Awesome authentic Italian deli! The Molinari special Italian combo may be one of the best sandwiches we've ever eaten! We went back three times during our time in San Francisco and even made sure to grab a sandwich for our flight back home! Sooo good!!

The best deli ever! Everything is always super fresh! They import from Sicily. I have to get the olives and prosciutto every time I’m in town!

Probably, nay definitely the best Italian sandwich I’ve had since visiting Florence. Seriously outstanding job. And the guys behind the counter so friendly. Had quite a bit of a queue, but take a number as soon as you get there then peruse the shelves. Or just wait patently in line. Either way you won’t regret it.BTW, We had the Luciano special, one hot one mild, both with the rosemary focaccia. Both equally tasty.

A classic Italian deli. The board didn't list the two sharp cheeses. I didn't particularly like their sausage and peppers cooked in wine. Loved the rosemary roll. I'll go back and try the Chicken Parm. Service was great, nice guys. They shared some prosciutto which was delicious. Great atmosphere. Outside tables to eat at.

The service was very good, everyone was so nice and the sandwich was bomb.com. The shop is also very cozy and cute.

As a foodie nerd, I don't usually eat sandwiches while traveling, but Molinari's is legendary and was featured on an Anthony Bourdain episode. And it lived up to expectations! I hear lunch time was crowded, but I showed up at 9:30am with just couple extra customers, no wait! (Note: if you don't mind paying an extra couple bucks, you could also order online in advance, saving precious travel minutes). $14.75 Luciano Special: Prosciutto di Parma, Sweet or Hot Coppa, Fresh Mozzarella, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Onions, and Lettuce on Grilled Focaccia Bread...sounds fairly simple, but this was a magical and majestic combination of cured meats, buttery hot focaccia, and more...DELICIOUS! It makes for a weird breakfast, but it's damn good! A few tables are outside to enjoy your food and people watch. Friendly staff. The deli itself is filled with interesting and fun Italian goodies, albeit very expensive.

Classic North Beach deli. As much a cultural experience as a culinary one. You can't go wrong here.
