Salumi, Italian restaurant in Pioneer Square, Seattle, United States
Salumi is a restaurant in Pioneer Square, Seattle, focused on handcrafted cured meats and sandwiches made from locally sourced ingredients. The menu offers both cold and warm options and shifts with the seasons to reflect what is available from nearby producers.
Armandino and Marilyn opened the place in 1999 as a small family business in Pioneer Square. As demand grew over the years, a second production facility was added nearby to keep up with orders.
Salumi draws on Southern Italian charcuterie traditions, using family recipes passed down through generations. Visitors can see whole cured meats hanging behind the counter, a sight rarely found in American delis.
The restaurant sits in Pioneer Square, an area easy to reach on foot from many parts of downtown Seattle. Arriving in the morning or early afternoon gives you the best chance of finding the full selection before items sell out.
Armandino Batali, the founder, is the father of celebrity chef Mario Batali, but this place built its own identity around small-batch traditional cured meats rather than restaurant fame. The Porchetta sandwich follows a recipe from a small village in central Italy and is not replicated anywhere else in the city.
