" I tried Heroic Italian on a whim and it quickly became my favorite spot in San Francisco! The sandwiches are rich and delicious, especially with the variety of Italian meats. I was impressed with the bread; it was light yet substantial enough to hold all the fillings. Service was prompt, and I loved the small wine shop setting. Prices might be a bit high, but for the quality of food, it's worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" As an Italian food lover, I have certainly found a gem in Heroic Italian! The quality of the ingredients far exceeded my expectations, especially the authentic Italian meats. The OMG was indeed deserving of its hype. However, I wish the portions were a bit larger to match the prices. Regardless, the friendly service and inviting atmosphere made up for it. I’ll be back soon for another sandwich experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a taste of Italy in San Francisco, Heroic Italian is the place to go! The attention to detail in their sandwiches is truly impressive, with authentic Italian meats and fresh bread that makes each bite a flavor explosion. I particularly loved the spicy sauce on my sandwich; it added a nice kick. The portion sizes could be a bit larger for the price, but I’ll definitely be coming back for more. Don't forget to pair your meal with a glass of wine from the adjoining shop. Don’t let the price deter you; this place is worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Heroic Italian is an absolute hidden gem! I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh and flavorful everything tasted. I tried the marinetti sandwich and it was fantastic: juicy prosciutto, fresh veggies, topped with homemade sauces on a crispy baguette. I will note though that the sandwiches are on the pricier side, but honestly, the quality makes it worthwhile. Also, the service was impeccable; the staff was friendly and enthusiastic about their food. I’ll definitely return next time I’m in San Francisco! " (*Curated Review*)

" Outstanding experience. The flavors were vibrant and the ingredients fresh. However, the sandwich could have been larger based on the premium price I paid. I wouldn't say I'm disappointed, but definitely surprised by the high cost for what was served. Nonetheless, I'm excited to explore more of the menu next time, especially with the enticing pasta options! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a regular at Heroic Italian and every visit just makes me love it more! The way they prepare their sandwiches highlights the freshness and authenticity that I crave. The staff is always welcoming and eager to share their knowledge. Portions might not satisfy everyone, but the quality of the food definitely compensates. Try it out; you won't be disappointed! " (*Curated Review*)

" The pasta options were a revelation! I tried the shrimp spaghetti and it exceeded my expectations. The shrimp was fresh and properly seasoned, making it worth the $22. However, coupled with my sandwich, I spent a pretty penny. I also found the atmosphere enjoyable, especially while surging before the rush hour when I could take my time enjoying a nice glass of wine. " (*Curated Review*)
