San Fransisco- North Beach

My mom and I had a nice little holiday in San Fransisco last week. It was a foodie extravaganza! Our first day was a foodie tour of North Beach, the Italy side of town.



This was Caffe Roma, and it's the first place I've had a cappuccino that taste like an Italian Cappuccino.




Next stop: XOX Truffles! This guy makes the best truffles in the city and has won a variety of awards. He makes tiny 60% dark chocolate balls of ganache and loads it with yummies like rum orange, or chipolte tequila. Or he rolls them in coffee or coconuts. Seriously, the best truffles I've ever had.




Third: the North Beach Bakery. They make delicious fresh bread. We did a tour of the back and it smelled soooo good! Just three guidos making bread.



This is apparently where the first two Godfather films were written. It's also famous for random street musicians playing music. I walked in and these guys had the thick Italian-American accents!



And finally, a pizza place, of course. Now, I don't really like pizza. I've had pizza in NY, Chicago, and Italy. And it's just not my fave. To be honest, as good as this pizza was, I'm still not a huge fan. But the white pizza with potatoes was delish. And the Margherita pizza is just like Firenze!

So this was North Beach! It was Italian (therefore loud!) and delicious!!
