It seems like every neighborhood in San Francisco has their own Italian deli, but the best, of course, is in North Beach. Molinari Delicatessen churns out the best Italian sandwiches. Simple, but satisfying its not a surprise that their take on classic Italian sandwiches is so popular.
Similar to Lucca (see post HERE) in the Marina, to order anything here, first take a number. If you are getting sandwiches make sure you walk over to the sandwich bin on the left side of the store and pick out your bread of choice and hand it off when your number is called.

Not surprisingly, the line at Molinari can get atrociously long, but there are plenty of Italian treats like dried salumis, canned goods, and sauces to look at while you are waiting.
Each sandwich is made with freshly sliced meats.
Usually my nose wrinkles a little when I see the words, "sun dried tomatoes", but the Renzo Special has to be one of the few items I've eaten where it works. Paper thin slices of prosciutto, coppa, fresh mozzarella, and sun dried tomatoes between your choice of bread is so simple, but amazingly delicious. Not too much meat, the perfect creamy mozzarella, and just a hint of chewy sun dried tomatoes is utter perfection. Though, this sandwich does have a horrible habit of getting stuck in your teeth..
