While walking around San Francisco on vacation a trip to little Italy found us at this small cafe. I don’t smoke or drink so it was kind of a weird stop to make but boy was it worth it. In all my years this place...Read More

Neither Bohemian nor offers cigars. But great cafe. Nice sandwiches, beers on tap, freshly made food in a cozy little corner in North Beach.

Nice little cafe at a corner in North Beach. I had the breakfast croissant, focaccia basket and coffee, while my friend had the sausage pizza. The food was good, but the service could be a little bit better, as we had to get their attention at...Read More

If there is such a thing as a life-changing sandwich, this eggplant parm sandwich is it - the focaccia, the marinara sauce, everything. Charming atmosphere inside and a nice little dining area outside overlooking the park, the two guys working were super welcoming and friendly,...Read More

Mario’s was super delicious! My husband and I went on a local food tour and we sampled the meatball sub, which is served on focaccia bread from Liguria Bakery. It was so good we had to go back for a sandwich all to ourselves. We...Read More

I could spend hours here, perfect for a sunny day on the patio, or a cozy evening at one of their tables by the windows! Always my 1st choice for drinks and a bite to eat in north beach.

The Grilled Chicken #2 Baked Sandwich was phenomenal. The chicken was seasoned very well, and it was juicy and tender. Amazing homemade focaccia. Overall, an enjoyable sandwich and something I would order again. The service was rather slow, I wouldn’t come if I was in...Read More

Great location and good food, service is reliably slow though. I got the baked eggplant sandwich, my lunch mates got the chicken salad and chicken panini. Everyone was satisfied with their meals... Once they eventually came out.

Great spot for a drink and some mean sandwiches which they make out of their old school oven. We came here after work one day and even though the place was small it was still very comfortable and the vibe was great. Would definitely come...Read More

I was informed that this was one of the best sandwich spots in the city or at least in North Beach. But it was coming from someone who used to come here a lot, potentially more than a decade ago. Sadly the foccacia bread of...Read More

With only one cook and one server at lunch, the food is spotty and so is the service. The grilled panini were good but another sandwich was inedible due to having heaps of mustardy dressing. Eating here is a gamble.
