Delicious sandwiches! Also, grabbed some other Italian grocery items and drinks. Truly felt like an authentic Italian deli. Would definitely go back! read more

Came to Salumeria to pick up dinner on a Friday night and was so happy to of found this gem! Salumeria is a true Italian deli with a ton of great sandwiches, take home meals like lasagna, and a range of desserts. You can certainly order online and pick up (as I did!) but there is more available in store so it's also worth placing an order in person. There isn't much of a place to wait or sit so whether you order online or in person prepare to take your meal to go. It's a very straight forward deli counter. No frills but lots of treats. The prices are extremely reasonable and dare I say cheap for the quality and portions. My meatball sub was delicious!!! The bread was the real standout for me -- so soft and pillowy. I also had to have a cannoli and no complaints it totally hit the spot. Happy to have this amazing spot for a quick lunch or dinner in the neighborhood! read more

Stumbled across this place recently, just for a quick lunch, it was excellent, authentic tastes, very good salad. Not giving 5 stars because we only had a couple things, so don't know enough about the other dishes. read more

Do not mistake Salumeria 2703 for their sister location in Noma! She has all the makings for an authentic Italian deli, while the other is a sit down restaurant (and no their sister restaurant will not let you purchase deli meats, I've already asked). They have almost everything that you can think of ,from homemade tiramisu, to gelato, and even the ever elusive stracciatella. However, if you're looking for something specific then I would call ahead. read more

Delicious sandwiches!!! Big portion on a freshly baked bread and reasonably priced. Service was excellent by 2 native Italians. We had the Bresaula, Salami, and Italian meat ball with eggplant sandwiches. All were good. If you are in the area, definitely give it a try! read more

Wonderful little sandwich shop tucked in a nook on 12th Street. Easy to miss if you're not looking for it, but what a gem when you are. The counter has a good selection of Italian meats and cheeses, and single portion foods like small lasagnas to take home and cook. I jones for a good meatball sub sometimes, and figured this was a good candidate to try out. Sooo right. Absolutely delicious homemade bread, and the meatballs were perfect. Also highly recommend the Porchetta sandwich with cooked zucchini. Along with a small but nice selection of wines, and meat/cheese platters for parties, this little place really represents more than its size implies. read more

My first time here! I live close enough, but honestly just forget it's here. It's a fantastic Italian deli and I'll be coming back! I came for fresh mozzarella and a variety of cured meats for a sandwich. I left with hot sopressata, hot capicola, and Genova salami, fresh mozzarella, and artichoke hearts. Everything was fantastic, but the marinated artichoke hearts were really the standout! It wasn't super acidic and tangy like I'm used to. It was mildly flavored and tender--yum! There were some other pickled items, plenty of Italian groceries, and some other cheeses. Please note parmigiano reggiano is a solid $15/lb! As of this review, Trader Joe's is selling the same imported cheese for $17/lb--this alone is a significant win. They serve sandwiches and some other deli items. Also plenty of desserts from cakes, frozen treats, and cannolli. Haven't had any of those, but I'll give it a go at some point. read more

Great place to stop in for lunch! It's strictly deli style so there is not any seating but our food was ready very fast. Very authentic Italian feel. We ordered the Italian and the chicken parmesan sandwiches. We were very impressed by the quality of the bread and other ingredients used. Very fresh and filling. We also purchased some cannoli which were some of the best shells we have had. read more

Definition of a hidden gem! Their sandwiches, gelato (we've tried almost all the flavors by now), and imported Italian goods are truly unmatched in the city.

Wow!!! This place is the real deal. Homemade bread, fresh sliced high quality meats, and melt in your mouth mozzarella.. it doesn't get much better than this. Every time I travel, I look for a great Italian deli. I am so excited I found this place! I am not completely clear about what to call it, as the signage says something like "pizza and ice cream", but you won't miss it if you look for the gelato window facing the street. The staff (who sounded Italian) recommended I eat at a nearby park, and it was a wonderful place to enjoy my food (there are no tables in the store). I ordered 2 sandwiches, because I couldn't decide. One was prosciutto/mozz/basil/evoo, and it was ok. But the star of the show was the bufala - buffalo mozz/salami/roasted red peppers. Absolutely incredible. The bread, just wow! And the cheese was absolutely top notch also. I can't wait to try the house made pasta the next time I'm in town! These sandwiches literally made my week. Love, love, love this place!!! read more

Salumeria 2703 - Bufala sandwich - wow!!! - Delis Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Ordered three sandwiches from the NoMa location and was excited to try them given the great reviews and write-up in The Post. We got the Italian, Crudo, and Chicken Parmesan. The Italian and Crudo had pathetic amounts of meat. It was liking eating a bread sandwich. I've noticed this trend more and more where restaurants skimp on the protein, and it ruins otherwise good food. I don't know if it's a way of cutting costs or lack of quality control or carelessness, but it's disappointing and dishonest. These sandwiches aren't cheap, so the most basic expectation is that they will have an amount of meat suitable for dense bread. Subway does a better job of portioning at half the cost! If you need to cut corners to stay afloat, it's probably time to move on. read more

Great little Italian shop - sandwiches are pretty good and gelato is delicious. Same ownership as menomale next door. Will definitely return to try more! They also have dry goods to purchase. read more

If you miss Europe, take the Metro to Brookland and walk to Salumeria. This small Italian deli will transport you back to Rome. The cured meats hanging from the ceiling, the wine on the shelves, and the deli menu will have you coming back for more. It's owned by nearby Menomale, a top rated pizzeria, and open for lunch and dinner. They bake Italian pastries (canoles, brownies, etc), pasta salads and an array of sandwiches. Their top seller "The Italian" is excellent coming with several meats on a hard Italian sub. Their crudo sandwich for $9.50 is really good. Note: Their sandwiches don't have as much meat on them compared to other delis like Seventh Hill or Mangialardo's. The staff are super helpful, friendly, and honest. The worker told me what was good and what wasn't the best, which is helpful and makes me trust her. If you want a good deli, venture up to Brookland, grab a sandwich, and wander the beautiful streets of Brookland. read more

Cozy and clean, this "autentico" Italian deli (one of the co-proprietors is a native of Italy) gets a nod from me for effort and quality. Walk in this place and Europe abounds on the shelves. A relative newcomer in the deli business, it's a logical extension of Menomale, the pizzeria found a few doors away and owned by the same husband-wife team who manage this business. Both are hands-on and it shows positively. Salumeria bakes its own bread and this makes their sandwiches a cut above other competitors in the neighborhood. The selection of sammies is limited, but respectable. The refrigerated case has a variety of meats, cheeses and other prepared foods. I appreciate the cerignola olives--fat, unblemished, solid. The dry goods, sweets and booze are selectively chosen and well done. The tiramisu is made in Scilly (it's frozen and shipped here) and is a favorite of mine. While the majority of items come from Italy, there are products from other Western and Eastern European nations too. "Continuate cosi", Maria and Ettore. read more

I wish I could give them 5 stars. If I had to recommend 1 deli in DC this would be it. This is an amazing traditional deli. I felt like a kid in a candy shop with the cannolis, traditional Italian beverages, and amazing menu. The service was great and I was recommended the prosciutto which was hand cut in front of me. 10/10, I'm going to come back and have everything on the menu. read more

Quick Links: Deli Menu - https://salumeria2703.com/#menu The Space: Salumeria 2703 is a small space. It doesn't have seating just shelves with pantry items lining one wall and across from that is the counter with pastries and deli items. They also have a gelato station that is accessible from an outdoor window if you don't feel like going inside. The Service: The service was alright. When I walked in with my roommates, the two workers seemed annoyed that people came in. Then when I ordered my sandwich, my roommate mentioned that the girl making it rolled her eyes when I ordered. So, not sure if it was me or if they were just having a bad day. The Food/Drink: The food options are pretty standard for a grab and go Italian deli. I got the salmone sandwich ($13), which consisted of tomatoes, ricotta, and a generous amount of Atlantic smoked salmon. I would definitely get this sandwich again. I also got a pint of the strawberry limoncello gelato ($15) and although the cashier warned me that it was more lemon than strawberry, I was disappointed to see that the strawberry was pretty much nonexistent. However, it was still delicious and I would go back to get other flavors. There were a couple of misses keeping this place from being a 5 star but I will definitely be back to try new things. read more

Salumeria 2703 is probably the cutest little Italian market that I've ever seen! Located in the Brookland 'hood, this market is owned by Menomale owners, Ettore and Maria Rusciano. The cases hold marinated and roasted veggies (such as oyster mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant, and olives), cold cuts, cheeses (they also have housemade mozzarella), housemade pastas, and housemade sauces (marinara, alfredo, and pesto). There are also shelves that have imported olive oil, cookies, flour, jams, vinegar, and beverages. Baskets are available to place items for purchase. When we walked in, there was freshly-baked bread, so we had to get one of those (make sure you consume this right away; sop it with the lasagna sauce!). We also purchased two bags of the housemade fettuccine, the housemade alfredo sauce, and the housemade lasagnas (meat and spinach). The lasagnas are quick to heat, as it's just at 375 and 20 minutes (I cooked it longer for 40 minutes) - both were super delicious, as they were creamy, perfect sheets of lasagna pasta, seasoned sausages, and yummy spinach and ricotta combo! I wished that they served to-order sammies or pasta meals, but note that this place is just for you to stop-by after work to grab a few things to whip up a good meal at home. There isn't much room to move around as it is a small market, but it's adorable to look around. I'd love to come back and pick-up some of their meats and cheeses, as well as try out their pesto sauce. Limited free parking along 12th. +local Italian market +delicious to-go lasagnas! +meats, cheeses, and housemade pastas and sauces +housemade mozzarella available +limited free parking along 12th read more

Fantastico! A quaint little Italian deli in Brookland next to some of the best pizza in the city. I had seen this place some time ago (years now I think), but never really bothered to visit. I naturally went for one of their sandwiches. After a single bite I knew this sandwich was outstanding. Freshly made bread onsite with crispy exterior and chewy interior. Quality ingredients. It sings of goodness. Have yourself one too, you won't be disappointed. read more

They weren't the friendliest. And when I came here to buy one pepperoni stick I didn't expect to pay $10 for one. This place is robbing people blind and it's not nice. Pepperoni isn't even an import as it's not an Italian salami. I fee so cheated. read more

Small Italian deli with limited pantry items. I have only purchased sandwiches here and has to be one of the best in DC. The bread itself could be its own meal. So pillowy and fresh. I have only tried the Mediterranean sandwich. The olive oil they use for the sandwich tastes like they just pressed it. So good! read more

I recently moved to D.C. from lower Manhattan, where I was spoiled with phenomenal Italian sandwiches from the likes of Pisillo Panini, Regina's Grocery, and Chipilo. My first couple months down here, I was crestfallen not to be able find anywhere for a proper panino with arugula, fresh mozz, prosciutto, sopressata, roasted reds, and balsamic glaze. Then I found Salumeria 2703 and have been going about once a week ever since. On the strength of their sandwiches, I've started to think of D.C. as home. (No exaggeration.) The sandwiches are just unbelievable - the bread, in particular, may be the best, freshest Italian bread I've had anywhere. It's got a hint of sweetness to it, and it's a little softer than the bread at the aforementioned NYC, which I really like for the way it lets the meat and cheese take center stage. And the two Italian gentlemen who work at Salumeria 2703 are just delightful. They're always incredibly kind about accommodating my off-menu sandwich orders. I hope this place stays around forever. read more

A delightful little Italian deli in Brookland, about a 7-min walk from the Rhode Island Ave metro station. The bread, which is made in-house daily, is well made with a nice crunchy exterior and soft, bouncy interior. Their menu is extensive enough where you're guaranteed to find something you'll like and interested in trying the next time. My only gripe - and the main reason for the deduction in stars - is they skimp on the meat. For the price point and compared to other sandwich shops, the filling to break ratio is skewed a little too heavily towards bread. read more

Delicious sandwiches and a nice wine selection, plus lots of cool European grocery items you won't find in any other local stores. The prosciutto sandwich is my personal fave! read more

What a gem! This is the only place that I know of that offers fresh, authentic Italian goods. Between the wines, pastas, sauces, and desserts you cannot go wrong! We really enjoyed the cannolis, which rivaled Boston's famed North End cannoli shops. The tiramisu was also very tasty. Highly recommend swinging by menamole next door for a meal and then visiting Salumeria for dessert! read more

After dinner at Menomale, my fiancé and I walked over to grab some Italian desserts! While the market is small, it is PACKED with Italian goodies and premade food. They had lasagna, pasta, cured meats and cheeses, and much more. After exploring the shop, we settled on some cannolis and a tiramisu. The staff member helping us was really kind and also, for their cannolis, they fill it in the spot so you're guaranteed to end up with a crunchy shell! Our tiramisu was still frozen when we got home but honestly, we still ate it like that haha. If you're in the area, you should definitely pick up some delicious desserts! I'll need to come back to grab some of their sandwiches and that lasagna! I'm still dreaming of those cannolis so you know I'll be back! read more

I came in to pick up a sammie on a Sunday around noon. There were so many interesting things inside! On the suggestion of the guy behind the counter, I got the pesto sandwich, which was a caprese sandwich with pesto. My only complaint was the price - $13 for a caprese seemed steep. But of course, it was crazy delicious. The mozzerella was soooo flavorful and fresh, not like what you get at the grocery store. The bread was this perfect chewy but hard exterior that's hard to find outside the NJ/PHL/ NYC area, and held up to the pesto. I've also had their frozen eggplant parmigiana meal which was dynamite. So rich and creamy and tastes fresh even though it was frozen. A great place to stop if you don't know what to do for dinner. read more

Truly excellent sandwiches. Their shop itself doesn't sell much and could offer more variety but their sandwiches are top notch. I dream about the Mortadella and Ricotta sandwich. Bread is incredible. read more

Menomale is my favorite restaurant in the world. I've been to Italy several times, and somehow Menomale still has the best, most authentic pizza I've ever had. The sauce. I've asked before if I could buy it in bulk and was rebuffed. So when I found out the owners were opening a deli... RIP me. Prayers answered. I went today and my wildly high expectations were met. So many meats (imported and local), sauces and cheeses that are made fresh, in house. I spoke with the owner and he was very informative and friendly. I asked to buy a certain amount of the fresh mozzarella and he asked if I was planning on eating it today. When I told him "not all of it" he suggested that I buy a smaller amount, as it's not so good after a day or two. I always appreciate someone giving me helpful advice when it's at the expense of their own bottom line. And that sauce, I can finally buy it by the tub full. And I did. And I will. read more

Food was delivered by Uber Eats. The Italian sandwich was perfect. The bread was very fresh and the ingredients were plentiful.

The sandwiches were very good although a bit pricey! I loved that the guy working there got out an onion and sliced it while making our sandwiches, very fresh ingredients!

The sandwich is amazing thanks to their amazing bread. I ordered three sandwiches from them at once because of the reviews and was not disappointed: prosciutto, italian, and sopressata. They are carefully crafted, with just the right amount of basil on the prosciutto sandwich, just the right amount of dressing on the italian. It's the kind of food that you feel yourself absent-mindedly nodding to because each bite is so delicious. I ate one half of each sandwich in one sitting, and I am sooo tempted to eat another, and can't even decide which one I would choose because they're all so good and god am I gonna eat three sandwiches right now? read more

I'm so happy decent places are coming to Brentwood! Keep them coming! Note: I only came for dessert. The woman at the front was so helpful walking us through what desserts they had and gave us tips about what was good for the day. We ended up with tiramisu and an apricot filled doughnut. The tiramisu was a bit frozen so we let it thaw out at home but it was tasty for the cost and availability! Will definitely be coming back for some sandwiches. read more
