The Best Restaurants and Bars in North Beach, San Francisco | Eater SF

"After a fire paused operations for four months in 2023, Liguria picked right back up and reopened, resuming its reign as a 113-year-old San Francisco institution. A word of warning: You’ll need to arrive early to get the goods at Liguria. The family-run bakery specializes in focaccia, and the massive sheets of bread — studded with everything from raisins to olives — are a wonder of airy, pillowy bread and olive oil richness (the green onion version is what makes the sandwiches at Mario’s Bohemian so excellent). Grab a piece or 10 to take across the street to the park, or buy it frozen to finish at home." - Paolo Bicchieri
