Tosca Cafe Restaurant Review:


About the restaurant: This iconic North Beach café has nursed San Francisco’s literati since 1919. A hulking stainless-steel espresso machine anchors the café’s narrow, boisterous bar, where savvy bartenders turn out refreshing twists on classic cocktails. The dark, sultry dining room oozes nostalgia, and wrapping oneself in a clamshell red leather booth feels bereft without a bourbon or gin cocktail in hand.

Food & Drinks: On the menu you'll find charcuterie, arancini and house-made focaccia to start, followed by truffle gnocchi, seared salmon and pork chop saltimbocca. Cognac-heavy tiramisu pairs wonderfully with the boozy house “cappuccino,” though we recommend surrendering your keys before ordering.
