Description:

Discover North Beach’s famous robust coffee, freshly baked pastries, and authentic Italian pizza on this culinary walking tour. Guided by expert foodies, learn about Little Italy’s rich history as you sample locally roasted coffee, award-winning chocolate, and peppery olive oils.

Stroll through the streets of San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood, which was originally settled by Italian fisherman, and allow the savory aroma of fresh-baked bread to awaken your senses. Step into an artisanal pizzeria and watch hand-tossed bread bake in a 130-year-old oven. Tear off a piece to dip into locally made olive oils and enjoy real Italian-style pizza topped with specialty meats.

Next, pop into a quaint coffee shop where fresh beans are roasted daily. Discover the shop’s unique roasting process and sample a cappuccino or other freshly brewed espresso beverage. Visit the storefront of an award-winning chocolatier to see an array of artful chocolate masterpieces and satisfy your sweet tooth with a sample of handmade truffles.

In addition to experiencing the fabulous food and cafe culture, you can also take in in North Beach's vibrant shopping scene. The neighborhood is full of shops selling handmade crafts, ceramics, and fine foods to take home as souvenirs.
