The Mob

Our Hotel Concierge recommended an Italian restaurant in North Beach as some of the best food in the area. I eagerly awaited the name of this North Beach restaurant, but as classic Costello I didn't quite get it.

North Beach Restaurant marks our second adventure to Washington Square. It took us a second to find it, since it's not directly on the square, but happiness was only a half block away.

The waiters and hosts were all Italian men in very nice suits. We were perhaps a little underdressed in our jeans and T-Shirts, but no one seemed to notice.

Once seated our host dropped off a taste of one of their wines, it was exquisite. I asked our waiter for a glass, and he opened the wine menu to point out the wine I had tasted as well as the other selections. As much as I enjoyed the wine, I wasn't going to drop $22 on a glass. Props to the waiter for showing me the error of my ways without making me look like a cheapskate. I selected another variety and ordered their Wood Fire Oven Lasagna.

Truly some of the best Italian I've ever eaten. I can't emphasize enough how great the food was.
