    Mediterranean Vegetarian Sandwich
    Chloe' A.

    I decided to get lunch here while working in Sausalito. The ladies behind the counter were nice and the service was super quick. Many options for vegetarian folks and meat eaters alike. They put a twist on their sandwiches that makes them really special. Sandwich tasted fresh, the ingredients really spoke for themselves. Alittle more expensive than usual for me but worth trying atleast once. There's also alittle market inside full of wine, candy, cold drinks and more. Worth a stop in if you find yourself in the area.

    Ordering system is slightly disorganized (you essentially walk up to the counter, staff ignore you, you think you're in the wrong place, then someone acknowledges you to redirect you to the ordering counter but doesn't take your order), but the food is great. I got a clam chowder cup (they were out of bread bowls unfortunately), but it was delicious and perfect for a cold rainy day: thick, piping hot, and super savory. Would definitely come again to try their sandwiches! Appreciate that they have a decent amount of indoor and outdoor seating too, and the casual atmosphere means a table is bound to clear out by the time you're done ordering and pick up your food.

    Italian House Special Sandwich

    This place was just what we needed to recharge after a beautiful hike. The restaurant was lively and I like how there is fresh cuts of meat in the window. I ordered an Italian House Sandwich on Dutch Crunch bread it was delicious. I admire how the bread has a just the right amount of thickness to absorb the layer sauce in each bite. The service was quick and easy with an order in one place and pay at the next station.

    While enjoying an afternoon is Sausalito, we stumbled upon the Venice Gourmet. It is nothing fancy on the interior, but the food was great. There were a variety of sandwiches and other items to choose from. You order at the counter, and then there are a few tables to sit at, or you can take lunch to go. We dined in, and very much enjoyed our sandwiches. I had the California club, and my daughter had pastrami and Swiss. The sandwiches were large and very satisfying. The freshly baked sourdough bread was fantastic!

    $6.50 per slice of pepperoni pizza

    We stopped by the smaller pizzeria side of this business since the deli/store was too crowded. My husband just wanted drinks, and my son and I couldn't resist the sliced pepperoni pizza. The pizza slices were huge and filled a medium sized to-go box. The pepperoni was greasy. Tasty though, with perfectly crispy thin dough. 2 huge slices, 2 canned sodas, and a small tip came out to $21. We thought it would cost more since it's in such a busy touristy spot. The cashier didn't greet us, just talked to someone away from the register for a few minutes. He didn't smile or say a word besides the total. Now I wish I lowered the tip even more. I would've given 4 stars if they had better service.

    Couldn't decide what to eat in Sausalito, given the limited dining options in this picturesque seaside town, so I dropped in for a cup of clam chowder. It's essentially an Italian market selling grocery and sandwiches...and clam chowder (not very Italian LOL). Also not very Italian were the Spanish-speaking staff and the loud Latin music blasting from the speakers (I was hoping for some Venetian gondola songs played on a mandolin.) The clam chowder was not bad, a bit too watery for my liking. The ocean view was amazing. Old Fisherman Grotto in Monterey still has my vote for the best clam chowder.

    Good place to get tomato soup to warm up by the waters in Sausalito. I got the tomato soup cup (price: $8.95, including tax (9.25%): $9.78) and it was very delicious. They added for some courteous and cheese on top which was a nice touch. This tomato soup is not as creamy as other ones I've had. It's more a vegetable soup broth consistency, but it's just as enjoyable. I came in on a Saturday in November and there wasn't any line to order, so I was able to order quickly and my food came out shortly after. Since there wasn't that many people I managed to get a table and had a nice view of the Sausalito waters! The inside feels like a speciality Italian grocery store. It reminds me of another Italian grocery/sandwich shop I used to visit and it feels very cozy. They have a counter where you can order food like sandwiches, salads, and soups. They have many tables inside as well as outside. Parking: It was a bit difficult to find parking in Sausalito downtown, since many of the lots were full. We managed to get a spot after another car pulled out. It was a paid lot (through ParkMobile I believe).

    Sausalito Turkey Sandwich

    After visiting the bridge, we decided to continue our bike ride to Sausalito. It's such a cute spot with so many places to eat and this place seemed pretty popular so we decided to give it a go. We locked our bikes a little ways down the street and headed to the deli. We ordered at the counter and they gave us a number. We walked around the shop to look at all the fun snacks, paid at the side counter, and then waited a few more minutes for our sandwiches. There are a few tables inside but we lucked out and grabbed one of the tables outside. I tried the Sausalito turkey sandwich on a sourdough roll which hit the spot. Fresh and filling. Perfect fuel for the bike ride back to San Francisco.

    Delicious garden salad with avocado and BBQ tri-tip sandwich were great. Nice weather to sit outside and enjoy our lunch.

    Super disappointed. The bread was dry... snd when I opened the sandwich I knew why.. they didn't even cover the bread with mustard.. it looks like a 3 year old made it. It was unbalanced, the bread tasted 1 day old and they forgot ingredients. Super disappointed.

We were in the area hoping to get some fresh coastal air and looking for something simple and non-complicated to eat like a sandwich. This was exactly what I needed. This old school deli has an entire wall of refrigerators with every type of drink that fits your needs -water, juices, soda, beer, wine, and everything in between. There are plenty of sandwich options and plenty of refrigerated side dishes available to go with them. The owners were lovely (and patient). My daughter ordered a reuben on dark rye. I ordered pastrami on sliced sourdough. We each took half of the other's and shared a bag of air baked Kettle chips. We initially thought we would take our sandwiches to go and find a spot to eat them on a bench along the water side. However, there were several tables in the back, both indoor and outdoor in the garden. It was a perfect sunny, mild day and it was not terribly busy during this time, so we chose to enjoy our sandwiches there on a table next to open French doors. Five stars for food, service, and location. I'm always happy to support a small, local

We usually sit in the park behind the deli and look at the house boats while we eat our sandwiches. So nice. I love the sandwiches because they make all the meats and toppings fresh every day and create really creative, delicious sandwiches. It's hard to find sandwiches with real homemade meats and lots of veggies and homemade sauces that aren't mustard or Russian dressing. I also love the Twerks, which is the delicious veggie topping combo you can get on your sandwiches: Spinach, Arugula, Cucumber, Carrots, Radish, Beets, Green Sprouts & Bean Sprouts, Salt, Fresh Lemon, Pepper, Roasted Garlic and Roasted Red Bell Pepper Sauces. I usually get the turkey pesto melt with the twerks, and it's a top five sandwich. I dream about it. I've tried some of the veggie wraps, my partner loves the pork sandwiches, and my daughter gets a grilled cheese on Dutch crunch. All delicious. The only negative is that the sandwiches are expensive and take a while but the quality and flavor make it worth it. We usually call ahead to order so we don't have to wait long.

They no longer serve the Buffalo soft serve because the company was bought out and now they use the Buffalo milk for other items like cheese and no longer sell it for soft serve. Love this little market and if I move to Sausalito, I would be coming here quite often. And not just for the soft serve. They have a lot of very interesting items here. The items are all marked up a bit but otherwise good quality items and the food looks good. I've enjoyed their hot lunch here. All the prepare Foods look good too.

Your herbal soda was likely $6. So you likely were inadvertently overcharged (it happens with some of the older ladies who do check out), and you should have brought it up right then.

What a busy body. Anyway, no, i didn't know what i was charged until i left the store. As anyone can probably attest to, pretty often these days when being rung up, the checker doesn't say the total anymore - they just scan your items and tell you to tap. So no, i didn't know what i was being charged at the time but this doesn't make the egregious pricing my fault, but nice try "Christopher B."
