Lucca is the old-school Italian-American deli of the Marina, family-owned since 1929. It’s a meaty sandwich destination, starring Italian combos with mortadella and salami, caprese with fresh mozzarella and prosciutto, and, needless to say, meatballs.

Elegant French viennoiserie is the specialty at this bakery and cafe, tucked down a side street just off Columbus Avenue. You’ll know it by the line of customers that often snakes down the sidewalk outside but it’s worth the wait for a thick slab of pate en croute or a jar of rustic, garlicky rillette de cochon served with sliced baguette and a medley of pickles. Snag one of the seats inside and enjoy your light fare with a canned cocktail or glass of wine.

Has the power lunch returned to downtown San Francisco? Yes, if you ask the folks at this Embarcadero fine dining destination, which reopened for lunch service Tuesday through Saturday earlier this spring. The menu includes decadent seafood options like oysters, as well as more approachable options like a fried fish sandwich, burger, and flatiron steak.

La Cocina’s long awaited food hall is open for weekday lunches only — but if you can work around the somewhat limited hours you can have your pick among options like smoked sausage and po-boys from Boug Cali, Estrellita’s Snack’s pupusas, guisados tacos courtesy Mi Morena, and more. There’s coffee from Fluid Cooperative Cafe for a post-lunch pick-me-up or cocktails over at La Paloma if your afternoon is headed the other way.

Couples haveliterally fallen in love overthe salads and wraps from Souvla, the Greek fast-casual mini chain. Is it the spit-roasted lamb? The harissa yogurt? The garlicky fries? Who can say, but don’t forget the Greek frozen yogurt with baklava crumbles for dessert.

Everyday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. you can swing by either of Devil’s Teeth’s locations, which sandwich the north and south sides of the park, for fresh baked cinnamon rolls and a sandwich. The breakfast sandwich served on a big, fluffy biscuit makes a respectable lunch but there are also more traditional lunch options like a BLT, tuna salad, or grilled cheese.

A former Horsefeather chef opened this sandwich spot near Alamo Square, because he likes taking a mortadella sub to the park with his pitbull. The sandwiches are simple, but the chef touches come through with lots of different spreads and toppings, from flavored mayos and housemade barbecue sauce to pickled and crispy onions.

Palm City calls itself the “premier westernmost hoagie destination in the country.” It’s an Outer Sunset cafe and wine shop where Dennis Cantwell and Monica Wong serve the Philly-style sandwich with mortadella, finocchiona, mozzarella, parmesan, arugula, and nduja mayo; traditional garlic roasted pork with broccoli raab, toma, and cherry pepper aioli; and a well-stuffed BLT. It’s open for seating at tables inside and out, first come, first served.

This casual pandemic-born shop is all about the pastrami, which is brined and cured in house in small batches. You can have it sliced and folded into several sandwiches; the Dutch Crunch feels particularly San Franciscan in that it’s served on the city’s favorite sandwich bread and smothered in muenster, pepperoncini spread, housemade pickles, and sprinkled with fresh dill. Take it to go or out back to enjoy on the restaurant’s hidden patio.

Peruvian chef Carlos Altamirano brought marinated meats and flaky empanadas to Valencia with this brightly decorated counter shop. The menu is built around beef, pork, and chicken served in sandwiches and on skewers, technically anticuchos, so be warned, this isn’t the light seafood fare you might be expecting.
