That section of 18th Street is food heaven: along with Delfina there's a Sicilian style pizzeria, a wonderful bakery (Tartine), and the best retro organic grocery in town (Buy Rite).

Delfina gets everything right: design, ambience, service, and, most of all, the food, which is Californian/Italian and simply perfect. Book a table before you visit the city, as this place is hugely popular. The wait staff are Mission hipsters.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7693 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7877
(Tip: The biggest downside to North Beach is that parking is even worse here than most other SF regions - in other words, it's pretty close to nonexistent. Spring for a parking lot, or take public transportation. If you do find a lot, don't lose your ticket! I did that once and ended up paying over $30 to get my car out of the lot. Boo!)]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7877 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1286 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1286
