My year long stay in Seattle is coming to end. I will be moving to Venice, CA in February to jump start the acting career at a full time basis (fingers crossed!). I've eaten at a lot of the Seattle "must try" spots and Salumi rounds out as my last one. I am kicking myself for having not tried it sooner.

Salumi is located in Pioneer Square which has a bunch of Seattle history. Of course the only real history I know it for is the "Singles" movie poster, but that's just me...
Salumi is only open Tuesday - Friday for lunch hours. I never seem to
be out at lunch so that's a little disappointing which is why it took
me so long to finally get in. Salumi is know for their cured meats, but
you have the option of dining in for a hot meal instead of just ordering
a bulk amount to go. The space itself is pretty cramped, I don't think it's the best place for a large party, but great for 2 people or ordering food to go. The sandwiches are made in front of you so you can basque in it's fatty glory.
I ordered the hot porchetta sandwich on a ciabatta roll. I've always had
a rough relationship with porchetta, sometimes it's too fatty. I'm
happy to report that Salumi's porchetta is flavorful and succulent. There is fat but it's the perfect amount, no gag reflex
happened here. They also added this amazing garlicy butter sauce which
oozes out with the flavor of the pork and roasted green pepper. It also
drips and the bread becomes the right amount moist but not soggy. It's
heaven and earns a "best of" for GOF. The best part? I have leftovers
from it!
