Since 1970 when Lorenzo Petroni and Bruno Orsi founded San Francisco's #1 Italian restaurant renowned for its authentic Tuscan cuisine, the NORTH BEACH RESTAURANT has been a must-visit dining destination for Bay Area families, romantics, tourists, conventioneers, business professionals, sports celebrities, and movie stars!
When Lorenzo Petroni and Chef Bruno Orsi started the North Beach Restaurant, they vowed to serve the finest Cucina Toscana possible. They make their own pasta fresh; they buy only the finest meats, vegetables, fish and cheese. They hang and cure their own prosciutto hams; cut and prepare the fresh veal in their kitchen, and they taste and serve the finest of California and foreign wines. Well aware of the many contributions of Italian cooking to the world, Chef Bruno decided to put his own imprimatur of quality and excellence on every portion leaving his kitchen... a sprig of fresh California Bay Leaf. Why Bruno asked, should we use French parsley on the plate? After all, the Italians taught the French the art of fine cooking. And this is true. It was Catherine de Medici who brought hundreds of Italian chefs to France in 1533 when she journeyed there to marry the future King Henri II. The Italian chefs not only taught the French how to cook, but how to eat. They introduced them to the knife and the fork at this time. Thus the sprig of San Francisco Bay Leaf on your plate. Save these leaves and dry them at home; use them in your own food as a spice. And we hope they will remind you of the North Beach Restaurant and San Francisco.
