Tips
- Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Toscas is a monument to chrome and red leatherette and burnished wood. Good drinks, too.
- April Bloomfield and Ken Friedman of The Spotted Pig in NYC revamped this classic North Beach bar and added a full restaurant menu.
- It cost $1.5 million to restore. Red leather replaced red vinyl, and the antique cappuccino machine sports a new interior. The new-old Tosca positively glows.
- Experience hits on all levels, from the satisfying Italian food to the fun bar bites and cocktails to the deep Italian wine program. The only problem is getting in: Tosca doesn't take reservations.
- Known for their "House Cappuccino" - Ghirardelli chocolate, steamed milk and brandy- and their jukebox, this almost century year old bar is a must do!
- Get energized with the house cappuccino...it's #94 on 7x7's Big Eat SF 2010.
- Order the "Famous Cappucino"
- May we recommend house cappuccino with Buffalo Trace bourbon, armagac, and dandelion chocolate ganache?
- One of my favorite bars on Earth. No joke.
- I grew up thinking Cappuccinos were brandy & hot chocolate
- SF Weeklys Best Of 2011 Winner Editorial Pick BEST PICK ME UPFreshly brewed espresso shaken w/Bailey's, Kahlua, vanilla vodka, & ice; strained into a cocktail glass; & topped w/3 coffee beans..
- Cozy. Try the hot chocolate with whisky.
- Crispy pig tail and any pasta dish. Be prepared for some pain to the wallet.
- They have a black pepper and cheese pasta that is phenomenal.
- The bar panini sandwich is fantastic. Gruyre, ham and bay leaf: It's an awesome late-night snack for when you just want a nightcap.
- The bucatini all'amatriciana here are best in class. Piping hot, perfectly meaty and spicy.
- Wait persons are awesome tip at least 20 percent
- Do the cappuccino. The bucatini is also excellent.
- House cappuccino.
- Pro tip. Eat here often!
