    The North Beach neighborhood is a great place to spend the day. After exploring the many neighborhood shops, grab a gelato to go and enjoy at gorgeous Washington Square Park.

    Pleasant area to stroll in and cut through the masses of tourists. Choose your restaurant carefully as those go from horribly touristy and tacky to authentic and delicious.

    North Beach is a great place for date night. Cafe Zoetrope has amazing Italian food and the atmosphere is so cute and romantic--perfect for date night.

    If you're a garlic lover, The Stinking Rose is the place for you. Good food is everywhere in North Beach. You really can't go wrong. The cafe's in North Beach harbor the best coffee in the city

    THE place for Italian food. A nice walk down Columbus will give you an array of spots to choose from. And Bimbos down the way, one of the best music venues in the city.

    "Little Italy" is a misnomer and a typical tourist mistake. (Don't call it "Frisco" or "San Fran.") The Italian neighborhood in San Francisco is called "North Beach."

    You can tell you're here because the light poles have the tricolor green-white-red painted on the poles, representing the flag of Italy.

    There is a candy shop on the most North end of the neighborhood. You will smell it, get fudge samples there...it is so smooooooth.

    You have to visit Calzone's, Tony's Napoletana, and Giordano Bros. There's usually a wait for Calzone's and Tony's, but it's totally worth it.

    Il pollaio on Columbus has the best and affordable crispy grilled chicken. Even better with a half liter of wine.

    When I lived in Boston I always found myself in the North End, when I'm in SF I always find myself in North Beach.

    Quando ti imbatti in questo quartiere, tutto è leggermente più rumoroso... e allora il primo pensiero che ti passa per la testa è: <<Ma fosse il quartiere Italiano?>> E la risposta è <<si>>!!!
