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\" ","diningStyle":"Cucina informale","publicTransit":"","executiveChef":null,"entertainment":null,"cateringDetails":"","website":"https://www.toscacafe-sf.com/","hoursOfOperation":"Cena\n Mar–Gio 17:00–22:00\n Ven, Sab 17:00–23:00\n Bar\n Gio–Sab 17:00–00:00","parkingDetails":null,"parkingInfo":"Nessuno","dressCode":"Smart Casual","crossStreet":"Broadway","additionalDetails":["Bar con licenza liquori","Bar/Lounge","Birra","Cocktail","Notturno","Posti a sedere al bancone","Stanza Privata","Vino"],"paymentOptions":["AMEX","Discover","Mastercard","Visa"],"type":"GuestCenter","stateId":1,"maxAdvanceDays":60,"rooms":null,"editorialLists":{"correlationId":"1744a3ae-0a60-49ab-b689-11ab351a17e8","lists":[{"correlationId":"88eee0cd-87cc-4f24-860b-a5d770d76b26","name":"Women-Owned and -Operated Restaurants to Support in San Francisco","topicLink":{"link":"https://www.opentable.com/lists/women-owned-and-operated-restaurants-san-francisco","__typename":"PageLink"},"topic":null,"__typename":"EditorialList"},{"correlationId":"855fa6bf-92e2-4562-87fe-6a6cd09eb7a6","name":"Women-Owned and -Operated Restaurants to Support in the West","topicLink":{"link":"https://www.opentable.com/lists/women-owned-and-operated-restaurants-west","__typename":"PageLink"},"topic":null,"__typename":"EditorialList"}],"__typename":"EditorialLists"},"mostRecentReview":{"reviews":[{"text":"There’s a kind of stubborn beauty to Tosca. The kind of place that clings to its soul through decades of reinvention, weathered by time and cigarette smoke, soaked in Sinatra and amaro. You walk in and it doesn’t ask you to like it—it dares you not to.\n\nStart with the burrata. Creamy, delicate, spread like contraband over a hunk of toast slicked with pesto. It’s not trying to change your life. It’s trying to remind you that simple things, when done right, can still matter.\n\nThe meatballs? Jesus. If there’s a God, He’s Italian and these are proof. Rich, tender, full of that Sunday-gravy depth that makes you question why you ever settled for less. They arrive like an old friend who never forgot how to show up when it counts.\n\nThen there were the potatoes. Dressed up in a tuxedo of crème fraîche and caviar, like a guy trying too hard at a dive bar. Pretty, yes. But no soul. No grit. Just surface-level charm without the flavor to back it up.\n\nStill, Tosca doesn’t need to hit every note to be unforgettable. It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence. It’s about sitting in a red leather booth, listening to opera echo off the walls, and remembering that restaurants like this are rare. Sanctuaries for the broken, the romantic, and the hungry.\n\nAnd I’ll keep coming back—for the meatballs, for the burrata, and for the reminder that places with character still exist.","__typename":"ReviewSearchResult"}],"__typename":"ReviewSearchResults"},"photos":{"galleryV3":{"photos":[{"title":"","pid":47254704,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/47254704-3","creator":null,"source":"Restaurant","category":"interior","width":5324,"height":4018,"timestamp":"2022-02-07T21:58:29Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":"","pid":47254708,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/47254708-2","creator":null,"source":"Restaurant","category":"interior","width":4134,"height":5383,"timestamp":"2022-02-07T21:59:46Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":"","pid":47254757,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/47254757-3","creator":null,"source":"Restaurant","category":"interior","width":5533,"height":4150,"timestamp":"2022-02-07T22:05:37Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":"","pid":47254748,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/47254748-2","creator":null,"source":"Restaurant","category":"exterior","width":2000,"height":1333,"timestamp":"2022-02-07T22:03:16Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":"","pid":47254750,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/47254750-2","creator":null,"source":"Restaurant","category":"drink","width":7235,"height":4823,"timestamp":"2022-02-07T22:03:28Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":68074293,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/68074293-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"interior","width":3024,"height":4032,"timestamp":"2024-09-07T17:00:46Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":75112190,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/75112190-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"interior","width":3072,"height":4096,"timestamp":"2025-03-19T14:21:20Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":68074300,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/68074300-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"interior","width":3024,"height":4032,"timestamp":"2024-09-07T17:00:51Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":68074296,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/68074296-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"interior","width":2907,"height":3876,"timestamp":"2024-09-07T17:00:49Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":65019669,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/65019669-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"interior","width":3072,"height":4096,"timestamp":"2024-05-15T21:33:21Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":65019662,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/65019662-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"interior","width":3072,"height":4096,"timestamp":"2024-05-15T21:33:17Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":68074267,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/68074267-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"interior","width":3024,"height":4032,"timestamp":"2024-09-07T17:00:10Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":61118872,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/61118872-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"interior","width":3024,"height":4032,"timestamp":"2024-02-03T19:31:30Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":61892476,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/61892476-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"interior","width":4096,"height":3072,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T15:23:33Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":61118876,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/61118876-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"interior","width":3319,"height":2643,"timestamp":"2024-02-03T19:31:34Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"}],"__typename":"GalleryPhotosV3","totalCount":29,"categories":[{"name":"food","count":14,"__typename":"PhotoCategories"},{"name":"interior","count":13,"__typename":"PhotoCategories"},{"name":"drink","count":1,"__typename":"PhotoCategories"},{"name":"exterior","count":1,"__typename":"PhotoCategories"}],"showMosaic":false},"profile":{"xsmall":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/xsmall/3/47254704.jpg","width":105,"height":105,"__typename":"Thumbnail"},"large":{"url":"https://images.otstatic.com/prod1/47254704/3/large.jpg","width":640,"height":640,"__typename":"Thumbnail"},"__typename":"RestaurantProfile"},"__typename":"RestaurantPhotos"},"address":{"line1":"242

The kind of place that clings to its soul through decades of reinvention, weathered by time and cigarette smoke, soaked in Sinatra and amaro. You walk in and it doesn’t ask you to like it—it dares you not to.\n\nStart with the burrata. Creamy, delicate, spread like contraband over a hunk of toast slicked with pesto. It’s not trying to change your life. It’s trying to remind you that simple things, when done right, can still matter.\n\nThe meatballs? Jesus. If there’s a God, He’s Italian and these are proof. Rich, tender, full of that Sunday-gravy depth that makes you question why you ever settled for less. They arrive like an old friend who never forgot how to show up when it counts.\n\nThen there were the potatoes. Dressed up in a tuxedo of crème fraîche and caviar, like a guy trying too hard at a dive bar. Pretty, yes. But no soul. No grit. Just surface-level charm without the flavor to back it up.\n\nStill, Tosca doesn’t need to hit every note to be unforgettable. It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence. It’s about sitting in a red leather booth, listening to opera echo off the walls, and remembering that restaurants like this are rare. Sanctuaries for the broken, the romantic, and the hungry.\n\nAnd I’ll keep coming back—for the meatballs, for the burrata, and for the reminder that places with character still exist.","rating":{"food":5,"service":4,"ambience":5,"value":5,"noise":"MODERATE","overall":4,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"numOfApprovedReviews":2,"nickname":"Connor","metro":{"metroId":4,"displayName":"San Francisco","__typename":"Metro"},"initials":"C","isVip":null,"isLoggedInUser":false,"profileColor":"MUSTARD","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"helpfulness":{"up":0,"down":0,"score":0,"__typename":"ReviewHelpfulness"},"publicRestaurantReply":null,"submittedDateTime":"2025-04-18T17:41:42Z","dinedDateTime":"2025-04-17T19:15:00-07:00","type":"OPENTABLEVERIFIED","fromPreviousConcept":false,"highlight":null,"photos":[],"__typename":"ReviewSearchResult"},{"reviewId":"OT-1124443-34722-120030574472","text":"Disappointing experience.

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"

Il locale è molto carino ci siamo andati la sera e sui tavoli c’erano delle candeline. Abbiamo ordinato pasta : quella al ragù era piccante, buona invece quella al pesto. Le linguine con bacon e pecorino così così.
Vino locale buono, il desert al cioccolato era un budino ma sembrava più una mousse.
Abbiamo pagato tanto

There’s a kind of stubborn beauty to Tosca. The kind of place that clings to its soul through decades of reinvention, weathered by time and cigarette smoke, soaked in Sinatra and amaro. You walk in and it doesn’t ask you to like it—it dares you not to.
Start with the burrata. Creamy, delicate, spread like contraband over a hunk of toast slicked with pesto. It’s not trying to change your life. It’s trying to remind you that simple things, when done right, can still matter.
The meatballs? Jesus. If there’s a God, He’s Italian and these are proof. Rich, tender, full of that Sunday-gravy depth that makes you question why you ever settled for less. They arrive like an old friend who never forgot how to show up when it counts.
Then there were the potatoes. Dressed up in a tuxedo of crème fraîche and caviar, like a guy trying too hard at a dive bar. Pretty, yes. But no soul. No grit. Just surface-level charm without the flavor to back it up.
Still, Tosca doesn’t need to hit every note to be unforgettable. It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence. It’s about sitting in a red leather booth, listening to opera echo off the walls, and remembering that restaurants like this are rare. Sanctuaries for the broken, the romantic, and the hungry.
And I’ll keep coming back—for the meatballs, for the burrata, and for the reminder that places with character still exist.

Disappointing experience. Once a true gem, it has turned into just a higher end tourist joint. No more round booths, no subtle coolness, perfectly fine but uninspired cuisine. This will be my last visit here.

Our first time at Tosca Café was great but this second visit was even better. Our waiter and the entire staff that served us were excellent: all of them were polite, friendly, and attentive. We were very pleasantly surprised when prosecco was brought out and later dessert was covered because of our anniversary. I marked “Anniversary” on our OpenTable reservation but I didn’t expect the staff to do anything special for us. These thoughtful gestures give us yet another reason to come back to Tosca Café. The food is delicious but the ambiance and service make this place stand out.

A throwback to the way dining should be. Amazing service, delicious cuisine and a charming atmosphere. This is a “don’t miss” SF dining experience. 10 out of 10!

I hate to give a negative review, but this seems to be the only way to provide feedback for a terrible experience. We showed up for the reservation on time, as did several other people. The restaurant was closed and there was no one to greet us. They later posted a note saying they had some water leak or something and had to close for the night. They never notified diners and have yet to follow up with any kind of apology. I’ve enjoyed this restaurant in the past (hence my review of the food) but that was the most unprofessional experience I have ever had at a restaurant.

It was a wonderful spot to spend my wedding anniversary. The vodka sauce and bolognese were delicious, as was the fresh pasta. The foccacia was the best I have had in a long time!

Great service, location, and ambience. A little loud. Food was delicious with good portions but the Valentine’s Day limited menu was a bit pricey. Can’t speak to the regular menu prices/value
