Lucca - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. Upon entering, I observed an employee who was coughing significantly. This same employee then left for a smoke break. We approached a lady who was eating her own sandwich directly over the sandwich station, causing crumbs to scatter. She instructed us to wait for the sandwich chef, who turned out to be the same employee who had been coughing and smoking. I expected him to wash his hands, but he only used hand sanitizer before putting on new gloves. While I appreciated the fresh gloves, the overall hygiene concern was present. The Dutch crunch I ordered tasted stale, as if the bag had been left open overnight. However, the toppings themselves were good. This place has really fallen off. I'm giving an extra star for past positive memories.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the best sandwiches in the neighborhood. I highly recommend the turkey club with avocado on dutch crunch. It was a delicious lunch, and the price per person was between $10–20. The service was take-out.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had one of the best pastrami sandwiches I have ever tasted. It's become my go-to spot whenever I'm working nearby in San Francisco. I 10/10 recommend stopping here. They also offer a wide variety of other snacks and goodies.

My first experience ordering from this deli via DoorDash was delicious! The porchetta sandwich was beautifully put together, and the chocolate brownie and potato salad were also excellent. Everything was perfect. However, my second order last night (7/14/25) was a different story. First, they forgot to include the brownie in the bag. I called the store, and they confirmed the mistake. DoorDash did refund me for the brownie. The real issue, though, was the sandwich. I ordered a Mortadella sandwich with onion and lettuce on Dutch Crunch with mayo, pesto, and mustard. The condiments were applied too heavily, making it sloppy. More importantly, instead of nicely sliced mortadella, the sandwich contained 1-inch thick chunks of mortadella. I was willing to overlook the missing brownie, but the sandwich preparation was unacceptable. I did not request heavy condiments, and I question why they would use such large chunks of mortadella when sliced mortadella should have been available. It seemed like they just cut up a large piece of mortadella and put it on the sandwich. Please, do better for your patrons.

My experience at the restaurant was centered around their beer selection. While I didn't try any sandwiches, they offered a nice selection of good beer. I particularly enjoyed a Delirium and a Pliny the Elder.

My experience at this deli was fantastic! They truly excel in the fundamentals, offering great bread, cheese, and meats. I was thoroughly impressed and would definitely come back.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the spicy salami sandwich with provolone and everything on it, and it was great, especially with the garlic sauce. The owner was an honest person to have a conversation with. They even had a humorous sign: “If you don’t like graffiti look away. ” The food, service, and atmosphere all received a perfect 5/5 rating.

I have been to this Lucca Food Deli & Wine Shop several times, and it's a cool Italian grocery store that makes interesting sandwiches. Not only that, they also sell big & mini size liquor bottles. I ended up buying myself a small mini size Myers Rum bottle! If you like buying small mini liquor bottles, try going to Lucca Food Deli & Wine Shop!

My experience was that this place is massively overpriced. It would be better to use any of the other nearby corner stores that aren't trying to grift you.

In my opinion, this place is overrated. The food quality doesn't justify a 4. 9 rating. I believe there are plenty of better deli places in SF.
