Cute, cozy traditional Italian cafe. Very old school with classic items like tiramisu, thin crust pizza, fresh pasta and more. Highly recommend for folks looking for Italian food in the south beach area!

I wondered why no one was in here… Service wasn’t great, overcharged for the mochas, but I didn’t say anything… and it wasn’t made hot either… I rarely give bad reviews but I’m definitely not ever coming back

Good, convenient, solid cozy spot. Not to be confused with Towns End across the street.

Since childhood, South Beach Cafe has been a cherished part of my life, a beacon of unwavering consistency and warm embrace of the Italian owners. Whether you are in the mood for a latte paired with a delightful dessert or craving pizza that goes above expectations, such as the Chicken Pesto or Pepperoni, this place never fails. It stands as one of the crowning culinary gems in San Francisco. For those fortunate enough to find themselves near the Embarcadero, a visit to this place is a must!

There are one of the long lasting local restaurants in the area, husband and wife they’ve been there for many years. They have incredible baked goods pizzas out of this world, and the service is fantastic.

I was having a pretty good feeling about the place but it all changed after my visit. My friend and I ordered a sandwich and it was quite disheartening to see how the sandwich was assembled in unsanitary conditions. The kitchen looked like a mess and the food was below average.

If zero stars were possible I would give one. I had a disappointing experience here. The sandwiches my friend and I ordered were prepared in shockingly unsanitary conditions. I witnessed the employee assembling the sandwiches with his bare hands, and it was evident that he hadn't washed them. What's even more concerning is that he was handling food for other patrons in the same unsanitary manner. This blatant cross-contamination is a serious health hazard, particularly when dealing with dairy and deli meats. I strongly advise against dining at this establishment, as it poses a severe risk to your health and safety.
I came in to get a cup of coffee because I was on a break from driving and I wanted some more energy. The second I walk in the guy yells across the room. We don’t have a bathroom. He assumed I just came to use the restroom but unfortunately they lost a good customer. They assumed key word and no one should be discriminated based upon an assumption.

I have a ' Feeling ' that if they started selling " PIZZA BY THE SLICE " like PIZZALICIOUS till Late onCastro St. , and Marcello's / Escape from N.Y. etc. PESTO Mushroom & PESTO POTATO etc. - They will get ' packed ' - Esply. on GAME & Concert days since they are near " ORACLE PARK " & " CHASE STADIUM " !!!!

Today I felt like grabbing some pizza with a couple of colleagues and we ended up going to this place. We had a great time and the food was really good. Both owners were very friendly, especially the lady behind the counter. Will definitely come back.

No bathroom and smoky but the pinsa with prosciutto, stracciatella, arugula, and cherry tomatoes was amazing! Felt at home with my Italian community!
