"I've been told that Tommaso’s Ristorante Italiano has been a North Beach institution since 1935, and the current owners are looking to retire with a strong preference to keep the restaurant 'in the family'—ideally passing it along to another family the way the previous owners did when they handed it over in 1973. They hope the next owner will retain the staff, many of whom have worked at the restaurant for more than 20 years." - Dianne de Guzman
