Tommaso's Ristorante Italiano

14 Excellent Old-School Italian Restaurants In SF - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Tommaso’s has been drawing in generations of families since 1935, even though it’s sandwiched between three adult entertainment spots. Inside this North Beach restaurant, there’s no music—just the clatter of plates, chatter between neighboring tables, and sometimes a group chorus of Happy Birthday (which you should definitely join in on). The lasagna and the sausage and mushroom pizza are must-orders, but the tiramisu is what makes a meal here special—it’s one of the best in the city. Arrive right at 5pm, or be prepared to wait." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
