Lucca food deli & wine shop

An employee was hacking his lungs out in the store. As we walked in, the same employee was walking out for a smoke. We approached a lady who was eating her own sandwich right over the sandwich station getting her crumbs everywhere. No problem, we won't be having the toppings from that side of the station. She then tells us to wait while she gets the sandwich chef to come make the sandwich. Turns out it was the lung hacking guy who was out for a smoke. I was expecting him to wash his hands but all he did was squeeze a bit of hand sanitizer. Well at least he put on some fresh gloves before making the sandwich otherwise I would've walked out. I ordered the dutch crunch and I gotta say it tasted like the bag was left open all night. It was so stale. The toppings inside were good though. This place really fell off. I'll give it an extra star for the good memories I had of this place from a few years ago.

Best sandwiches in the neighborhood! I recommend the turkey club with avocado on dutch crunch.

One of the Best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. This is my go to whenever I am working in San Francisco nearby. 10/10 recommend stopping here. They also have tons of other snacks and goodies.

The first time I ordered from this deli, it was delicious! I ordered thru DoorDash. Beautifully put together porchetta sandwich, delicious chocolate brownie and potato salad. Everything couldn't have been better! I ordered thru DoorDash again last night...7/14/25. First , they forgot to put the brownie in the bag(I called the store. They did forget) DoorDash did refund me for that.... I didn't open the sandwich until after I hung up with Lucca....the sandwich was Mortadella, onion and lettuce on Dutch Crunch w/Mayo. Pesto, mustard. The condiments were heavy. Sloppy, if you will. AND, instead of the mortadella being nicely sliced like it should've been, there was 1 inch thick cut chunks of mortadella on the sandwich!!!! Who in the hell makes a sandwich like this?(YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) you should be ashamed of yourself to serve that to anyone.
Never again!!! I was willing to forgive the brownie incident until I saw the sandwich. I did not order heavy condiments, I ordered 3 condiments and you applied them heavily....and if you had sliced mortadella on hand why was there one inch wide chunks of mortadella on my sandwich? It was like you sliced a wide chunk of mortadella and cut it up on my sandwich. Please do better for your patrons.

No kidding…the best pastrami on rye this side of NYC!

Spicy salami sandwich with provolone and everything on it.

Sandwich was great especially with the garlic sauce.

Owner was an honest person to have a conversation with.
