Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near North Beach, San Francisco

Noah W. • August 9, 2015The best value sandwich in SF. $10 for the Molinari Special with half a dozen delicious Italian meats layered high enough two people could split one.

Callum L. • August 27, 2018Great value. Tasty sandwiches. Friendly service. What’s not to like?!

Robyn G. • August 19, 2016The taglierini with dungeness crab & squash blossoms was out of this world! Great ambience and service, too.

Grant A. • August 22, 2013Best pizza I've had, in NY or SF. But be ready for the wait, and get the spacca Napoli, better than their Margherita.

Emma C. • February 9, 2023Recommend the chestnut croissant

Donald • February 1, 2012This place is great. Arguably in the top three beat pizza places in the city. Only flaw is that it's cash only but worth the hassle. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu)

Tina J. • April 28, 2014Must try the margherita and prosciutto pizza. The calzone is really good too and it isn't too cheesy, which I liked. Overall, pretty impressive!

Exclusive Resorts • November 30, 2011Beautiful, formal room that is great for a special celebration or just because. There is a prix fixe menu and a la carte options. The pasta course is not to be missed.

Solario • January 29, 2015Fresh, housemade pasta. They're more than happy to answer any questions you have about Italian cooking here. A great addition to the neighborhood.

John R. • January 27, 2017Price for fixed tasting menu is outstanding! Food and service was excellent!

Anton G. • December 28, 2018A very good small neighborhood spot where you can still feel the old North Beach ambiance. The food is also good and the drinks quite reasonably priced.

Christine D. • November 21, 2014Wow! 😍The food is delicious👌& fresh, the service is good and it's a real bargain!! I would definitely go back. Wear casual clothes! Better to reserve, if not they'll give you a buzzer: worth waiting

Kuo-yu L. • July 1, 2021Both the lamb chop, and the cucumber salad were delicious. We had an excellent German Riesling and the atmosphere was classic old school.

Allison A. • June 29, 2015Amazing and unique and hums with the beatnik vibe. Loved sitting on the second floor with the windows flung open, people watching (both tourists outside and some rowdy characters inside!)

heathr g. • November 29, 2014Surprising standouts: green tea, best California roll I've had, brussel sprouts, edamame. Fish and steak are great too but not as surprising.

J • August 5, 2015Corned beef breakfast sandwich on sourdough is amazing.

Wilson F. • December 10, 2017Delicious coffee and a few tables and benches outside affording the lovely view 📷 below.

Christine L. • February 15, 2018Great attentive service, beautiful space, and incredible food! I’ve always been wary of fine dining Chinese, but Eight Tables is a true standout.

Kevin M. • January 16, 2017The baked artichoke dip was amazing! It's taking spinach artichoke dip to another level. The pizzas are just to die for!

Bennett W W. • May 31, 2021Friendly staff and good service. Delicious latte and wafel.

Max K. • November 25, 2017Fantastic Micheladas, wine and nice side dishes. Love the place and the owners!

Tim M. • January 6, 2018Get the minched chicken with lettuce wrap. A great appetizer for a small group of four or as a meal if dining alone! 😉

Daniel P. • August 9, 2014This place is a hidden gem for burger lovers. Simple, cheap and delicious. Get the Anthony Bourdain special (he famously visited this spot for a drunken burger after a nice bar crawl in Chinatown).

Jacob F. • August 20, 2016Tons of burger choices but my favorite is the philly pulled pork! It's huge and soooo good!

Vinaya V. • April 26, 2019Cocktails are incredible. Order the chicken for 2 as soon as you order drinks. The chicken is to die for.

SFGate • August 2, 2014We loved the daily special with a generous sprinkling of bacon, thin slices of Peruvian purple potatoes and drizzles of pesto ($5). There are a few seats indoors, and a whole row of tables outside.

Stephany • September 9, 2018The menu changes often but the two drinks I had were wonderful. The egg white fizzy one was light and refreshing. The dark spirited one was whiskey goodness.

Sharon P. • August 5, 2018Try to make it between 7 and 8 to get the awesome family performance of Bolivian music. All the food is amazing. Kale chips are definitely a must. The Chef's platter is great and can be shared.

Ryan M. • September 1, 2023Great cocktails! Pisco punch! Good food also. Very cool SF history in Jackson Square. Original sea wall in lower level from 1850s!
