North Beach is a historical and vibrant section of San Francisco, filled with top-notch restaurants and bars. Columbus street between Washington St and Bay St is a sight by itself. Our favorite sights are:
Coit Tower
(memorable views),
Filbert Street Steps
(SF nature walk and workout, keep an eye out for the famous
Wild Parrots
)
and the

Tomasso's
(notable Italian and pizza, friendly atmosphere and service),
Mo's Grill
(flavorful burgers and sandwiches),
Golden Boy Pizza
(great by the slice pizza),
L'Osteria Del Forno
(quaint authentic Italian gem with reasonable prices) and
