Tommaso's Ristorante Italiano

I first went to Tommaso's about 50 years ago. They have always had the most excellent marinated vegetables, pizza, pasta and other Italian dishes. I don't get there too often anymore but my son took me there for my birthday last night. Delicious as usual. I had the manicotti and meatballs.

Food is meh

Finally a no frills Italian restaurant like you can get on the east coast! The Caesar salad was amazing. The penne vodka was so filling with a heaping amount of pancetta. They also had olive oil & vinegar at the table. Also loved their private label wine. I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes!

I've had dinner here in the past and the food is great. What's not great is the ramshackle homeless shelter out front. This establishment has constructed a gigantic "parklet" structure that extends almost a block. I walked by a few days ago and there was what looked like 4-5 men living in it (I don't mean just sleeping for a night, they are fully moved in). Not sure what to make of it as it was honestly almost unbelievable, I will add a photo when I can. It is my opinion that the owners of this establishment should demolish the useless structure as soon as possible instead of contributing to the deterioration of the neighborhood.

My family has been enjoying Tommaso’s food — especially the pizza — since 1980; 44 years. This restaurant is the real deal, as far the Tommaso family raising children in North Beach, attending church in North Beach, and running a business in North Beach — way before I even thought about moving to North Beach. It’s a terrific restaurant with deep roots in the neighborhood. Kid-friendliness: Of course children are welcome and appreciated in Tommaso’s; it’s an Italian restaurant, owned by a warm and generous Italian family!

What a beautiful dining experience. When you walk in you are greeted by the smell of garlic and other delicious aromas. Go and enjoy this establishment without second thoughts and make sure you get some dessert as well.

pretty mid, lots of better places to try pasta and pizza in north beach

Awesome place

What is not to love about Italian food and the way it is served..family style and with love
