Ideale
The tiles of this trendy eatery are Tuscan red. The food, as well, hails from Northern Italy. Popular with locals and tourists alike looking to soak up the North Beach ambiance, the menu at Ristorante Ideale is not extensive, but there is not one bad choice on it. The pasta is made in-house and is always cooked to a highly appealing al dente. Try the fettuccine with lobster in a light cream sauce with a hint of tomato as an exemplar of just how terrific simple, expert preparation can be. From the racks of wine lining the walls the wine list looks extensive and drawn upon a wide selection of labels. The desserts include the now-classic tiramisu, as well as gelato in flavors that change daily. Visit their website for more information.
One-of-a-kind baked goods: blueberry & seasonal muffins, lemon-almond tea cakes (gluten-free) cakes & cupcakes, cookies, sublime tiramisu, cakes by the slice! Order at [email protected]
This is just one of the charming, small, family-run bakeries in North Beach. Each has a delicious repertoire of specialties, however the best could easily be here, because of their 'Sacripantina', a cake filled with Zabaglione and soaked in Marsala wine. It is a luscious mix of sponge cake covered in perfectly made rich, sweet cream. You can buy this authentic Italian treat by the cup (it is too messy to make a slice that holds its shape) or by the cake in several sizes. Prices vary, but the quality does not. Please see the website for more information.
