Teani's Italian Deli

Original Little Lucca owner serves authentic Italian sandwiches with famous garlic sauce in a nostalgic setting filled with historical artifacts.

Teani's Italian Deli on El Camino Real in South San Francisco pairs a substantial sandwich selection with an old-fashioned deli setting. Vintage objects and black-and-white photographs give the room personality, while garlic spread provides a recognizable thread through its sandwich offerings. We like how those small details make an everyday lunch stop feel individual. Turkey, roast beef, pastrami, and Italian combinations offer familiar choices, with sourdough and Dutch crunch among the bread options. The Venice brings turkey, bacon, and avocado together, while seafood salad offers a different direction. Potato salad can round out the meal without complicating the order. Teani's appeal is its mix of classic deli combinations and a nostalgic neighborhood atmosphere, suited to a casual lunch or a sandwich picked up for later.
