"North Beach Restaurant is an old-school Italian institution—and after a 50-year run and a brief hiatus in 2023, it returned in 2024 with a refreshed dining room, a similar menu, and the same unhurried service as before. Settle in for a slow and relaxed meal of standout four-cheese truffle gnocchi and crispy milanese while soaking in the brass-heavy soundtrack, and embrace the long stretches in between courses as an opportunity to order another glass of red." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
