Well Worth It

  • October 28, 2008
  • Rated 4 of 5 by matrixwalker from Austin, Texas
this is a high end italian restaurant and somewhat pricey. The food is quite tasty. Don't expect the portions to be very large. If you are more interested in just gulping your food down, then this is probably not the right place for you. If you eat it slowly, it will actually be quite filling, a lot more filling than you'd expect. The bartender was very nice, and I even had a chance to speak french with him as he was from France. I had one plate and it came out to be about $27 including tax and tip. They even gave me a complimentary glass of red wine. Excellent service, high end Italian.

North Beach Restaurant

North Beach Restaurant

The North Beach Restaurant, three words…OMG! So good! Our driver from the airport was a San Francisco native and he recommended The North Beach Restaurant to us. Our last night in the city, we ventured to the North Beach neighborhood to try this restaurant. I was dying for some good Veal Saltimbocca. While we waited by the sidewalk for our table…I studied the menu (which did not have Veal Saltimbocca on it). Upset as I was, I looked for something else. As we continued to study the menu, a man approached us and suggested the Veal Saltimbocca. Stating, “I travel all over the place and they have the best Veal Saltimbocca I’ve ever had. The waiters always try to get me to order something else, and I just can’t bring myself to do it”. As I cried, “but it’s not on the menu”, he pointed out to me that it was listed as the chef’s specialty. Thank goodness! If that gentleman had not approached us for conversation, I never would have been able to have what truly was the best Veal Saltimbocca I’ve ever had! After all the fuss, my friend, Sue decided to try it too. She had never had Veal Saltimbocca and was thrilled to bits with her meal too.
We each had a salad. I had a Cesar ($7); she had a mixed greens ($8). We each had a cappuccino ($4.50); I am a coffee connoisseur and it was fabulous. Sue had a Chardonnay ($9) with dinner and I had a dessert wine, Muscato DeChanelle ($7). We were stuffed after dinner, but the waiter talked us into sharing a Tiramisu for dessert (both our favorite). Everything was delicious. The prices were modest for a fine dinning establishment. Our total bill was $110 plus tip. Our entrees were $26 each. The portions were very generous.
The décor made you feel like you were in Italy (not that I’ve been). Candle-lit tables, white table cloths, and vines along the walls. The wait staff were dressed in tuxedos with white gloves (they were dressed better than us...I was feeling a bit underdressed). They were very attentive to our every need. We were served our dinner only about 15 minutes after ordering (they probably wanted us schleps out of there). The restaurant was on the smallish side, which gave it a café feel. There were only about 20–25 tables.
It is rather easy to locate…right in the North Beach neighborhood on Stockton Street where Columbus crosses over Stockton.
I definitely, strongly recommend it!
