Best Pizza Bars in North Beach

I used to dine regularly at the Polk Street location and now live close to the Sunset location. My husband and I had a great time and enjoyed our pizza, pasta, arancini, cocktails, wine and the lemon ricotta cake. We even made some new friends and look forward to our new visit. Service was excellent- thank you.

We have always very much enjoyed dining at Ristobar, and last night was no exception. What a beautiful and welcoming place! The service could not have been more friendly and attentive, everybody enjoyed their drinks, and our salads and pastas were deliciously rich with nuanced flavors. We were also very appreciative of the many gluten free options available! This is very important for one of the folks in our party, and we're happy she could enjoy her meal without worry. Ristobar is a perfect choice for a pre-show meal before heading over to the Palace of Fine Arts. We very much look forward to our next visit. Thank you very much!

Three of us dined here before our show at the Curran, just one block away. Started with the large sized Cesar to share. I had 2 appetizers- I eat pasta and pizza at home. So the Kampachi crudo was great as were the meatballs. Plenty of food and a chance to try more things. One friend had the chicken leg confit over polenta and she loved it. The other had the spaghetti with clams and loved hers. A very good meal, excellent service and lively atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

Beretta is always a solid choice. The food and cocktails are great, as is the staff. We go back again and again!
