Tosca Cafe

Now owned by NYC restaurateur Ken Friedman and chef April Bloomfield , the food and cocktails are top-notch. Best of all, it serves food til 1 a.m., and drinks til 2 a.m. Read more

The moscatini (octopus ) was so good! The focaccia bread is awesome. The bucatini is delicious! Be aware that the cappuccino 1919 is pretty boozy , the white nun is a good alternative for a sweeter tast

Wonderful service, good cocktails , focaccia , best pork sirloin I’ve had, great salads and the gluten free / chocolate flour cake was all out of this world. Surprisingly amazing. Can’t go wrong here.

There’s something magical about drinking at a throwback bar in North Beach that was reinvented and reopened to combine the best elements of the the original with the best food of the present day.

Inventive and delicious Italian food that leaves a lasting impression. The bar also serves up any kind of drink you want. I opted in for a negroni , perfectly mixed and delicious.

Terrific ambience and food, in the middle of bad food in North Beach . The trompeti pasta with morel cream was excellent, as were the Tokyo turnips and fried anchovies . The piano player a nice touch.

The House Cappucino is made with chocolate , milk , armagnac , and bourbon . Even the regulars of the joint will admit that this version is an upgrade, a fitting and place-appropriate rehab of a classic. Read more

Order a big pasta dinner and save room for the famous house “cappuccino ,” a hot chocolate with brandy , that nods back to Prohibition days. (Bonus: Tosca has been a favorite among celebs.) Read more

One of my new favorite places in San Francisco. The pasta dish with the prosciutto cream and breadcrumbs is not to be missed. The carrots also blew my mind at how good they were. Cocktails . Amazing

This Art Deco bar is a cozy solution for the nightcap. A favorite to local celebs like Sean Penn, the drink specialty here is called the House Cappucino : Ghiradelli Chocolate , Steamed Milk , & Brandy .

Order off the cocktail menu for an unexpectedly unforgettable experience. Or ask the bartender to craft something just for you. The house cappuccino makes for a perfect nighttime toddy .

Come for a cocktail , stay for the food. Pick a seat at the bar or score a booth (mention you want a booth when booking ). The best vibe/food combo in town . By the NYC Spotted Pig team.

Experience hits on all levels, from the satisfying Italian food to the fun bar bites and cocktails to the deep Italian wine program. The only problem is getting in: Tosca doesn't take reservations .

Start with the minestrone and the chicken liver spiedino. Proceed with the mushroom polenta and lumaconi . Finish with the cannoli and a house cappuccino . ????????

Duck in here for some fantastic meatballs and foccaccia, a plate of stellar pasta , or just some of their excellent cold antipasti (and foccaccia). Read more

We had a two top next to the semi open kitchen and had an excellent view of April Bloomfield working her magic. The food was excellent. Highly recommend the octopus and the pig tails in appetizers .

This was possibly one of my favorite dining experiences in SF. The pig tails , focaccia , trompetti, bucatini , chicken , carrots , beans and house cappuccino were sensational. The flavors were perfect.

Perfect for date night - can't go wrong with splitting the chicken . If you don't have time for a meal, just stop in for the house cappuccino . Always boozy and delicious.

Must get the chicken for two under ricotta toast and the decadent chocolate cake ! Perfect atmosphere for a date :)

The back room is awesome but did you know their is an upstairs that seats 10 too?

Cocktails are incredible. Order the chicken for 2 as soon as you order drinks. The chicken is to die for.

Have heard a lot of great things about this place, and there's a good amount of interesting "history" within it: <aclass="entity url"rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bonappetit.com/restaurants-travel/best-new-restaurants/article/tosca-cafe"target="_blank" data-sig="wrlwP1GzPZ6x0bP/AbyQI5lGpco=" onmousedown="fourSq.ui.OutgoingLink.mousedown($(this), event)" data-source="tip-text">http://www.bonappetit.com/restaurants-travel/best-new-restaurants/article/tosca-cafe</a>

Some of the best carbs in all of California. Roll the dice and let the bartender create a surprise cocktail for you.

Cavatelli was some of the best pasta I've ever had with pancetta and a significant kick. The whole chicken was really tasty as well .

Don't skip the veggies (salad and sides) - all very well done. They also have a fantastic cheese selection for either a first course or dessert .

The bar panini sandwich is fantastic. Gruyère , ham and bay leaf: It's an awesome late-night snack for when you just want a nightcap. Read more

Well-made cocktails , atmosphere, delicious pastas - I don't know why so many SF people whinge and moan about the overhaul. Would you really rather it had been turned into another strip club ?

Instant time travel--this place is authentic and letter perfect. Have the "house cappuccino " (no coffe in it) and bring quarters for the jukebox (Sinatra, Callas, Patsy Cline). Best date place in SF.

April Bloomfield and Ken Friedman of The Spotted Pig in NYC revamped this classic North Beach bar and added a full restaurant menu.

The meat board was a great snack . Cocktails are well made and the bar itself is a great place to kill an hour or three.

It cost $1.5 million to restore. Red leather replaced red vinyl , and the antique cappuccino machine sports a new interior. The new-old Tosca positively glows. Read more

Best Cesar salad I ever had - tonnato eggs are great, so the lumaconi and Brussel sprouts .

You have to order the roast chicken an hour in advance but it is WORTH it! Marsala cream gravy with bread soaked under the chicken and roasted garlic potatoes .

The signature chicken with Marsala , where the whole bird is served with feet still attached, is an enticing entrée. Read more

I was so excited to try this spot after the remodel. I've been twice and both visits the service was disorganized and the food was over-salted. The cocktails and atmosphere are good for drinking only.

Hands down the best rotisserie chicken in SF. Don't miss their buccatini. Top 10 fav restaurants .

Don't downplay the food, but the cocktails just blew us away. And the bar is so cool that we wanted to make sure you stopped in for a drink if your meal dance card was already full.

If you can't get in for dinner , go elsewhere and come back for a "Cappuccino " night-cap!

Best negroni I've had. Great bartenders too!

Crispy pig tail and any pasta dish. Be prepared for some pain to the wallet.

Like Gin ? Head over to Tosca's to try the winning recipe of mixologist Isaac Shumway. The Cavalieri Negroni is said to be the cocktail of the summer. Read more

Great for late night . Amazing service and solid food. I love the ambiance too!

The. Best. Food. Ever. Worth the wait. Order the ribs with asparagus . You win't be disappointment.

This place is classy , old-school San Francisco. The hot drinks are the thing to get here -- I like coffee with Bailey's. - Kellie, Community Manager

May we recommend house cappuccino with Buffalo Trace bourbon , armagac, and dandelion chocolate ganache ?

Known for their "House Cappuccino " - Ghirardelli chocolate , steamed milk and brandy- and their jukebox , this almost century year old bar is a must do!

Some of the best meatballs and meat I’ve had in the city ☺️

Get the house "cappuccino " 1919 You won't be sorry. Buffalo trace Bourbon and Dandelion chocolate .
