What People Are Saying About North Beach Restaurant
The Owner
North Beach Restaurant
Owner
North Beach Restaurant contains a relaxing Tuscan-style ambiance surrounded by original works of art, exquisite Florentine floor tiles, Carrara marble, Venetian granite, hand-crafted cherry-wood paneling, and vaulted ceilings created by Italian craftsmen. There are four dining rooms, including three banquet rooms ideal for conventions, business meetings, birthdays, anniversaries, wedding rehearsals and proms.

The Scene
Society types "dressed" for dinner sip pinot grigio alongside political dealmakers and older Italian men drawn in for the veal as good as it is in the Boot. The overly tasteful dining room has vaulted ceilings and opulent oil paintings. Service is like the outskirts of a hurricane; breezily present, and filled with wallet-busting menu suggestions.
The Food
Few places in town offer dishes that were served 40 years ago, and fewer still render them with such careful technique. Appetizers were a real disappointment. The much-touted house-cured prosciutto tasted like mere boiled ham, and the escargot drown in butter. Skip ahead to the pastas, particularly fluffy housemade gnocchi, and perfectly cooked tagliatelli. Meat and fish entrees are also winners, such as veal scaloppini Sorrento swaddled in fruity tomato and mozzarella, the brick-flattened chicken, and petrale Portofino, a delicate piece of sole luxuriously stuffed with shrimp and crab. The dessert-minded should save room for anything housemade.

The North Beach Restaurant has a great atmosphere. The wine cellar is definitely something to look at when you are there. The food was good and so was the service.

Seriously this restaurant might not look it but its big. The wine cellar down stairs is a perfect romantic get away as well as very lovely for a large banquet. The proscutto room is insane, with legs of ham hanging from the ceiling I thought it was unbelievable a great date place

This is not your typical Italian restaurant. Everyone loves italian but the perfect restaurant has to do with the location and atmosphere too. THis restaurant has it all in the exciting area of north beach in San Francisco. The food is excellent and during lunch you can sit outside when th weather permits it.
