Best Italian Restaurants in North Beach

Have been several times, and was impressed when the staff did an amazing job on a busy holiday night. We went on Thanksgiving, and the line out the door didn't end the whole time we dined. We had a holiday salad as a starter, the pasta with guanciale in the cheese bowl (a very fun show that is video-worthy) and the branzino with fries. Had a bottle of wine and affogato for dessert. Everything was delicious. Marvin was a very good server. His timing was crisp. We never had to wait more than a minute or two before he came by to answer questions/bring food. The support staff were fast with water pouring/table clearing. Thank you to the restaurant for being open on Thanksgiving. We'll definitely be back!!!

Always perfect. Always delicious. It's why I keep returning.

Hate to reveal this BUT the pizza crust was unbelievably wonderful crisp and chewy ! All pastas (4 ordered ) cwere outstanding !

I visited this restaurant with my girlfriends, and we ate so much that I had to order an entire meal for two to take home for tomorrow night. The food was delicious, and I loved the atmosphere. It was casual, relaxed, and unpretentious. The young woman who served us tonight knew her food and her drinks so well, and the server guy was very attentive. Every dish was carefully designed and cooked with a lot of joy and attention to details. All the desserts were made in house and to their perfection. What a great modern Italian restaurant that we discovered tonight!

Wow. We had a wonderful time at the Red Window. We had been anticipating going for a few months. We had booked a table to celebrate 2 belated birthdays in August for October. Little did we know that they changed their hours of opening for October. I called and reconfirmed the date and time with them and they said they would open for us as planned. We were treated like queens. We had a lovely server name Melanie. She served us our fantastic rojo sangria and let us know all the popular tapas and entrees as well as her favorites. One of the birthday girls is a food and wine blogger so she picked Melanie brain on the drinks and food being served. We ordered food we could all share. Caesar salad, Arugula Salad,Buffalo chicken wings,and Chili Braised Lamb pasta. Everything was delicious and very filling. They comp us 4 glasses of champagne to celebrate our 2 ladies birthday. What a memorable day. Melanie from Lucca made it so special for us too. The ambiance of the Red Window is colorful and festive and the lively music they played gave it a party atmosphere. We will all go back again. Thanks to the owner for honoring our reservations. You made us very happy!!
