Known forPastrami on focacciaCappuccino with VOVEspressoItalian sandwiches
A family-owned North Beach cafe that's been a local institution for over 50 years, known for excellent sandwiches (especially pastrami on focaccia), Italian dishes, and quality espresso. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming with real character. Fair warning: expect a 30-minute wait on busy days like Sundays, and food can arrive lukewarm if the cafe is slammed.
