Good coffee-house also has good food 2/15/2008

You think espresso or cappuccino when you pass by here, but they have good food too (without the hassle of a wait). Their long-time employees provide excellent service, and they don't mind if you get a cup of coffee and stay for a couple of hours. The owner is often sitting at one of the tables. Pros: Own coffee beans, good food for a coffee-house or restaurant Cons: Parking, as with any place on Columbus Avenue more

Beware...go for the coffee not the food 4/12/2006

A friend and I just had a horrible experience at this place. We started smelling burnt smells coming from the kitchen and once her lasagne arrived, we realized it was her pasta. We both work in the restaurant industry and almost always feel embarrassed to say anything about poor food. However, we felt it necessary to notify the counter person, who took the pasta to the chef. The chef came out and became very angry, telling my friend she had to leave, that she didn't know what real italian food was. Obviously our mistake for attempting the food at a coffee joint! Pros: ambiance, coffee Cons: Poor hospitality, Food more

A Great Meal 3/13/2006

We chanced upon this place while travelling in San Fran and it was such a treat. My husbands clam linguine was packed with clams and my papardelle bolognese was delicious. Pros: Great Value, Delicious Food Cons: Noisy more

The Secret is the Food 4/16/2005

We happened to read about this gem in the Chronicle several months ago. Anyway, we've been there many times since and they have some of the best pasta dishes in North Beach (personally my fave is the papardelle bolognese). The cafe looks like a coffee shop only, but do yourself a favor and try the pasta or soup (my wife loves the split pea) - great value as well! Pros: Pasta, Soup more

A great way to soak up North Beach 12/19/2004

While on the main drag on Columbus, stepping inside instantly feels like a step back in time. The coffee and desserts are great, the service fast and very friendly. And you can linger as long as you like, whether its reading the paper, working on your homework. and its open till late in case you need a fix or a place to unwind. Pros: coffee & desserts, ambience, service more

best fruit tarts around 10/1/2002

Puccini's is my favorite cafe in the city. The coffee is excellent, and the fruit tarts are sent from god. I have been going there for years and years, yet I can never bring myself to get anything other than a fruit tart when I am there. The strange part is that I don't even like fruit tarts!! That is a testament to how scrumptios they are. I just wish it were a little bit cozier and cuter. Pros: good coffee, good dessert, inexpensive more
