Old SF glamour meets serious Italian cooking
Tosca is a North Beach institution that got even better after April Bloomfield took over the kitchen. The roasted chicken for two is legendary—crispy skin, juicy meat, worth every penny. The bar scene has that old-school SF glamour, and the cappuccino (made with brandy, not coffee) is a must-try tradition. Perfect for a date night.
