside. Plenty of filling inside and all stayed put and was not falling out which made it easy to eat. Prices were good and especially for the size of the sandwich. Plenty of other items to order and buy besides a sandwich but definitely recommend. read more

Love this place! Sandwiches are always amazing and you get a lot for your money! Loyal customer for life!

The guy at the counter is super nice! Very cheerful, offers suggestions, when I couldn't decide between light or dark rye bread, he said he could do one slice of each on the Reuben! I appreciate that they offer bagel sandwiches, like a PB&J, which I got for my kids. * Prosciutto Sandwich - 4 stars. Soft fresh meat, and lots of it. * Reuben - 4 stars. Tasty! My husband's go-to sandwich and he liked this. read more

Rossi's has wonderful sandwiches and deli food. Their sandwiches are great. If i am having folks over, I will order up Rossi's sandwiches and cut them into 4 - my guests love them! Staff is friendly and food is great! I highly recommend! read more

Saw Rossi's Deli on the way to catch the bus and decided to stop by for some quick breakfast sandwich. I was in between choices and ended up with the Sausage, egg and cheese bagel (everything bagel). Well priced being in the city and everything was freshly made in front of you. Not sure if it's all homemade but it was good, wouldn't say the best but definitely filled me up half the day. I did also try their piroshky and i thought it was ok, felt like needed more flavor, the dough was good though, crusty and crispy. Would come back to try the other sandwiches since everyone seems to order more compare to their breakfast options. read more

Rossi’s Deli - Sausage, Egg & Cheese on a Everything but Bagel \\ @sofullsouleater - Delis Near Me - San Francisco, California

If you're on the hunt for some delicious bagels, you should definitely stop by Rossi's Deli. Their sausage, egg, and cheese bagel as well as the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel are both savory choices that I highly recommend. Not only is the food excellent, but the service is top-notch too. The staff always greet customers with a smile and are more than happy to offer recommendations on what to order. Personally, I also enjoyed the deli feel that you get while walking in where you're able to pick up a bottle of wine with your bagel. Overall, Rossi's Deli is a fantastic spot for a satisfying breakfast or brunch. read more

Really disappointed in this place. I placed my order ahead via Yelp since I needed to get a quick morning bite before work.I was excited to try this place out given their reviews. The picture of my BURNT egg, sausage, cheese bagel says it all. I can't believe they have the tenacity to serve a burnt bagel and expect me to eat this. I paid nearly 8 dollars for this and was mostly not edible. This says a lot about the lack of effort, quality, consistency and care for their customers. read more

Rossi’s Deli - BURNT Ham, Egg and Cheese Bagel. Don't eat here! - Delis Near Me - San Francisco, California

WHEN: 11/27 Saturday @ 5pm My family and I came to Castro and walked around since we were already in SF. The whole city is super busy and lively with dancers in the streets and people getting drunk at bars. Right smack in the middle of all the chaos is Rossi's Deli! I had this place bookmarked while I was looking at different places to eat in SF for delicious and cheap sandwiches (none of that boujee stuff). For such a small place, they have an enormous food selection. They have cold foods, hot foods, freshly made sandwiches, lots of cheeses, alcohol, and groceries. What we ordered: 1) Italian Combo Sandwich on wheat bread ($10) - Packed with meat and freshly made. The sandwich was cheap, huge, and toasted :) 2) Beef and mushroom piroshki ($4) - Great filling to bread ratio and the flavors went really well together. 3) Spinach and mushroom piroshki ($4) - Not too good. Consisted of 80% thick bread and barely any filling. 4) Taboleh ($8 for 1 pint) - Fresh and just the right amount of flavors Overall, definitely come here for the sandwiches! I've heard great things about them and they live up to the hype. The store is family owned and the employees are attentive and know what they're doing! read more

Just close you're awful. I hope Uber gives me back the money I spent on literally the worst meatloaf sandwich I've ever had. Also what was the point of charging for cheese you never gave me on a sandwich that fell apart at first bite. Thanks for making this an awful experience. You guys should shutter. You're bad at what you do. read more

I've walked by this deli many times in the Castro. I probably went in once or twice. I decided to try the sandwiches today and I had the reuben to start. You know me and reubens my fave sandwich. Sauerkraut, Thousand Island dressing, and beef. It's tasty. This one was simple and pretty good. I would try a different sandwich sometime. Nice family service. read more

For a takeout deli, the food is great. I had a falafel sandwich that was delicious, in fact, better than most sit down restaurants. The man at the counter was courteous, pleasant, professional, and the wait was very short. read more

Huge hankering tonight for a sandwich, but most of the sandwich shops are shut at this hour. I used DoorDash and ordered the godfather, which I have to say is one of the best damn sandwiches I've ever had. They are not shy on meat or condiments. I was not sure if they would accommodate, but I'm not able to eat the really thick rolls and requested sliced toasted sourdough and they accommodated that request. No problem definitely will be ordering again. read more

This review is specifically for take out orders I've done from Rossi's Deli via DoorDash. In case anyone plans to order from here via DoorDash, here is the review of my experiences :) I ordered sandwiches here a couple of times and was hoping this would be my new fav sandwich spot. The first time I ordered here, my partner's order was correct and all special instructions were followed however my order was incorrect (they included cheese and sauces even though I specifically asked to remove). My partner raved at how delicious his hot honey Turkey sandwich was and how he really enjoyed the sweet roll bread. My sandwich was incorrect and had cheese and Mayo despite specifically asking to have it removed. Another time we ordered, both our orders were incorrect and it seemed they decided to make their versions of the sandwiches we had custom ordered. For my sandwich (both the 1st and 2nd time), I ended up having to remove the cheese (I'm lactose intolerant) and scrape off the sauce, which I specifically asked to remove. For my partner's sandwich, they had added veggies he specifically requested to removed and then put mayo which he specified he didn't want. We really wanted to like this spot because the quality of their meat and rolls (each item individually) tasted really great but the sandwiches as a whole was unfortunately a miss cus of the added unwanted items :(. Maybe we will check this deli out in-person and it'll be a totally different experience. read more

Big sandwiches and reasonably priced. Did not have enough tomatoes and had too much lettuce and onions but at least I know what to ask for next time. Very friendly and efficient. read more

This is one of the best sandwiches in the Bay Area. I've grabbed sandwiches off and on from here for literally decades, and virtually nothing has changed. I stopped in recently to get one of my favorite sandos, roast beef & cheddar on sourdough roll, to take to two Giants games. Plenty of tasty meat, plenty of nice fresh veggies, but let's face it, it's the bread that makes or breaks a sandwich and the sourdough rolls here are some of the best you can get. They are not skimpy, with good crust, good chew, and good tang. The plethora of filling ingredients also means that the sandwich is pleasantly messy. The one substantial napkin they provide (they are not cheap here either) turns out to be not enough. Which I'm OK with! While costing slightly more than similar sandwiches you'd get at grocery store deli counters, even in the heart of the Castro these sandos are a couple to several dollars cheaper than inferior products from other Bay Area deli shops. The folks inside are always friendly and provide quick service. And if you have room after you finish the massive sandwich, do try the yummy devils eggs. read more

Amazing sandwiches. Great service. Cool spot in the Castro... definitely recommended this place.

Really great deli. I felt like I was in the east coast

Food is (relatively) cheap, but you get what you pay for. And no matter how clear I am about what toppings/condiments I want, they never get it right. The owner is also rude. He talks with friends on the phone constantly, ignoring customers. He answered a call in the middle of checking me out, and when I asked if I could get my change, he called me impatient and refused to give me my change until his call was finished. I stopped giving them my business. I would not be upset if they went out of business. read more

SANDWICH: The Italian Combo. I got mine w/o mayo and added extra meat, and oil & vinegar. Bread was delicious, crisp on inside and soft and giving on the inside without overbearing the sandwich. Lettuce crisp, and tomato brigh red. Fresh throughout, I was expecting more meat, especially since I paid for more, but I suspect they may have forgotten to add. It's my first sandwich there in a long time, so I will go back one of these days and update here. . UPDATE: The general consensus from my peeps on Facebook that frequent Rossi's, say my extra meat was surely forgotten. read more

This is the biggest secret on Castro St. It is impossible to find a super amazing falafel in the whole city, but theirs is good. Their other sandwiches are very generous and worth the price. BUT the people working here are so sweet:) If you're someone who likes to chat with the people at your deli/bodega you should come here. People who know the Castro know this is the best place for a good sandwich to go. They all have surprisingly great cheeses and little deli treats and salads. Y'all are doing it right:) read more

Best deli! They are the kindest people and their homemade deli items are delicious. The usual items in my order are: falafel, hummus, edamame salad, dolmas and deviled eggs. Highly recommend this spot for sandwiches and deli items. read more

Convenience store and deli in the Castro. It's a small store, but they carry a large selection of drinks, alcoholic beverages, dry goods, cleaning products, and food. Rossi's also features a full deli and a selection of prepared foods. They do have lottery tickets and scratchers. My favorite is the panettone bread they carry seasonally. Staff is friendly. Parking is street parking only and is usually not too easy. There is a public parking lot across the street or behind the building. read more

This family run business has it all. Fresh salads, (my favorite is the Basil Pesto pasta salad, waaaaay better than Mollie Stones . . . Just sayin') The make awesome and fresh sandwiches, and have a wide variety of fresh meats, cheeses, and breads. They make a fabulous patê, that I eat with some of the varied crackers they sell. They are my store, when I am in the Castro. I even get my lottery tickets there!
