    We have been going to North Beach Restaurant for many years and it’s a family favorite. They have updated the menu a little and it doesn’t disappoint. Our favorite was the Gnocchi with truffles, we ordered one as an appetizer for the table. Everything was delicious! The service is impeccable.

    I've been going here since it opened in the 70s and it is as good as ever. Wonderful warm ambiance, friendly folks, and excellent food. The spirit of Old North Beach lives on.

    This is a really nice restaurant and kind of rare in today's group of noisy, awful places that still cost a ton. This place was really intimate and quiet - even though the place was soon packed as it was a Friday. People seemed to respect the tone set by the traditional surroundings. Service was exceptional. Really felt catered to without being overwhelmed. Both food and cocktails were great. Tried the Reviver #2 with the grapefruit - sooo good! For starter we shared an Italian version of steak tartare that had pickled vegetables - was really different and really good. North Beach salad was also simple but excellent. They have a nice selection of pasta and non pasta dishes. We tried two of the pasta dishes - tortellini parmesan and the della casa rigatoni, which might have more meat than i was expecting, but was still good. The tiramisu at dessert was very good too. It is a nice place for a date or special occasion, as the prices are a little steep. But otherwise, recommend. They do have valet parking, but we found street parking if you're willing to walk a few blocks.

    I used to come here for their carbonara, and it is a lovely dining room. The charm of the room remains, but the carbonara is gone, and the food competent at best.
