Falletti Foods

Terrific local family-owned gourmet grocery store, revitalized and with historic roots in San Francisco. The shelves are packed from floor to ceiling with a wide selection of fresh, natural, and organic foods, including produce, deli items, baked goods, cooking ingredients, and packaged delicacies, with a good selection of Italian goods. They also sell toiletries, cooking utensils, toilet paper, and pet food. Pretty much everything you need under one roof! This business is in a lovely building, on the main floor of a new condo complex, alongside a few cafes and a coffee shop.

Wowser, what an incredible food market Falletti Foods is. Popped in for lunch and a delicious ham and cheese sandwich was prepared. So delicious.

This shop is so cute. Don't let the front of the store fool you. There is so much more in the back. High quality meats, cheese, bread, produce, and chocolates. Great selection for a quick grocery run. Also an array of pre-made items such as sushi, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, and other lunch items and salads. Don't forget the rotisserie is connected to the store as well. This shop is much bigger than I expected.

Street and a few spots in the tiny parking lot. Best to plan ahead. Walk, bike or use taxi/ride share. Great food selection, high prices. Nice staff. Bonus is the RT ROTISSERIE connected to it for 5 star eats that are healthy.

im a big fan of Falletti since they were located on Masonic & Fulton in mid 90s

Just out kickin dirt clods down on Broderick street and minding my own business..as usual, when I bump into the Skidoo family, Incadink and his wife Addoo with their little pomeranian Twentythree...And look! Right in front of Falletti Foods! They're going in for the hot prepared foods for dinner and invite me over for an Amazing meal. They live just a half block away and eat from the Falletti Foods prepared foods section every other night..it's their favorite to-go restaurant in the city. The food was Spectacular to say the least. 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆

A high end family own supermarkets that carry one of the hottest local ice cream! It is exciting to see Uji Time is right next to Jeni's..I am gonna buy some to try

My favorite grocery store in SF - they fit a huge assortment of high-quality products into a relatively small store footprint. I’m almost always able to find what I need, and they carry more of my favorite local brands than most other grocers.

the price for basic produce (think potatoes, onions, etc.) is fine but a lot of items (yogurt, vegetarian meat substitutes, sliced bread, etc) are way overpriced. they do carry some esoteric items like enoki mushrooms and a pretty good selection of cheese / ice cream for such a small store though. for high-end groceries, bi-rite, whole foods, and gus's are a lot better. for regular stuff, lucky and safeway both have a much better selection for much cheaper. falletti doesn't have a lot going for it other than being in a busy neighborhood (schlok's and the farmer's market / DMV are next door) with a convenient parking lot. for some reason the cashiers here make mistakes more often than other places, so make sure you check your receipt.

Delicious tiramisu! I don't really shop here often for groceries. Produce is fresh. I will stop by again to try other items

Produce looked super fresh and there was a decent selection and price range. Reliable grocery store Some local cheeses to try in refrigerated section. There is also a deli or RT Rotisserie to get prepared foods!

WOW! be prepared to be impressed!!! We are smart and selective shoppers - then! we get totally seduced when we walk into Falletti's! The produce is great! The sausage - made daily - is incredible. Love the Bakery and the decadent sweets. Every Valentine's Day we skip the big showy restaurant scene and create small Falletti's feast - Love Kopriva Chardonnay- superlative meats. And! The staff is terrific. Parking can be a challenge...we have a secret place- not telling you!

While some items can be expensive ($8.99 for a cauliflower what the whaaaat?), I like Fallettis for a few reasons: -Proximity to the DMV Sunday farmers market. So convenient when you need just one or two ingredients you can't source from the market. -Obscure items that you only need for that once-in-a-while dish or inaccessible Gwyneth Paltrow recipe. Like pomegranate molasses or cashew nut cream. -British sweets section. For anytime I'm craving a treat from the motherland like Terry's Chocolate Orange mmmm. -Cheese offcuts basket: this is my favorite part. In the cheese section are small chunks of gourmet cheese for sale. Perfect for when you want a small morsel and to try something different but don't want a full wheel.

We were next door and decided to stop by. This is a small group store but has some pretty cool stuff. First they had fresh flowers. Everything is so well organized and clean. Pretty good frozen section. They also had these chips that are hard to find. There's really great produce. The meat department looks fresh and clean. Overall great experience. It's a little expensive but the service is good and there's quality food.

I just had one of the most unfortunate and disgusting experiences at Falletti Foods. Everything was going fine- selections OK etc. But when I got to the checkout stand there was something wrong. The male cashier seemed to be in a daze, having to price check every other simple item- like pineapples, raspberries, etc.. But the worst part was he obviously had a cold or something and kept wiping his nose with his open hand and then continuing to touch my groceries. No towel, no sanitizer, nothing just his snot all over the groceries. I haven't wiped down my groceries in years now, but I will be doing so as soon I get home from this visit. And next time I need groceries, I will be going anywhere but here.

I had the Italian sandwich and was impressed; it was delicious! I also had the Sicily salad and it was great too. My wife had the roast beef sandwich and it was delicious too. I'll go again.

Too expensiveGood food quality there's a lot of low-income people in the area they need to bring the prices down this neighborhood at one time was predominately Afro-American

Smaller bistro grocery store. I have been here twice. I got tiramisu and some drinks like strawberry and orange flavored milk. Fun grocery store to browse. It's near Bank of America.

After shopping here for few months now my opinion has changed 180 and not for the good. The prices go up offensively and it's not the inflation driving them up, it's GREED. You'll be greeted with giant lines because they don't hire enough people and clearly overwork the little staff they have in there. I also noticed that the store itself is located in a parking lot. Health concerns anyone??? I saw a mouse run through the store the last time I was there. I'm not coming back. Don't shop here, it's a GREEDY SCAM.

Fresh made sandwich did not disappoint. Chocolate eclairs were a treat. Oranges were very sweet. Prices are a little more than most places but they are well stocked, clean, and have attentive, friendly staff plus they're only a few blocks from home.

My first experience with Falletti and their staff has not been gracious or friendly. after moving to the neighborhood three months I have visited the establishment four times. The second time I was charge twice for an item which I went ahead and just shrugged off. The third time I was standing in line waiting to be called up while the cashier was playing on her/his/they/... phone. I ended up just walking up after a few minutes later my forth and if I can help it my last time at the store the exact same thing happen. I would feel different if the store can provide items that were not found a block or two away at a possibly lower price. If you would rather save money and have a better selection and support a establishment that cares than I would go somewhere else. We as the patrons should voice our honest opinions especially when it has something to do with our neighborhood.

Clean, well-lit, upscale grocery store. The deli of prepared items looks great -- I got 2 items and both were totally delicious -- couscous, and broccoli salad. Really, the best broccoli salad I've yet had, and I've tried many. I would go back just for these items... and to try everything else :)

Falletti Foods is a clean, nicely laid out grocery store with a selection of fresh produce options and unique packed goods. I always enjoy wandering the aisles here to look at the food (I am a foodie if you couldn't tell). The staff goes out of their way to be kind, like when I was there before and a staff member in the grocery aisle cut me a slice of peach I was eyeballing. Despite all these great qualities, admittedly I haven't bought many items here because unfortunately its a bit out of my price range. The prices aren't absurd (especially not within the context of SF) but they can be a bit of a splurge. That doesn't deter me from enjoying a visit here a few times a month and I would recommend it as a solid premium grocery spot for folks who like in the area.

This has been my neighborhood market for years but someone needs to tell the young, stoned cashier with the eyelashes to look up from her phone while she's on the clock. Not only did a line form while she was looking at her phone, but she lacked professionalism, attitude and customer service skills. I'll be popping into BiRite or Gus's from now on. Rude!

This is the place for all kinds of drink and food. Great place to get good variety of meats . I like their wine selection and lots of food for sale for cooking.

Living in NoPa, I've been shopping at Falletti Foods for five years running and I have to say --even now during the chaos of Shelter-in-Place it's been such a consistent pleasant errand every time I come! Especially compared to the horrendous lines and crowds at grocery stores lately (::cough cough:: Safeway on Webster). The butcher counter is always stocked with great fresh cuts of meat and the employees are always so helpful and friendly. The fruits and vegetables always look crisp and delicious. Though the store isn't huge--I've consistently been able to find Asian cooking staples here such as won ton wrappers, chili garlic sauce, tamarind paste, bok choy, bean sprouts, and enoki mushrooms! Not to mention Newman's Own pizza and all the cheese and cashew milk yogurt you could ever want. And you can grind your own coffee beans! Plus there's always parking! Thank you Falletti Foods for always being so dependable and excellent--even during a pandemic.

I witnessed unacceptable behavior today from a white deli worker (in an American flag mask) speaking very disrespectfully to a non white couple ordering sandwiches. They left mid order due to the employee's rudeness, and I can't say I blame them. I informed the manager of what I witnessed, and he was very receptive. I hope that the employee is disciplined at the very least. I've always enjoyed shopping here, but if she is at the counter next time, I'm putting my basket down and leaving. I give three stars because although her behavior was unacceptable, I trust management will honor its non white and non bigoted customers and employees and not subject us to her anymore.

As far as shelter in place shopping goes, it was quick mid-day on a weekday, some staples were out of stock, but the fresh meat looked good. I don't know whether it's pasture raised so probably not.. I came in knowing it would be pricier (which it for sure is!), but I thought there would be more local stuff or at least better quality packaged goods. The brioche brand is the same one you'll find at grocery outlet (it's not that good) and many other items were lower quality. I used to be a buyer for a grocery store and a produce distributor, and there aren't many good quality things here. The produce was well displayed, but it looked like they got it from the SF produce market (where cheap ass restaurants and stores get their produce.. it looks ok, and sometimes is fresh, but doesn't taste good). It seems like their specialty section is only a little island in the middle, with generic corner store stuff everywhere else. I also didn't notice much organic produce. Plus for carrying lots of varieties of beckmanns bread though! They're actually local and probably didn't arrive frozen like most of the other bread.. they had semifreddis or acme or something, but I don't like either of those much.

Best grocery store in the neighberhood and açmost in the city! It has everything you need in such a small place. And it has a parking lot which makes it super easy to shop and go. Next to there is Nopalito, Rt Rostisserie, Peets and some bagel place. So you can just park and hang out!

Love Falletti's! For such a tiny grocery, they have so much! And the staff are professionals. If you see an employee in the produce section, ask them about the newest specialized product they have. You can buy a different citrus every week from different locations in CA. And their meat and fish options are varied and delicious. They celebrate each holiday with specialty items. I'm happy they are part of my community!

Falletti's isn't really the kind of market where you'd do your entire grocery shopping. Sure, a rare few probably do but most would find that to be both too expensive and too limiting. However, it's the ideal place to pick up a few things here or there, or to supplement your pantry needs. I usually stop by Falleti's to grab some fruit and produce, some beer, or maybe a few vegan items. Their produce selection is pretty solid on essentials and the quality is very good. Their beer selection isn't enormous or particularly impressive, but you can likely find something for everyone. The vegan selection is reasonable for the size of the store, stocking things like tempeh, tofu, vegan 'meats', frozen goods, and even ice cream. But the biggest convenience factor is the location. For those living in the area, it's extremely well-placed and central to normal everyday going-ons. Sure Bi-rite is nearby but their selection is even smaller and certainly even more expensive. Falletti's is the perfect spot if you're too lazy to go to Trader Joe's and just need a couple things.

Great market with interesting variety. Always go in for their Cesar Chicken Sandwich! My favorite.

I like coming here and have been a customer for a number of years since it was originally located where Lucky's currently is. It has been and still is a good neighborhood grocery. Being open today on Thanksgiving was a plus. It was nice to see they had cut up fresh turkey this year and had a choice other than a whole bird or breast, which is all most stores offer. I wanted a thigh for some gumbo this Thanksgiving. Given the limited space they have, there is a good selection of all the regular staples and fresh veggies you may need. They also look to support many of the local producers in the area with items such as fresh bread, baked goods, cheeses, coffee, and salsas. I always find that a plus where I shop, especially now with so many local businesses struggling. On a final note, every worker in the store was especially nice today saying hello and asking if I needed anything. Considering they were working on Thanksgiving when many of us aren't, it made for a pleasant start to the day.

What a rip off this place is. Everything is marked up 60+ percent of even Whole Foods! The only plus here is the Peet's Coffee and Bank of America next door. My Mom was in town from NYC and she said "this place is more expensive than Hong Kong." Hong Kong is the most expensive city in the world by most standards. On Haight St., there's many groceries that are much more reasonable. I don't see this place surviving. The family pictures on the wall are a bunch of bull crap. They don't give a damn about any working family. What a sham. Chocolate bars for 8.00! Lol

Pricier than Whole Foods. Great and extensive hot foods section. Nearly $7 for what seems like 3 ounces of macaroni and cheese and meatloaf. My son needed something to eat and I refused to resort to fast food. Can't put a price tag on quality.

Great store, especially for the baked goods. There are multiple sections in this market that sell cakes, cookies and other local goods that will satisfy your sweet tooth. Sure it is a little pricey here, but I think of it as a collection of fine foods, that is similar to Bi Rite nearby. We recently came here with a pregnant friend of mine and we all had the cravings. I bought macaroons, toasted garbanzos, mini cupcakes and chocolate dipped waffle cookies and that was just for my family.

Sadly, this ain't the Falletti's that used to be where Lucky is now on Fulton & Masonic. The prices used to be reasonable, the feel of the place was like a European market with huge meat, fish, poultry counters (and tremendous selection) and an enormous wine department. Their customer service rocked! Everyone was so *happy* with an "at your service" attitude" I thought they spiked the water cooler with Prozac. This new Falletti's is like a highly-edited and very expensive version of the older and better store (that used to be called Petrini's). I can't shop Falletti's now; it's just too sad - and expensive.

Despite the high-end food price point, what you receive food-wise is of tremendous value. My daughter, Joy took me here, so we can eat high quality food without having to sweat cooking for hours at home. I must confess I was quite confused where to pay for my hot food and where to pay for my French wine, 2005 Varan Sancere. Apparently, there are two retail businesses inside Falletti's where the hot food-Delessio Market and grocery store/wine/beer-Falletti have separate cashier kiosks. Joy pointed this fact out to me, otherwise I would have stood in line paying at the wrong register! I took my choice of hot food, Sancere wine to Joy's house and consumed all of it. The roast poulet was tender, succulent, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The steamed veggies were perfectly cooked, plump and juicy as well. I was thoroughly impressed with the store layout, the elegant food preparation, and the food presentation for each department within the two stores. BTW: Joy purchased Delessio's heinously sinful chocolate cake from Uncle John's birthday. We inhaled the cake-GONE!

I like their fresh vegetables, but I have a real problem with the logistics of entering and exiting the store post Covid. It's been a year now and they rarely have lines to enter, yet they only have one entrance and exit. The entrance closest to Broderick and Oak remains closed. What this means is that patrons entering the store have to walk past folks who are at the check out line. This system isnt really compatible with social distancing, is it? They need to go back to separate entrance and exit doors.

This place locked its doors 30 minutes before its advertised closing time. 1 star for 0 reliability. Be sure to arrive before 8:30pm or you may not be able to enter! After knocking on the window, the woman working the deli signaled to me it they were closed while she was watching YouTube on her laptop at her station. Lost this potential customer.

The deli section is not up to what It should be. Only a few things made local like the egg salad that is cut way too large. Most deli salads are brought in, some of the worst cold slaw ever. The only savor is the San Francisco Potato Salad made in San Leandro CA by Wills. For a Italian grocery store they don't even sell fresh, can or frozen Italian String Beans! The prices are a little cheaper then Mollie Stones wear you get taken. Lets hope someday they can improve the deli section.

Falletti Foods is well stocked, clean and the staff are friendly. They carry good quality products and fresh meat, fish, fruit and vegetables. They have a range of UK goodies such as shortbread, chocolate, biscuits and tea. There's a pretty good wine selection and they have some unusual cheeses. Falletti Foods is more expensive than a run of the mill supermarket but they aren't a run of the mill supermarket and have hard to find products not available in most other stores.

Horrible, ripoff deli. I bought an imitation crab sandwich there a couple of years ago that tasted stale and freezer-burned. Rats were running all over the outdoor dining area, so I quickly dumped the food and never returned to Falletti's.

I don't do this very much; there were 2 cashiers one, of the cashiers just wasn't paying attention to the line and the other saw what happened and still decided to attend a lady that decided to cut in front of me. I've been going to this place for the past month because they have good stuff, and I'm very disappointed that I had to go through this experience, unless it's not first come first serve when it comes to making a line? I don't need an explanation, I'm just disappointed at what happened because I never expected this from them. I just thought people should be aware of this situation.

If I could give this place 0 stars I will. DO NOT GO HERE. Absolutely disgusting. Decided to get a breakfast burrito here tasted like rubber shit from the homeless man out front. Also girlfriend got the avocado rolls for like 6 dollars and they tasted like they were pulled from the trash can out back. Over priced trash food. Just go to Trader Joe's.. don't waste your time....

Great local food shop with excellent butcher and fish, as well as nice fresh veggie selection. Really good prepared meals and an amazing variety of sausages!!!

Great selection, great butcher, produce and cheese monger. Prices are not low, but about what you'd expect in SF.

Don't know if this is because of Instacart or the shop itself; however, I ordered 4 pounds of pork belly. The cuts were inconsistent. The label said fresh but arrived frozen. I'm also short an entire pound

I just moved into the neighborhood and was running low on groceries this morning and decided to go get a breakfast sandwich from Falletti. The lady at the deli counter was the rudest person I have encountered in San Francisco service industry since my move here 2 months ago. I don't know why I offended her so much because I saw her being quite pleasant to the next customer who seemed to be a regular. Very striking because I am always courteous to service industry employees after many years as a waitress myself. I was going to get a few things from the store but was so put off by my experience with her, I paid for the sandwich and left. The other lady at the deli counter attempted to apologize for her and the cashier was very nice! Sorry to those two who were not involved. I'll be walking the few extra block to bi rite from now on.

It's close. Too close. Especially when their bakery goods have crazy cavity causing names like vanilla brioche, chocolate caramel tart, and fluffy fresh baked flan (pour your own topping).I circled the dessert section three times, hoping they'd refill some of their empty baskets. On the last circle, I discovered a see-through refrigerator with ready-to-make stuff. My cheek pressed up against the glass, I could mentally taste the neatly packaged cookie dough and chocolate fudge. Since today's trip to Faletti's, my sweet tooth has been thanking me all day for the dessert porn.Yeeeeeeeees!!!!!!!!!! Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. And Pillsbury Dough boy and Nestle could have some new gooey competition for Jessica's "homemade" cookie title. But the more sensible and sane portion of me does not share the same sentiments. With my 2007 resolution to live a "healthier lifestyle," my "healthy" voice is not impressed. Not one bit. I was forced to deal with this much lounder and LAMER side of me throughout my trip today. My healthier ego threatened to walk out, during the second lap around the bakery. I eased it's arguments with promises of "I won't be long," and "I'm heading over to the fruit and vegetable section right now." We compromised. I got to stay, if I agreed to avoid the sugary sections.Scrambling down the aisles to the steady impatient foot tapping of my 2007 healthier half; I was able to make some quick assessments about Fallettis. 1.) The butcher and fish section are both impressive and tempting. Dungeness crab. Fresh Salmon. Turkey cold-cuts. I will be back. 2.) The cheese section is pretty damn pretty. I've been trying to ease away from mozzarella and cheddar, but this place doesn't make it easy to cut back on cheese. 3.) The produce section is radiant. Fresh hues everywhere. It had me filling up bags that the check-out guy and I both knew I didn't have the muscles for. Even despite me sporting the whole "I work out, I really do, see I'm wearing work-out clothes" outfit, which I love to front on the weekend. Crisp juicy plum tomatoes, ripened, thin skinned green grapes, and just right bananas. Falletti's makes eating healthier a little easier....though also more expensive. 4.) Falletti's is not cheap. One particular qualm with Falletti's was excitedly rushing to their tofu section, only to find my favorite vegetarian sausage roll NOWHERE. ??????? gasp ????????? What?That stuff is a staple for me, and can be a firm deal breaker when it comes to grocery stores. I can live off of th stuff; but the 'Seven days of sausage' was nowhere to be found. I was also disappointed in their yogurt section. Nothing I would swoon over or drop my granola in. In fact due to Falletti's small size, there's probably a number of things you won't find here. But being that this place is so close, paired with the lingering sweet aroma of that vanilla brioche (which I managed to convince my health nagging alter-ego to allow) I won't cry too hard over no sticky soy sausage and goat milk yogurt. My bank account will.

Prices are really good for an upscale store. Wide variety of regional sodas (such as Cheerwine), local products (Papalote), wine, international foods, and even raw milk! Most amazingly, the prices are competitive with Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, so it really is a good deal. I liked this place a lot. Nice, local store, and will be back soon!

Wow, seriously the most unprofessional butcher I've ever seen. The guy with a beard and curly long hair is seriously in need of getting some customer experience classes. While I was on the phone (which I told my mom to hold on) and NOT talking, he avoids me and serves another customer that came after. Then after serving he looks at me, and snarls at me saying "I'll serve you when your ready and off your phone." I said "I've put my mom on hold and am ready". He gives me the most disgusting look, gets me the sausage, slams it on the counter, punctures it with the force, tosses it on the counter, and walks off. I was left aghast to the service. They normally have friendly staff but should reconsider this man.

The beer selection alone is worth coming here for. The Belgian ales and stouts is a good start. Deli in the back, butcher and many other high end goods. Deli also provides a good place to hang and snack. Sometimes it's good to pay for quality

The long wait is over! The Falletti foods that you remember from Masonic/Fulton is back! Since today (11/7/2006) was the opening day, I'm giving it 5 stars mostly because I am sooooo excited that a quality small grocery store with a renowned butcher shop has opened in my neighborhood. Once I'm able to do some more shopping, I'll update, but for now, I'm just so excited that it's open.

Its pretty magical here. Like if Mollie Stones and Whole Foods had a love child.

Every time I've visited here, I always think of how convenient it is (to wherever I'm heading) but also how disappointed I am at the limited space-- and therefore selection of goods. It covers a lot of bases-- affordable prepared foods, a wall of overpriced wine, a small case of beer, a corner + center stand of produce, etc. But the selection within each category is pretty limited and it would take this being my neighborhood store to really learn what I can reliably expect to find here. Maybe my expectations are just too high; when I compare it to some of my favorite small markets it's on par-- none of the small corner produce stands can carry everything. But Falletti's appears bigger/nicer/cleaner/more expensive than those corner markets and that accordingly raises my expectations about the inventory within.

Walked in for a couple of things tonight. I politely stopped an employee to ask a question and she got extremely aggressive and sarcastic. I felt so put down for asking a simple question. I put back my things and the guy at the front door stopped me to ask me where the groceries I had in my hand "went." He was implying that I had stolen them. I can't believe it I am so offended.
