One of the worlds best sandwiches! The porchetta is so flavorful and palate pleasing. Love the bits of crispy pork skin sprinkled in. The bread is lubed up with the drool worthy drippings from the pork. Grab a sandwich then walk over to the water to indulge. Highly recommend!
Got the porchetta sandwich and the small potatoes.
Super delicious porchetta sandwich - nice crusty bread, 3 different cuts of pork so everyone gets some pork skin, carmelized onion, argula and a salt blend. 9/10 good size for 1 person to be full
Small potatoes were generous and plenty. Softer potato-lings in a salt rosemary blend.

The sandwiches here are great, especially for meat lovers! You get a good interplay of textures with the porchetta (made from pork belly). We waited in line for half an hour, but it was worth it. My kid really enjoyed it, to my surprise. She's usually fussy with unfamiliar food, but she ended up gobbling up my sandwich. Priced well for the great quality you get. It's worth a visit if you are in the area. They only accept debit/credit.
These guys are dancing as they're whipping together the juiciest, most delicious porchetta sandwich - no wonder there was a line up the street. The vibes are immaculate and the food is top-notch.
Ok no yoke here this was everything you need for a lunch when visiting a town. The line was a miles long we did not care we waited. But was moving as fast as you can imagine they get your order and they get you on your way in less than 3 minutes. We got the porcetta sandwich and we couldn't stop raving about the taste the presentation, the quality, the service, we are in love with them. Tasty good price, enough for 2 in one sandwich the potatoes were very nice too.
The smells of this stand and the mouth watering visuals of the roasted chicken roti is what draws in lines at the ferry building farmer’s market.
You can find Roli roti at the other farmers markets in the Bay Area too.
The meat is usually packed in, bit of salty savory seasoning and some crunchy pork skin is such a good fixer for an empty stomach, especially on the weekends.
Priced at ~$14 it’s really not bad! If you’re looking for a bigger meal try their half or whole chickens.
Their potatoes are cooked with the roti drippings making them super rich with crunchy skin! Would recommend!
They don’t have seating so you’ll have to find a place to sit elsewhere in the ferry building.
Longest queue at the farmers market. Queue around 30 minutes before we got the food. The food was pretty good. The pork belly from the porchetta and the half chicken we ordered has a nice roasted herb smell. The potatoes were also pretty good. All the food were a bit too salty though. For an Asian family of four, the proportion was huge and one porchetta, one half chicken and one small potato was good enough for us.
Really good porcetta sandwich (great bun too) and the roast chicken with potatoes cooked in chicken fat is amazing. The skin is not too oily and well-charred. Seasoned well and not dry at all

Hello porchetta! (pronounced pour - KEHT - tah) Don't you look and smell good spinning round and round, drawing everyone within aroma's radius in, and teasing us all with the image of that glistening pork skin while roasting away.
The Ferry Plaza market crowd is no bunch of fools. Tourists, locals, and regulars know good food. Come early to avoid the line. But the guys at Roli Roti work quickly. They have a separate line for chicken & potatoes, so that helps speed things along.
$10 Porchetta Sandwich:
It doesn't take long to assemble the simple porchetta sandwich. Once they break down a pork roast, they simply stack porchetta, caramelized onion marmalade, and arugula, and done!
I love all the ingredients. That Acme bread loaf is so fresh and fluffy. It tastes good with nothing on it. But the hefty amount of bread almost interferes with the meat to bread ratio.
I like caramelized onions and arugula separately. I can see how sweet and bitter are meant to balance each other, but can be a little strong in sweetness and bitterness respectively, so they competed with each other.
Porchetta, the most important ingredient, is no doubt a delicious roast pig with various cuts and layers interspersed with crunchy skin and fragrant herbs. However some pieces of skin weren't so much crispy and crunchy as they were chewy and hard to bite through.
Still, I can't deny that it is one hearty sandwich for $10 with great ingredients.
I'd still come back to try their other delicious roasted options. I may return to try the pork knuckle.
At least I know the next time I visit, I'll enjoy watching the spinning meat drip delicious animal fat onto their roasted potatoes.
Line wasn't too long when we went - we got the porchetta sandwich which was delicious! The mix of herbs on the pork are perfect and so is the crunchy skin. Definitely would recommend!
I would come back to try the rotisserie chicken as well - it looked great! (Unfortunately there wasn't any available when we were there.)
One of the best sandwiches in the city. It’s my first stop when I come to SF. The balance of the fatty and lean pork with the red onions and arugula is food heaven.
Protip: ask them to scoop out some of the bread from the roll. I think it makes the ratios better and less carb crash.
I pass RR every Saturday but the line is always insanely long. I was lucky to catch them without a line early this Week and was shocked at how good the sandwich was. I’ll definitely be coming back for more when the line is not long. Love the sandwich not the hype!
Great sandwich. We had the porchetta sandwich. I loved the texture and flavor mix in the sandwich you get pockets of crispy chard skin mixed with the pork onion flavor. I can see why there was a line. Definitely worth the wait.

The potatoes are cooked beneath the rotisserie chicken, then topped with seasoning. Oh my goodness, the wait in line is always worth it!
Great value sandwich and SO delicious. Would absolutely purchase again for lunch and highly recommend to anyone.
This porchetta sandwich is literally god tier, like One Punch Man-ed all the other sandwiches that exist in this world. I think the line was almost an hour long for these at the farmer’s market - that’s how popular and amazing this was. The porchetta was so juicy and tender, the carmelized onions were perfectly jammy and oniony, and the bitter arugula was just fresh and a perfect combo with everything!! Just WOW. Can yall come to Toronto please?? If I could choose my last meal it would be this sandwich. Seriously.
Do yourself a favor and go there immediately! Everything is well seasoned, moist, and incredible.
If the porchetta sandwich is available, GET IT! Don't forget to get a side of the roasted potatoes--it's been cooking in the rotisserie drippings. Bravo!
In A Nutshell:
-If you live 45 minutes from a place that has great food, would you drive up just to grab a bite and then drive right back?
-If you said YES, then Roli Roti Gourmet Rotisserie is the place to grab a porchetta sandwich.
-Porchetta is a savoury, fatty & moist boneless pork roast of Italian culinary tradition.
-They cook the pork right there on the food truck, slowly rotating in the rotisserie w/ the fat dripping down and reused to drench the Brussels Sprouts below them :)
-The sandwich is good enough to feed two people.
-They even sell Pork Knuckle's for $7-8, perfect to eat later and your dogs will love the bones!
Overall, I've tried porchetta in Rome, but Roli Roti Gourmet Rotisserie BLOWS that sandwich out of the water. Look at the pictures below.
Awesome! At the Ferry Building Farmer's Market, this pop-up stall had their rotisserie going at market open. There was no line early on, so get an early brunch. I can't imagine that the lines wouldn't be much longer nearer to lunch, but it would be worth the wait. This sandwich trumped my previous Philly favorite. The porchetta was juicy and fatty pork with sauteed onions and arugula to add a slightly bitter balancing. The juices softened the Acme Bread Co. roll. There was also watermellon juice you could buy also. Awesome!
