Bar Norcini Restaurant - San Francisc

I've been here a couple of times. I stay at Villa Florence quite often, so end up at Bar Norcini with some regularity. Try the dried meat/cheese board. They always have great happy hour specials.

Fresh everything. Beautiful environment. Pretend you are in Europe, unless you are from Europe! Great barista.

Basic coffees and pastries everything else comes via Kuletos can be a wait. useful snack and drink but not cheap

Surprisingly good coffee and light breakfast options while watching the world walk by. Situated around a Bar in a Hotel lobby, this characteristic place offer simple options but well done by the enthusiastic staff. for those tourists in a hurry I recommend the Bacon Egg panini with a great LaVazza cappuccino

We dropped in to sample the wines at the very reasonable happy hour prices and stayed to try the cheeses as well. In this expensive city, this was a bargain. The only drawback was that this busy cable car route also draws some disagreeable panhandlers from the nearby tenderloin area so it is advisable to sit inside to avoid them. San Francisco does not seem to know how to deal with this problem that other cities have solved.
