Salumeria 2703 is an authentic Italian deli in the heart of Brookland, DC. At our deli, you can find a large variety of imported cold cuts, cheeses, gourmet pantry items, wine and fresh made items, such as pasta, sauces, lasagna and more! Everything you need for your Italian homemade meal! We make a wide variety of pasta, using exclusively high quality Italian bronze dies.
The artisanal extrusion of our pasta through bronze dies creates a rough surface that provides better texture and sauce "cling". Our slow drying process ensures the pasta stays al dente and is not easily broken. We carry a wide selection of specialty cheeses, perfect to accompany any charcuterie platter or to make gourmet sandwiches.

Fyi: imo this place is actually 2/5, but i always leave 5 stars for local/non-chain places, bc i feel kinda guilty otherwise. note: i haven't had their sandwiches yet, so maybe i'll change my mind once i try those.

we got the eggplant parm and meat sauce; tbh when we got to the store, we didn't really want the parm bc it was so small, but whatever, thought i need to try it at least once cuz i live so close
when we got home we realized the "sell by" date on the parm was like 3-5 days ago (can't remember exactly, but it was surprisingly long). not sure why this was still being sold or labeled

Wow! Got sandwiches delivered from here (crudo and porchetta) and every detail of the order was delicious. The bread is freshly made and has a nice baguette-like crust to it. The mozzarella, meats, and veggies all had great flavor. I don't normally take note of texture on a sandwich, but every ingredient had exactly the texture that it should to the point where it really elevated the overall quality - creamy mozzarella, tender meat, and veggies with a bit of bite (plus the amazing bread).

Fantastico! A quaint little Italian deli in Brookland next to some of the best pizza in the city. I had seen this place some time ago (years now I think), but never really bothered to visit. I naturally went for one of their sandwiches. After a single bite I knew this sandwich was outstanding. Freshly made bread onsite with crispy exterior and chewy interior. Quality ingredients. It sings of goodness. Have yourself one too, you won't be disappointed.

The sandwich is amazing thanks to their amazing bread. I ordered three sandwiches from them at once because of the reviews and was not disappointed: prosciutto, italian, and sopressata.
They are carefully crafted, with just the right amount of basil on the
prosciutto sandwich, just the right amount of dressing on the italian. It's the kind of food that you feel yourself absent-mindedly nodding to because each bite is so delicious.
I ate one half of each sandwich in one sitting, and I am sooo tempted to eat another, and can't even decide which one I would choose because they're

This sandwich joint stands head and shoulders above the rest due to its phenomenal bread. An often overlooked part of the sandwich, it is truly a star even competing with their great quality salamis. The bread had a wonderful spongy quality that was a great contrast to its cornmeal laden crisp exterior.

Excellent & authentic Italian sandwiches. The provolone is to die for..the sharp provolone cheese combined with marinated zucchini is an out of this world flavor combination. Additionally, if you're looking for a sweet treat their homemade biscottis are just the perfect choice - tasty and not overly sweet!!

I came in to pick up a sammie on a Sunday around noon. There were so many interesting things inside! On the suggestion of the guy behind the counter, I got the pesto sandwich, which was a caprese sandwich with pesto.
My only complaint was the price - $13 for a caprese seemed steep. But of course, it was crazy delicious. The mozzerella was soooo flavorful and fresh, not like what you get at the grocery store. The bread was this perfect chewy but hard exterior that's hard to find outside the NJ/PHL/ NYC area, and held up to the pesto.
I've also had their frozen eggplant parmigiana meal

What a gem! This is the only place that I know of that offers fresh, authentic Italian goods. Between the wines, pastas, sauces, and desserts you cannot go wrong! We really enjoyed the cannolis, which rivaled Boston's famed North End cannoli shops. The tiramisu was also very tasty. Highly recommend swinging by menamole next door for a meal and then visiting Salumeria for dessert!

The only place I could find Mozz di Bufala anywhere around here. Also carry the best brand of anchovies, Agostino Recca. Good prices and owner Ettore is a great source of knowledge. Some of their best stuff is hiding, so if you can’t find something you think they may have, be sure to ask. Will continue going here for speciality pizza items, especially those that are perishable.

A delightful little Italian deli in Brookland, about a 7-min walk from the Rhode Island Ave metro station.
The bread, which is made in-house daily, is well made with a nice crunchy exterior and soft, bouncy interior. Their menu is extensive enough where you're guaranteed to find something you'll like and interested in trying the next time.
My only gripe - and the main reason for the deduction in stars - is they skimp on the meat. For the price point and compared to other sandwich shops, the filling to break ratio is skewed a little too heavily towards bread.

Cozy and clean, this "autentico" Italian deli (one of the co-proprietors is a native of Italy) gets a nod from me for effort and quality. Walk in this place and Europe abounds on the shelves. A relative newcomer in the deli business, it's a logical extension of Menomale, the pizzeria found a few doors away and owned by the same husband-wife team who manage this business. Both are hands-on and it shows positively.
Salumeria bakes its own bread and this makes their sandwiches a cut above other competitors in the neighborhood. The selection of sammies is limited, but respectable.

Salumeria 2703 is probably the cutest little Italian market that I've ever seen! Located in the Brookland 'hood, this market is owned by Menomale owners, Ettore and Maria Rusciano.
The cases hold marinated and roasted veggies (such as oyster mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant, and olives), cold cuts, cheeses (they also have housemade mozzarella), housemade pastas, and housemade sauces (marinara, alfredo, and pesto). There are also shelves that have imported olive oil, cookies, flour, jams, vinegar, and beverages. Baskets are available to place items for purchase.

Menomale is my favorite restaurant in the world. I've been to Italy several times, and somehow Menomale still has the best, most authentic pizza I've ever had. The sauce. I've asked before if I could buy it in bulk and was rebuffed. So when I found out the owners were opening a deli... RIP me. Prayers answered.
I went today and my wildly high expectations were met. So many meats (imported and local), sauces and cheeses that are made fresh, in house. I spoke with the owner and he was very informative and friendly. I asked to buy a certain amount of the fresh mozzarella and he asked
