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.

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.

Braised Porchetta sandwich
Mike S.

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!

BLT
Jamillah S.

Best sandwich I have had in the city recently. Never could go wrong with a BLT fresh bread and fresh ingredients. Open kitchen concept so I saw them making the bread. Workers chill and still welcoming despite being in an afternoon rush. If you're in Pioneer Square area and craving a sandwich come here!

Huge Sandwich
Albert T.

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.

Eggplant parmesan
Louise F.

Delicious sandwich. I got the eggplant parmesan and while I took a few bites of the other sandwiches that other people got, this one was actually by far my favorite. I also liked the porchetta but while the flavors for that one was great but ratio-wise it was actually a bit heavy on the pork. The eggplant parm though was perfect ratio-wise. And it came with marinara to dip in. The sandwich was texturally diverse, the bread fluffy but toasted to a great crisp, and the eggplant was really flavorful too. The marinara was so umami and probably one of the best marinara I've had. The sandwich was served piping hot and oops yeah I burned the roof of my mouth.

porchetta sandwich
Levi S.

The flavors were pretty good, but I expected the pork to be more flavorful. I was hoping for a richer, saltier taste. Service was typical for a lunchtime visit--nothing special. It's a standard deli with limited seating, mainly a grab-and-go spot. Portions are a good size for the price. Overall- Meh

Cubano sandwich
Sandra N.

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.

Braised Porchetta
Jason T.

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).

This spot has been a Seattle classic for a while, located in Pioneer Square and conveniently close to one of my favorite coffee roasters, Elm. I tried the Grinder ($17), a cold sandwich made with "house-made mortadella and salami, provolone, shredded iceberg lettuce, house-made dill pickle chips, Dijon mustard, mayo, and a red wine vinaigrette." The sandwich was well-constructed. The ingredients felt balanced. I liked that it didn't feel heavy or greasy, and the portion size was satisfying. That said, $17 for a cold sandwich (without sides) is steep. I've had sandwiches that were just as tasty, bigger, and meatier for less -- especially in cities like St. Louis. I get that Seattle prices are what they are, but still. Of course, we all know their famed eggplant parm sandwich. If I'm ever in the mood for sandwiches + no meat, I'd be open to giving it a try.

Porchetta sandwich
Hajir S.

I will start by saying their sandwiches are absolutely fantastic! Five stars for these sandwiches, the porchetta is amazing - how you eat it as one person I'm not sure, and why is the size so different than the cubano for nearly the same price, I also don't know...but leave that up to the Salumi gods to answer. Every sandwich here is great - though the Porchetta you must try - it's really special! Good things take a while to make, and that is the issue here - it is VERY HARD to get your sandwich in an orderly manner and on time. Like if you try to go during the lunch rush it is crazed! Also why are the hours so short - I would eat this for dinner! But truly, you need to order online and then probably expect to wait a bit longer than desired for that sandwich. You'll be happy once you eat it, but yeah - it's not easy. Also pro trip, add cheese to that porchetta sandwich - like why not go all in if you're going in!

Salami and Cheese Muffo
Emily N.

So happy that this place is still open! I come into office every so often after the pandemic and was so glad to see Salumi still up and running. My favorite sandwich spot for lunch. Everything on the menu is delicious, but if I had to choose, can never go wrong with the muffo. Thick sandwich with yummy Italian cut meats. The second picture also shows the salami and cheese (fresh mozz) and that is also delicious!

He's been eating here basically his whole life. Second guy had lived here for 40 years and said this was somehow his first time ever trying it, even though he'd walked past it forever and always meant to stop in. We stood there talking for a while. Really good guy. The woman behind the counter did not speak English, so I got to tell her in my very limited Spanish, "Thank you very much for your work. It looks beautiful. I really appreciate it." She answered me in Spanish, and then I had to admit, also in Spanish, that I was very sorry but I did not understand Spanish, I only barely know how to speak it. She laughed. I laughed. It was great. Then I got back home, opened the box they split for me and my mom, and this was half of it: best Reuben I have ever had in my life. Just one of those unexpectedly great little trip moments. Good food, good people, good conversation, and one of those places that feels like it's been holding onto a piece of the city for a long time.

This week, we did a perfect surf & turf : wagyu steak and Chilean sea bass - complete with accompaniments. The fish was flaky and the steak was perfectly seasoned, seared and medium rare. As I was setting up drinks, I was the last one at the table. The steaks were sitting there and everyone had stopped eating. When I asked how it was, I was told "Try it, tell us what you think". I sliced into the steak. It looked amazing. I bit in. BUT afte a chew, I stopped eating it. The beef was definitely 'off' andd spoiled - which explained why no one was eating it. Fortunately, it was surf & turf night so we still had enough to eat. But after paying wagyu prices and lovingly cooking the steak, the disappointment was beyond words. Obviously I will call the store as I want to make sure they pull the remaining inventory from theirr display. At this point, my husband is worried as he had three bites as he presumed the aftertaste was from the truffle sauce I had drizzled. Now, he's worried that he will get sick. I guess time will tell. So FYI --- make sure you check the original dates of the meat before they cut/vaccum seal. Long story short - I hope they read this and review their QA processs to ensure all meats are dated/rotated/stored.
