Description:

Taste mouthwatering Italian fare from innovative cafes and traditional restaurants as you eat your way through San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood. Along the way, explore the infamous history of the Barbary Coast, once home to raucous pioneers looking to cash in on the riches of the Gold Rush.

Meet your experienced foodie guide in the colorful Italian-infused streets of North Beach. Head to your first stop for delicious nibbles of appetizers like ham and kale fritters at the hip 15 Romolo or clam chowder at Ferry Plaza Seafood, where you might even get a live oyster-shucking demo.

Follow your nose to delectable entrée plates which may include wood-fired pizza from the award-winning ovens of Tommaso’s, or get the chance to tuck into delicate and authentic eggplant parmesan at Original Joe’s. At each stop, take the opportunity to chat with the chefs and find out how they got their start creating marvelous culinary treats. You may also consider opting for pairing your bites with refreshing beverages including cocktails and craft beer.

Walk along the waterfront and listen to your guide share stories about the neighborhood's past. Explore some of the hidden areas from the Gold Rush era and find out what life was like for the thousands of people who flooded California looking to strike it rich. Wrap up your eating excursion with something indulgently sweet, like the crunchy, creamy delights of an expertly filled cannoli or irresistible handfuls of caramel popcorn.
