Heroic Italian San Francisco

Excellent food

I'm a long time customer of this Heroic so this review is way overdue but I just had a really nice experience yesterday and thought it was time to share what I think of this little gem. The food is so good (sandwiches, the calabrian shrimp, the meatballs, and their gluten free pizza to name a few of my faves) but the customer service that you get from David (the owner of Heroic) makes it exceptional. I find that it's rare anymore in the restaurant industry to get the level of customer service you get from him. He is so kind and so accommodating. You can tell that he truly genuinely cares what your experience is. Customer experience like this makes repeat customer in itself. Doesn't hurt that his food is DELISH as well.

The OMG sandwhich is my fav sandwhich in the city!!! Perfect ratio of goodies inside. It’s pretty expensive, about $20 for a sandwhich but ingredients are fresh and high quality

Came here for a late lunch. Beautiful people and incredible sandwiches. Didn’t plan to drink but they had a lovely red that paired too well with my sandwich.

Five stars for Heroic Italian! The Polpette sandwich and spicy tomato soup combo is non-negotiable. The food was phenomenal—hot, fresh, and seriously flavorful. The soup has a creamy texture with a nice kick of spice, and the sandwich is packed with delicious meatballs, peppers, and sweet caramelized onions. It truly is a perfect lunch spot, and you can enjoy it all alongside their expert wine selection. Stop in for a great meal!

Very good food. Prosciutto was amazing. The only reason I didn’t give more stars is the ordering is QR code and you pay and tip prior to being served. No waitstaff. Impersonal.

As a local neighbor and business owner, Herioic Italian has become my go-to to grab a quick bite and for most of my client luncheons. My favorites are the cesar salad with chicken, and the OMG sandwich. Yesteray, Dave and his crew surpassed all my expectations by catering a client event with 28 lunch boxes- with 4 different sandwiches... my guests kept telling me they were wowed at the presentation and couldn't get over how flavorful the sandwiches were; from the bread (deelish!) to the meats, not to mention the generous portions. I told 40 people all about how special your menu and restuarant is. Thanks, Dave to you and your crew for the fabulous lunches and the over-the-top service! I'll be back for more!

Honestly way too expensive for the size and for the lack of quality in ingredients I expected way more from the already SMALL sandwich
