Tommaso Ristorante Italiano

About the Business

Specialties

When the Naple-born Cantalupo family first opened their restaurant in San Francisco's North Beach in 1935, it brought the first wood-fired brick oven to the West Coast and served closely-guarded Neapolitan recipes that their family had been passing down for generations. Decades of success later, the Crotti family took over ownership and vowed to continue the tradition of delicious food and the warm, family-focused Italian hospitality that the Cantalupos had built their foundation on. Somewhere along the line, a beloved North Beach Italian restaurant became a San Francisco institution, and the rest is history! Whether its the fresh antipasto, classic lasagna, or famous wood-fired brick oven pizza, pair it with a glass of wine and youll taste the tradition in every sip and bite.
