"The top of Lafayette Park is where to sit on a bench and romanticize your SF life. But not without a trip to Limoncello first. Their sandwiches have flawless, high-quality Italian fillings—they’ll make you pledge your lunch allegiance to this spot forever. Go with the Mafioso, a knockout loaded with mortadella, prosciutto, bacon, and turkey, plus pepperoncinis for that zippy tang." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
"At Limoncello in Lower Nob Hill, sausages hang over a loaded deli case, shoppers browse the aisles of shelves stocked with every Quadratini and San Pellegrino flavor, and friendly staff wraps up sandwiches behind the counter. Those sandwiches are the main reason we return to this Italian deli as often as Adele sings a tear-jerking ballad. The fillings are classic Italian, from tissue-thin mortadella and hot coppa to eggplant parmesan and spicy marinara meatballs. We’re always pulled toward the Mafioso. Getting the stunner stuffed with mortadella, prosciutto, bacon, and turkey, plus pepperoncinis for added tang is the best decision you’ll make today." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"Limoncello is the neighborhood’s Italian deli heaven. The sandwiches coming out of this heavily trafficked counter hit the ideal ratios between bread, filling, and toppings. Classic meat options, like hot coppa and thinly shaved mortadella, along with other Italian standbys including eggplant parmesan and spicy marinara meatballs, are all fantastic. While you wait for your handheld lunch to be sliced and stuffed, you can wander the market aisles that are stocked with tons of Quadratini and San Pellegrino." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway
