Little Italy in the Mission. You pick a number, get called and make your selections. The meat filled tortellini is approx $8/lb, they have freshly made fettuccine and a couple of other pastas in the deli. In the freezer, you will find spinach, pumpkin and cheese filled ravioli and their pesto sauce. Lots of cheeses and Italian meats (proscuitto, salami) choices. This place reminds me so much of the wonderful North Beach delis from my childhood days, many which are gone now. The counter has 5 servers and they're all friendly and waiting to help you. I found a box of Italian soft nougat candy for almost $8, typically sells for $10 at Victoria's Bakery in North Beach. And they sell Liguria Bakery foccacia bread if you can't make it to North Beach to buy fresh yourself. You can tell the place is frequented by regulars because the staff knows their customers by name.
Pros: Italian deli without having to go to North Beach
Cons: Parking
