    An old-school neighborhood butcher and sandwich counter in the Sunset, where the meat is weighed after slicing so your Italian sub doesn't tilt the table. That discipline produces something balanced rather than heroic: the Toscano lines up salami, coppa, provolone, and pepperoncini like they've been rehearsing. In-house roasted turkey, ham, and pork fill out the case, and on Tuesdays the Zinfandel-marinated tri-tip is the move.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Toscano

      “The salami and coppa on the Toscano are in compositional harmony with the provolone, red onion, pepperoncini, lettuce and vinaigrette.”

      San Francisco Chronicle
    • Sicilian

      “More specifically, we’re here for the Sicilian stuffed with tissue-thin sliced hot coppa and salami, provolone, tomato, and lettuce.”

      The Infatuation
    • Zinfandel-marinated tri-tip

      “Pay a visit on a Tuesday, when the daily special is Zinfandel-marinated tri-tip, served on the bread of your choice (Dutch crunch, add pepper jack, if you’re asking).”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
