Salumeria di Bella

I live a few blocks away and didn't even know they had sandwiches, tried the Muffaletta, Sopressata dry salame etc.. $14.

SANDWICHES! LOVE them. I have been to Bella Trattoria (several times) and the more casual place (Osteria Bella) next door, this is the next attached storefront by the same owner (same kitchen I think). I have been wanting to try these sandwiches.The ain't cheap - But note they come with Chips - so don't buy a bag when you order at the counter. I have been specifically hankering the Porchetta sandwich - Roli Roti has the gold standard I think- but this is different - and what makes this one especially delicious, is the Italian cherry peppers inside (next time I am going to ask for extra peppers on the side.)The bread was very fluffy and light - kinda like a ciabatta bread, with lots of crunchy cornmeal on the outside. The pork itself is shaved thin and piled high with onions and cherry peppers. This is sorta the Italian version of a cheesesteak - but a "porksteak". I am going to go back and try the meatballl sub. AND, Osteria Bella next door (same owner) has a great looking happy hour ($5 bites and drinks) - I am going to go there soon!

Super cute venue with a cheerful and warm ambiance. Enjoyed a glass of wine with a friend and appreciated the friendly service - although a bit slow at times, they were very welcoming.Happy hour menu looked like it had some well priced gourmet options so I'm looking forward to returning to try them.

Can't believe I haven't written a review for this place yet. Such good sandwiches. The porchetta sandwich is so delicious and one of our favorites. We have also brought some bone marrow from here previously, and I roasted them at home.

The il classico sandwich is a very good one. I always find mortadella to be the odd man out in most italian combo sandwiches. It's got a more subtle flavor that can really get lost when there's salami and other more highly cured meats in the mix. So if you're having mortadella, I think it should generally be the only meat in the sandwich. The basically do that here and it works super well.

Salumeria di bella is part of the Bella Empire on Geary. It offers a few sandwiches and salads. We tried the porchetta sandwich with onion jam, hot cherry peppers, and a yellow mustard. The sandwich was loaded with meat on great bread. Delicious. We will be back to try more next time.

I don't really know what to make of this place. Sometimes I feel like tapping them on the shoulder and reminding them this is a restaurant. I've gotten some very solid sandwiches here. I've also had some VERY questionable service. The last time I ordered a sandwich from this place, I showed up, waited about 10 minutes, and after it became apparent staff had seen me repeatedly and simply not come over, I just walked out. And admittedly, I don't like doing that to a restaurant (ordering over the phone and not picking the order up), but if they care that little about a customer coming in, what am I supposed to do?So I dunno, if you're walking by and there's someone there, go ahead and order: the food would probably be good. But I really have a hard time recommending going out of your way in any way shape or form to get food from this place, unless you're willing to take the risk that you might just not receive service.

Got the Il Classico (mortadella, mozzarella, lettuce, tomato, mustard fig jam, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), red wine vinegar, cherry peppers). Really liked the mustard! Sandwich was overall good but I felt it would have been better if the bread was a bit harder.Glanced over to the fridge and saw some donuts balls filled with Nutella. Got 5 for $6. It was good! Lots of filling. I think it'd be better warm so we're going to save some for home.Would definitely come back if I'm in the area!

Come here if you want to wait almost an hour around lunch time for 3 sandwiches. There were only 3 other tables. Bartender was cool at least.

Made our way here for lunch at noon on a saturday. Was excited to try their porchetta sandwich only to be told they don't have it. Come on! Was told the cooks have to focus on their other dishes. Asked them when can I come back to try it and was told to come back in 4 days.Came back again today and was told the same BS. Why have it on the menu if you're always out? Came all the way across the city twice to waste my time. Do better Bella Salumeria.
