- JJohnGoldSan Francisco Bay Area •56 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoI’ve known about North Beach for years - I haven’t been to it for almost 10 years, and I knew it was under new management. I’m happy to report that the food, service and ambience are all as good as what I remember! We had the branzino and the pasta Della casa (a holdover from the former owners). Both were excellent! We complemented the food with a Gaja supertuscan - perfect match. Our service was excellent - everyone in the restaurant is focused on the customer experience.More infoNorth Beach Restaurant$$$$• Italian• North Beach•4.6
