North Beach, San Francisco · bar
A sage-and-pink dining room on Grant Avenue with punched-tin ceilings overhead and Croatian heirlooms tucked into every corner. The wine list leans almost entirely Croatian and Italian (small-production, women-led, and thoughtfully chosen) while the menu fills a gap North Beach has long been missing with ćevapi on pita, flaky phyllo burek, and cicchetti topped with roasted eggplant or fresh mozzarella. A cable-car bell still rings for last call.
Italian and Croatian charcuterie with cured meats, cheeses, and olives
Spiral phyllo pastry filled with savory seasoned meat, cousin of spanakopita
Beef, lamb & pork sausages on pita with roasted red pepper spread
