We came here for lunch after a flight from Texas. It was conveniently down the hill from our hotel, and since we both love a great sandwich, this place looked very promising. Happily, it delivered! We split the porchetta sandwich, which was quite tasty. Now, I will say it is not quite at the gold-standard level of the porchetta sandwich from the Roli Roti truck in San Francisco, but that is an extremely high bar. The bread here was fantastic, and the sandwich itself was full of flavor. The inside is cute, and watching two guys dedicate their lives to making sandwiches in the open kitchen is part of the fun... I also spotted a tray coming out of the oven that looked like thick, PERFECTLY crispy bacon, - so whatever sandwich that was going into is definitely what I'm ordering if I ever get here again. One warning, though: I hate the chairs. I am not a skinny person, and these chairs are just uncomfortable. There, I said it. Great sandwiches, fun little spot, and I would absolutely come back. Just please, someone, rethink those chairs!
Salumi is a solid sandwich shop in the heart of downtown and a convenient stop if you're exploring the nearby stadiums and attractions. We ordered the Meatball Sub and Eggplant Sub with marinara sauce. Both sandwiches were flavorful and satisfying. The meatball sub was hearty and comforting, while the eggplant sub had a rich marinara sauce that worked well with the sandwich. We were especially disappointed that the Cubano was sold out, as it was one of the main reasons we stopped by. The only drawback was the price--at around $20 per sandwich, it felt a bit expensive for what you get, especially considering it was just a 6-inch sub, even though the quality was good. We visited during a FIFA World Cup match, so the line was quite long, but it moved steadily and efficiently. No complaints there. The atmosphere is casual and straightforward, with indoor seating only. Its downtown location near the stadiums makes it a convenient spot for a quick meal before or after an event. Overall, a good sandwich shop with quality food, though the pricing keeps it from being a must-visit. I'd still come back to finally try that Cubano.
Been wanting the try the eggplant parm sandwich for a while and it did not disappoint! The bread was crispy and the filling was warm with different textures from the eggplant and cheese. Loved it paired with the marinara dip. It was a little small for the price.
If you've searched for good sandwiches in Seattle, you already know this place. I was honestly a little skeptical going in -- super hyped, all over social media, you know how that goes. But it delivered. You order on a tablet when you walk in, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. It's a smallish spot without a ton of seating, but enough to sit down comfortably. Got the eggplant parm and the porchetta, plus the potato kale soup. All of it was great. The porchetta in particular was loaded -- in the best way. Couldn't finish it in one sitting but it made an excellent leftover. Fair warning, it's on the greasier side, but the pickled bell peppers and chimichurri do a great job balancing it out. Would go back when I'm in the mood for a solid, hearty warm sandwich. The hype is earned.
Salumi is a Pioneer Square staple. Perfect for a grab and go lunch or quick bite. My favorite is the Meatball Sub. The Marinara to dip the sandwich in is not pictured but it adds to the deliciousness. Service is always speedy and I love the vibe of being amongst locals or workers on their lunch breaks here.
One of my favorite sandwiches and at a decent price for the area. Service is pretty quick and not waiting too long even if there's a bit of a line initially
Oh my goodness! I was visiting my friend in Washington and we stopped here right after the airport. Best decision ever. We ordered ahead because this place does get a little busy. Service was quick and staff super welcoming! The sandwiches were so delicious, the bread was perfect, and all the flavors blended well together. I devoured the entire thing so quickly. Definitely a must try spot if you're in the area.
Somehow wafting through the closed entryway, a savory meaty, bacon-like aroma permeates the air at least a block down Jackson St. from Salumi. It's just a taste of what's to come at this classic brick-walled and wooden-floored sandwich shop on Occidental. Inside, a single kiosk guides guests through the ordering process, while an open kitchen invites all to see how the food is prepared. Four employees staff the kitchen - one in the back slicing fresh meat, one working the oven, loading it with beautiful slices of bacon (which explains the tantalizing aroma!), and two in the front, on sandwich duty. Orders take around 10 to 15 minutes to assemble; there's plenty of seating both inside and out for the wait. I visited for lunch on a brisk but sunny Wednesday 30 minutes before noon. While Salumi wasn't too busy at that time, guests started filtering in after me and soon the shop was bustling. Braised Porchetta ($17) - This is a huge sandwich, almost 10 inches in length on a rather large baguette, handily beating most of the competition around Seattle in terms of size. The baguette is served untoasted, instead being rather lukewarm to cold. There is barely any crust to speak of; it's probably been softened by sitting in the higher humidity of the Seattle autumn. The interior still remains relatively moist and chewy, with a clearly developed long dough ferment. I'm not sure who the supplier is, but I'm sure it's an excellent baguette when fresh. On the interior, they spread a generous layer of their chimichurri. It adds a certain herbalness and the tiniest bit of heat along with a strong garlic forward flavor. It's fatty and not particularly tangy, making me think of it more like a garlic herb butter rather than chimichurri. On the bottom of the sandwich they add a mixture of softened onions and pickled green peppers. Both are served cold. The onions add a bit of a sweet fragrance while the pickling of the peppers enhances the crunch and adds a bit of acidity, which is well needed to cut through some of the porky fat in the sandwich. On top of the veggies is a veritable mound of pork, steaming with heat. It's less sliced porchetta, and more roasted pulled pork. Regardless of the name, the pork itself is outstanding. It's extremely tender and absolutely dripping with juices, with the oils squeezing out all over my fingers and landing on the butcher paper underneath. Now that all sounds delicious, but there are two things holding it back from being a top tier sandwich. Firstly is the baguette - again it really needs that crusty exterior to hold everything together. Secondly, the cold mix of veggies on the bottom doesn't play well together temperature-wise with the hot pork on top. It's certainly clashes and was one of the first things I noticed with my initial bite. With that all being said, it's still definitely a great sandwich and easy worthy of a 5* review. (5/5) I'll be back. I need to give that Cubano a try. And the Meatball Sub. And the Muffo. And the Grindhouse. I might as well go for the entire menu... Bathrooms - Larger rooms with multiple stalls shared with the other businesses in the building. Requires a code that is posted on the door to the common area towards the back of the restaurant.
Nothing like a sandwich shop that comes packed with meat and flavor! It's a laid back spot with quick and prompt service. It's a true butcher shop vibe and the sandwiches are killer. We had heard about it from way back when Anthony Bourdain came to Seattle and it did not disappoint! Highly recommend!
Cubano sandwich - 4.5/5 Delicious! Crispy texture, immaculate flavors, and soft pork shoulder. Points were docked off because bread a was bit too crispy and would have enjoyed more sauce. Highly recommend, price is normal for Seattle.
I've been in search of a solid sandwich in Seattle and Salumi was on my list to try. From the reviews I've seen online it seems like the eggplant parm is the fan favorite, but I wanted something with meat for my first experience; something that leaves a good first impression that gives me a reason to come back. So with that being said, I went with the braised porchetta, which seemed to be the 2nd fan favorite. Getting there: I went around 11am. Hoping to avoid any lunch rush, I decided to order online and just pick it up. Parking is absolutely horrible. Street parking is extremely limited. Even all the loading zones were full. I eventually gave in and parked in a nearby parking garage. It's not the business's fault. Just a heads up for anyone interested in going there. Ambiance: Upon arrival, there wasn't too many people there. Everyone seemed to have been served and just waiting for their food. They had cured meat was available for purchase. Seating was limited to maybe about 20 people. There were a few tables by the window and the rest of the seats were at the "diner-style" bar. There were also a wall mounted bar tables for anyone that wanted to stand and eat. Since it wasn't busy, I decided to just eat there. Service: Even though I ordered ahead, my sandwich wasn't ready for me. I would normally be upset about that, but I didn't show up on time and I was afraid my sandwich would be soggy. I told them I was picking up an order and they made it fresh on the spot. I really appreciated that they waited because it worked out in my favor. I'm sure if it was busy, my order would be ready. Food: The sandwich was a reasonable size. About a foot long or so and jammed pack with porchetta. I could barely see the ingredients at first, but they are there! First bite was a bit tough. I wasn't expecting the bread to be a little hard and chewy. The texture is very similar to sourdough. It took some time to get used to, but the hardness helped maintain its shape with all the wet meat. The porchetta was very tender. Slightly too tender by itself, but it helped balance the hardness of the bread. The meat was little bland, but that's there the Calabrian chili chimichurri, roasted onions, and pickled peppers come in. The chimichurri adds a slight tangy and buttery like flavor to the mix. Then the onions adds some savory sweetness. But I think the pickled peppers were the star of the show. It added a small kick that ties all the other flavors together. I've had some bites with and without the peppers. It really makes the whole sandwich stand out. Without it, it would be just an ordinary sandwich imo. Overall I thought it was pretty solid, but it would be better if the bread was softer and the meat had a little more flavor. Final thoughts: I think this place was worth checking out. I've had a good first experience and I would like to return to try the eggplant parm and something with their cured meats.
Sandwich heaven! That's all I can say about Salumi. They serve up the highest quality meats paired with perfectly absorbent bread that soaks up every drop of juicy goodness. We tried the Braised Porchetta and the Cubano, and both absolutely blew my mind. The Porchetta was packed with succulent, juicy meat, topped with amazing pickled onions and a Calabrian chili chimichurri that perfectly cut through the richness and fattiness of the pork. The Cubano was just as stunning--super crispy, with a great balance between the salty pork shoulder and ham, complemented by tangy Dijon and pickles. I came here two days in a row for lunch while in Seattle, and it's officially on my must-visit list for the city.
Salumi is BOMB. I got the rec from a friend of a friend, and we came on july 4, 2025 around 2p. There was no parking immediately out front so we ended up just barely finding a spot like 2 blocks away. Because it was a holiday, they were not charging for street parking thankfully! When we came in there was a short line, it moved fast. It took about 15-20 mins for our food to be ready. Will also say, they close at 3p so we just barely caught them around 2, but even so - they were sold out of SEVERAL items. The sandwich I originally wanted (porchetta) wasn't available so I ended up getting one of their cold sandwiches with olive tapenade. It was SUPER filling, and really tasty! My mom got the mushroom based hot sandwich that comes with dipping marinara and we both also liked it. We had some cherries as well that we bought at rainier and by the end of lunch we were both stuffed, and didn't even eat dinner that night because we were still full. Including tax and tip I think it had cost like $44? Really wasn't too bad!! Would definitely come back to try other sandwiches. Just wish they were open a little later for dinner but I think they close @3p every day (according to Google).

Thankful there was no wait..... but I would have! This place rocks! I believe they pickle their own veggies and do something extra special with the meats. The cold cut sandy was everything. Add a cookie and you have a perfect lunch Love the old school eat in bar with stools. Everyone was super friendly. Don't forget to recycle your rubber bands ;) read more

Good sandwich but I was anticipating it to be better honestly. Had the meatball sub, I didn't like the sauce being on the side and damn near served boiling, thought the sauce also should have had more flavor but it could be just my taste preference also. The meatballs were themselves were good but had I known it was served like this I probably wouldn't have ordered it. Also tried a sopressato and provolone, loved the onions and spread but think this sandwich would have been better if it was hot. read more
Awesome sandwich shop!!! I got a cubano, which I feel like you cant go wrong with getting, but the cherry on top was how CRISPY they made the ciabatta bun. My bf got the porchetta and that thing was soo juicy and dripping a ton from the chimichurri i think so wouldn't recommend if you're on a first date lol but this one was also really good, esp with the pickled bell pepper! read more

So I was starving after getting off the train from Portland. I checked the Yelp for a well-rated place and settled in this Salumi place. This place is a phenomenon! The sandwiches are HUGE. And the meat...oh boy! It was so delicious!!!! $18 a sandwich is worth it because I could only eat one of the two halves. So I really paid $9 per meal (one at the place, one at my hotel room.) I thought that a bargain. Everyone served me excellently with friendliness and kind answers to my newbie questions. I personally really liked the atmosphere. It wasn't noisy with too loud music like some of the nearby places. read more

The first piece of advice we have is if you're coming at lunchtime, order ahead, as there is a solid wait time. The food just about justifies the wait as the quality of the bread, meat, and veggies are all pretty high. We did think the cubano was a little bit too fatty; overwhelmed the other flavors and made for a greasy experience. read more

Wonderful little gem in the middle of no man's land. Pioneer Square is one of Seattles oldest neighborhoods with turn of the century brick buildings. After our Seattle underground tour my husband just wanted a sandwich. We found Salumi on Yelp. The place is clean with cheerful staff. We ordered the meatball sandwich which was huge!!!! And I ordered a Salumi sandwich which was good but I preferred the baguette used in the meatball sandwich. The baguette is outstanding! It's fun and was nostalgic for me. We had Italian sandwich places like this growing up in North Beach San Francisco when it really was an Italian hood. read more

This place is in no need of another review, So I write to share my own experience with their food. The menu is simple with staples of Italian salami, But all the hot sandwiches were sold out, unfortunately. Ordered the Legacy with hot sopressata, And May I tell you to try this, you've just gotta! Bread is fluffy and toppings are crisp, This is a cold sandwich option you don't want to miss. Four stars for service, quality ingredients & flavor, Very happy we visited and sat outside to savor! read more

Nothing new here to add about Salumi's impressive list of hot and cold sandwiches, salads, sides and extras. The focus here is on Coro by Salumi, which offers a wide array of old world salamis and speciality meats, and ships them nationwide. We recently ordered both pancetta (uncured pork belly) and guanciale (uncured pork jowels) from Coro and found the quality and flavor of both meats to be simply outstanding. Reasonably priced, carefully packaged, prompt shipping. Though we live down in Portland, Seattle's Coro by Salumi is now among our go-to butcher shops. read more

After hearing about this place, and lamenting about the change of owners, I decided to give it a try...no more long lines, on a Friday at 3:00pm was fairly empty. Despite what some reviewers here said I went ahead and ordered the Meatball Sub! Took about 10 minutes to make since several people had ordered in front of me. I added on hot peppers because I like it hot! The bread was (Almost) too hard. Just soft enough otherwise everything would have squeezed out the ends! The sauce made it get softer by the time I ate the second half...the taste was good. The cheese was high quality, grilled onions helped, and the special sauce was good. The meatballs themselves were OK. Soft and with a veal like taste. Overall a very good meatball sub. The best ever? No. But definitely above average! (They also have a bathroom with a combo lock) read more

Located near the Pioneer Square area, Salumi is a great cured meats deli that specializes in salami. They serve all types of salami as well as other pork cuts like guanciale which we had to buy some in addition to the sandwiches. We ordered the porchetta and hot Sopressata sandwiches. Served with peppers and onions, the porchetta had a great tender bite with a lot of flavor from the juices. It does get a little dry once you get towards the middle but overall it was a great sandwich. The Sopressata is served cold so don't expect melted cheese etc. That being said we did heat it up later on and it definitely elevated the sandwich and made it a lot tastier. The bread used for both sandwiches were fantastic and we recommend warming up the sandwiches we got, even for the porchetta as it allowed more juices to come out and seep into the delicious bread. read more

Been wanting to check this place out for many years and finally made time for it. However, it was a little disappointing. We got the meatball sub and the grinder but both lack flavor and expensive for what you get. read more

Overall great lunch. The porchetta sandwich was on point but could have used some crunch contrast. The Caesar Salad big and full of extras like asparagus and radishes - the dressing is a little anchovies heavy, but some will fancy that. read more
For the love of Italian subs! Yummmm! Salumi is super cute and let's face it. Who hasn't been here by now? Super famous too since way back when. Italian style deli/ meat counter with sandwiches. Much more hip, clean and modern touch. Also made popular by the late Anthony bourdain since he declared this a favorite spot! They sell all kinds of Italian meat, cheeses and condiments to go. Drinks, wine in a can! It's just fun. The subs are cold, hot or special. Cold cuts are a must but hot Italian sandwiches: definitely a comfort food for me. The guys that work here are nice. I was able to decide, get my 2 sandwiches ( one cold cut, one hot) and drinks in 10 minutes. Porchetta: this is my favorite and goto since porchetta is a kind of an occasion when we make it in the family. Literally your Italian uncle bringing that young pig, Papa slow roasting while we ate caprese, cheese etc. That crispy crackling skin. It's an event. I always get porchetta when I see it on the menu for the nostalgia of it. This one didn't quite taste Italian ( the spices almost tasted like bbq), but it was tasty. The cold cut! Salami Muffo ($17) was delicious. Hot salami, cotto salami, provolone and olive tamponade. Tasty! They have a few chairs and tables inside as well as the counter. Love that exposed wall, chalk boards menu and of course, the smell of all things Italian cured meat. They have banh mi sandwiches on the menu as well as others. But the cured meat is where is at. Perfectly cured! read more

I used to eat at Salumi when they were in a tiny hole-in-the-wall twenty years ago with my young children. They are still making great cured meats and sandwiches to put them in. I had the Grindhouse sandwich. The balance between the meat and cheese with the acid of the pickles and mustard was perfect! The bread was very fresh. The sandwich was made in about three minutes. This place still rocks. read more
