Overview

Founded by Armandino Batali (father of celebrity chef Mario Batali) in 1999, Salumi pioneered artisanal cured meats in Seattle. This tiny storefront in Pioneer Square has achieved cult status among food enthusiasts for its handcrafted Italian-style salamis and sandwiches. Now run by the third generation of the Batali family, Salumi continues to draw crowds who willingly wait in line for their legendary cured meats. The small shop has limited seating and hours, making the experience even more exclusive and sought-after.
