We Went TWICE Last Visit! – My husband & I spent a long weekend in SF in January 2007, and we wound up having lunch here with two friends (one was a local). Lunch was just lovely, unhurried, delicious pasta dishes, loved the Chianti Classico by the glass. All four of us were very happy with our meals. The following night, my husband & I were wandering around the North Beach area searching for a good place for dinner. After not seeing anything that jumped out at us, we returned to the North Beach restaurant and they seated us... read more

Ughh! – If you know anything about food, Italian or otherwise, you will be disappointed. Only one Italian wine on the wine by the glass list - a Chianti reserve, a great example of how behind this restaurant is in addressing the current tastes of it's patrons. We bought a $38 bottle of Barolo which retails at the importer's outlet in Los ANgeles for, I believe, about $15. The marinated calamari was fresh, a good sign, but the marinade lacked taste and was dull. The bread was fresh but dry. Considering the availability of all... read more

Fun,Fast Dining in North Beach – This restaurant was recommended to us by our hotel concierge, as well as several other locals we asked for an Italian recommendation. It was very nice with a sophisticated feel. Definitely noisy and crowded, but we had excellent service! We arrived on a Saturday night with no reservation and waited only about 20 minutes at the bar (bartender was not as friendly as the rest of the bunch-but oh well!) The only disappointment was that we were looking for an old style Italian restaurant with an o... read more

try the polenta soup – We love North Beach Restaurant. The wine list, service and food have been excellent every time we have dined there. The lasagna is definitely worth the wait. The menu states that it is made when ordered and may take up to 20 minutes but those minutes fly by when drinking a good glass of wine in this pleasant atmosphere. However, the real reason to eat at North Beach is the polenta soup. It is addictive! It is the ultimate comfort food! What more can I say?!

Excellent – I thought this restaurant was excellent. Everything from the service to the food was top notch. Had the petrale sole which was delightful. Very pleasant atmosphere and the service was great. The menu is very broad. Everyone in our group seemed very pleased with their choices. Everthing from escargot to veal to seafood. Everyone was ranting and raving about their dish. Highly recommended restaurant for a group or a romantic interlude!

ask for guiseppe.... – start with one of their many great wines. a large listing was a bit overwhelming, but the knowledgeable staff didn't steer us wrong. the menu is varied, unique but traditional and well worth a visit. if you have time after dinner, ask to see the prociutto room - they cure their own prociutto and it's to die for. would dine here again in a heartbeat
