San Francisco's decades-old North Beach Restaurant plans to close at the end of the year unless the owners find a buyer.
After 53 years, the aptly named North Beach Restaurant, in San Francisco’s North Beach, plans to close at the end of the year, as first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle . When the restaurant’s co-founders, Bruno Orsi and Lorenzo Petroni died , it was the beginning of the end, general manager Maureen Donegan told SFGATE. North Beach Restaurant is currently run by their children. “When those two men passed away a number of years ago, that heart of the restaurant was gone,” she said.
” North Beach Restaurant’s menu is known for hearty Tuscan favorites like their pasta della casa with prosciutto, mushrooms, veal and white wine sauce, and spaghetti alla carbonara. Historically, it’s been a hangout for politicians, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, Rep. Nancy Pelosi and former San Francisco mayors George Moscone and Willie Brown .
