I just moved here about two months ago and I was happy to finally find a place to get a fresh filled cannoli. I love to go to Caffe Greco for the cannoli's and the Italian atmosphere. When I went on Easter sunday to get lunch and cannoli and I couldn't wait to hear the great Italian music that I love to listen to while I am there. This particular Sunday they were playing mexican/spanish music and not that I have anything against it but I just made a trip down to North Beach to enjoy the Italian atmosphere. So at the end of my meal I went to the counter to get a latte and asked very politely if they would mind putting on some Italian music. The guy was extremely rude and sarcastic in his "no" response. I said cancel my latte and I will go across the street. His response was a sarcastic "Ciao." I will never again step foot inside that rude establishment. If I wanted Mexican/Spanish music I would have gone to a Mexican/Spanish restaurant!

Pros: Fresh filled cannolis

Cons: worst service and the musical atmosphere is really lacking for an Italian restaurant

Strong, authentic espresso draws Italian expats to this highly regarded cafe.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Where to Sit

When foot traffic along Columbus is light, the sidewalk tables offer prime seating; otherwise, seek out a free table alongside the large sliding glass windows that overlook the avenue.
