"Molinari Delicatessen is in the North Beach tourist zone, but substandard money-suck this is not. The Italian spot is a temple of house-cured meats. Customize your sandwich, or go with something off the menu of specials—the Renzo, with silky prosciutto, mozzarella, and sun-dried tomatoes, is our favorite. Settle in at nearby Washington Square Park, and munch away while you contemplate a gelato run for dessert." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
