A legendary hangout in North Beach since it opened in 1919, and even more so from the 1980's onward when Jeanette Etheredge took over Tosca. Locals including Willie Brown, Lars Ulrich and Francis Ford Coppola were regular fixtures, Hunter S Thompson wrote his column for the SF Examiner in the corner booth, Bono, Lauren Hutton, and Mikhail Baryshnikov played pool in the back room, singing Opera and drinking Tosca House Cappuccinos. When Restaurateur Anna Weinberg and Interior Designer Ken Fulk heard Tosca Cafe was closing they joined forces to save it. As the new owners and passionate fans of the original establishment their goal was to return Tosca to its rightful place as a San Francisco institution. As Mikey Rapin wrote in Bon Appétit magazine: “It’s the kind of joint Beats got bounced, Bono belted opera, and a bullet hole memoralizes the night an A-LIST actor disagreed with a rockstar's choice of music"

my girlfriend is here for work for one week and she was craving pasta. while getting ready i opened up the open table app and did a search for “italian restaurants” - tosca cafe was the first option so i chose a 7:15pm reservation. i jumped in my car and drove over to the city from oakland and picked my friend up in union square. we quickly found parking nearby and rocked up to tosca. not quite sure what to expect, we found this cozy dining room with candles on each table and an inviting service team. our waitress was sylvia and she was THE BEST! we started with calamari and caviar pillows. sylvia recommended the parpadelle bolognese and the bucatini and they were both a hit! the atmosphere is very cozy and old world. there was also live music playing. my friend and i thoroughly enjoyed our time at tosca cafe. thank you to the gentleman at the front desk for the nice table we really appreciated it.

This Italian restaurant is a true gem—perfect for a night out when you want to dress up and feel fabulous. The warm lighting, elegant decor, and soft Italian music create an upscale yet inviting atmosphere. The food is exceptional, each dish beautifully crafted. Service was attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience. It’s lively, stylish, and absolutely worth a visit for any special night out.

Unfortunately, most of the people in our 12-person party were not happy with their food. Four people had the beef and thought it was tough. The bolognese was not good, the lumache was not good & the marinara tasted liked jarred sauce. We were also sad that the chicken was no longer on the menu. I’m sorry to report this as we’ve had some wonderful meals at Tosca over the years.

We did not get the table we asked for although no one else had reserved it. The place is lovely but extremely noisy. Panzanella was tasty but soggy and small portion bucatini dish was too salty Wine pour was meager for the price- barely 5 oz. Overall was not a good experience and I doubt I'll be back, unfortunately, because it is a legacy restaurant in SF.
