Palermo II Delicatessen

Ambiance is a lowkey deli that you wouldn't even guess that you're about to have one of the best sandwiches of your life. Not that much parking. Service was nice and quick. I asked for recommendations for a cold and hot sandwich and I split with my friend so we can try 1/2 of each sandwich. This was the best idea I ever had because it was legit a tie. I had the hot chicken parm and the Reuben. I was moaning and smacking my lips with every bite and I HATE when I see people do that so it was ironic I was doing it. It was THAT good! I highly recommend this location. It was my first time in San Fran this past weekend and I'm glad I stumbled on this location for the perfect lunch. Tysm!

Food - We shared the north beach sandwich ($17), which includes pesto, Mayo, prosciutto, mozzarella, and tomato! The combo of prosciutto and mozzarella can't be beat. And just when you think the sandwich has enough meat, they keep packing on more and more. It was a panini pressed sandwich that was more than enough to serve two hungry adults. - I searched near and far in Europe for a sandwich to come close to this. I am so happy this place is in San Francisco! Service - Service is friendly and sufficient. - They have contactless pay! Ambiance - It is a small shop with many Italian ingredients to buy inside. - The menus are clear and abundant! Be sure to look around and find the sandwich you are really craving. Or you can make your own. Thanks for satisfying our sandwich craving!!!

Tasty little sandwiches at Palermo. I had the Don Gaetano sandwich (Italian combo of cold cuts w/Swiss cheese) $15.50. I really enjoyed the taste of their cold cuts. Very flavorful. The size of this sandwich is smaller than a Little Paris Vietnamese sandwich (see photo.) It is about 1/2 the size of a Little Lucca's sandwich down the peninsula. Regardless, it is a good solid sandwich. My small tuna salad $8.60 tasted alright. They don't put a lot of mayo or celery, which was nice. Good job everyone at Palermo.

Old style deli. Packed full of eye-catching things to buy. Cookies, wine, desserts. I came for the sandwich, the hugh sandwich for two people. I got the Palermo II special. A panini with freshly sliced prosciutto on a dutch. So much goodness. You can smell it. The filling is about a pound, okay close to it.how close? You have to get one to find out. Slightly salty, so have a drink nearby.

Delicious sandwiches! The owner Vince is really nice and runs a great shop.I ordered the Palermo II Special and walked over to Washington Square Park to enjoy it. Highly recommend!!!

In the best sandwich city in the country, this is one of the better delis. In addition to DIY, serves up standard "italian" sandwiches with ingredients such as coppa, artichoke hearts, pepperocini, etc. on various breads for between $13 and $16.Highly recommend The Palermo Special or the Rocketman. Meat is cut fresh for sandwiches (super well-cured but not too salty), ingredients appear very high quality, and sandwiches are big! Well worth the price. Some options have a lot going on but the quality of the ingredients really helps articulate the flavors. The only drawback is that the bread is pretty good but nothing to write home about.Only disclaimer is that I have not tried the "hot" sandwiches using pre-cooked cutlets, meatballs, etc.

Awesome, old school spot. I had "The Vince," a beautiful sandwich made primarily of amazing and fresh tasting mortadella. I often go to Molinari nearby. I think this is better.

I happened upon this place on one of my walks in north beach and decided to give it a try. Vibe check- pass....old school italiano deli with a menu to back it up! Owner was native SF and that came through in the foodFood Check- pass menu was nice I got the chicken parm sub, toasted bread not overpowering with cheese and sauce and chicken was not too oily. Me and my son split it and we both where happy Staff Check- Pass, two people in the shop where nice took the order and the time to speak which was nice. Felt like a local spot and you could taste the loveWill be back for sure and you should go as well!

this place was delicious and clean. good service. vegetarian friendly and in a good location.

Fresh ingredients, plenty of if sandwich choice and OMG the caprese sandwich is my favorite. Flavorful, fresh ingredients. You can taste the realMozzarella and tomatoes. It's a must
