Good morning everybody. Good morning. Here we are in San Francisco for a day trip. Yes we're in their
version of Little Italy. I think the only thing that comes up in California is San Diego.
Yes. Which is actually named Little Italy. Right and this is nestled like very close to Chinatown
and North Beach and we're going to start it off at Liguria Bakery. Liguria Bakery they are known
for their focaccia bread. They are known to have the oldest brick oven in the whole city. Yeah so
that'd be a lot of fun. We like focaccia bread. Yeah. I'm looking forward to see what types they
have. Yes let's go inside. Here are the hours. They're not open for very long at all. No and
there's sometimes a very long line here and they always do sell out. So let's go inside. We're
lucky because we're here on the on the Tuesday morning. Yes. Oh yeah look there's the menu right
here. And look at this they have made fresh daily right here.
It's going to be $18. Okay cash okay? Cash? Fresh focaccia bread only nine dollars. Do you believe
that? Only nine dollars. That bread that they made fresh in there that rustica. Yes I look really
good. Do you know how hard it was not to buy that bread? I smelled it and everything oh my gosh it
was hard. But we got our focaccia bread look at this. They wrap it up put it in paper wrap it up
this is the size of it maybe about 12 13 inches maybe. And we're going to go across the street
it's warm so we're going to cross the street. There's a park right there and yeah let's unwrap
it there. We found the bench to do the unwrapping. Let's check it out. Oh look at that that really
looks good in the San Francisco sun right there. Rosemary garlic and run right below it
jalapeno cheese. All right look at this it's kind of hard to pick maybe I'll try the jalapeno cheese
Now these are done daily made fresh let's go ahead tear off a piece here
let's do this to jalapeno and cheese you can see it this glistening that sun
it is to room temperature so when I was carrying it over here it was kind of
warm on the bottom but now it's room temperature you can see that piece right there
nice and soft right here
wow this focaccia bread is delicious it is pillowy jalapeno flavor but not the
spice of a jalapeno good cheese this bread it's where it's at you know how you look for
some really good nice soft bread to dip in like olive oil and stuff this is it right here they
had plain for eight dollars and they have maybe six or seven different flavors wow it looks really
fluffy huh this is delicious wow yeah give the other one a try yeah now when I hold it up you
could really kind of get the idea of the size of this look at this see it's pretty big you see what
the bottom looks like how's that look man this uh what is just the uh the rosemary and garlic right
I could just smell it wow I know all these people around me are probably smelling it too
let me put this down and tear off a piece oh yeah look at that the type of focaccia bread that we're
always used to it only just comes one way when you just go to like like an Italian restaurant
but to have this type of variety you don't know which one to get when we're looking at that menu
this great flavor of nice garlic not overpowering at all that rosemary really comes through and
really the star is how fluffy this bread is I can smell the garlic and we're out in the open yeah
people that are downwind from this hey what's that smell yeah it's the aroma not the smell
it's a wonderful aroma yeah you can highly recommend this place
I've read on the Yelp reviews that if you come on the weekends there's a line down the block
so just be prepared for that we got lucky midweek no line
yeah these are great and they're gonna travel well we're gonna take these home
we already knew we were gonna come and do this type of adventure of a foodie adventure and this
is what I do in a lot of day trips we're gonna wrap this back up as so I can't wrap it as pretty
as the gentleman did of course in our backpack you guys know what I have

and it should fit in here perfectly we are now off to one of the oldest Italian delis
on the west coast what a nice little park everybody's like exercising here
and of course some dogs are in the center and it's a beautiful day it is yeah everything that
we're gonna go to today it's all within walking distance so it's not bad this one will be at about
five minutes about five minute walk so take a nice stroll you know we haven't been in San Francisco
in several months right right even walking in the city we usually go to Fisherman's Wharf for
Pier 39 or something right yeah that's what we usually do but we're mixing things up with this

three and one four cups of water to boil and then you just add everything in everything is here

sandwiches and then they have regular sandwiches we've already picked out our two gourmet sandwiches

like the deli meats here it's like crazy right these selections here
this is a selection of the salads and condiments a lot of different kinds
and look at all these olives very special please yeah and um a hard bread hard
let's do the hard roll for that one everything on it yes please I love this little deli it really
gives you that really nice old school back in Italy type vibes we met Nicola which this is his
family business his his uh granddad I believe um bought the business in 61 and then it's on from
their family run which we love a cute little store has all of your meats of all of your
cheeses in there pictures of his family is in there too and of course the selection this is what we got
the I forgot the name already Luciano and the Italian this is their special
Italian one plus we did get the uh Italian uh little carbonated beverage here

hot or mild we got the mild fresh mozzarella sun-dried tomatoes onions with lettuce on a
grilled focaccia bread you can see this just smells heavenly and go ahead yeah we saw him
slicing the meat and assembling it they make it for you yeah just look at that the bread has
onions in it so pick it up and this is one sandwich this is only one half of the sandwich
look at that this is a much different focaccia bread that we're used to you can see he put it
in that little press after he made the sandwich to get it all nice and melty i'm gonna try that out
what a delicious sandwich that bread is nicely nicely toasted fresh mozzarella it really comes
over with that prosciutto and that coppa that meat in there and the peppers the meat and the peppers
is what's a standout in this sandwich and look how beautiful it looks too it's a perfect amount
of lettuce in here you know how sometimes you get sandwiches that are just packed
this is a perfect amount of lettuce this is a delicious sandwich before we move on to the
next sandwich let me take a bite of this one here it's pretty good this is a delicious
italian sandwich oh my gosh it has so much flavors in it the sun-dried tomatoes the cheese and the

amazing italian sandwiches they have sparkling water let's see i can see

these sandwiches perfectly i'm not a sparkling water fan but this is delicious it has a lemon
and bubbles tinge bit of sweet oh wow this is really good i've never seen that label before no
juice one percent naturally flavored wow this is actually really good you're gonna like this baby

and uh recommended yeah he recommended the provolone yes yeah you can get it either on
hard or soft bread yes we got it on hard bread this is called the hard italian and it costs a
dollar more i believe but you can just see the crust just take a look at that crust that's on
the top very crunchy but you know the inside is going to be nice and soft here it's just a
combination of all different types of italian deli meats along with a little lettuce and uh
you know what kind of spread that is that's on i don't it looks like some mayo maybe a little bit
of mustard and mustard yeah but we have to take pictures now oh yeah yeah stand by here we go
check this out that is a lot of meat in here i'm gonna have to uh open up my jaw to like
max opening to get this in here we go i kid you not this was one of the best bites of
italian sandwich i've had wow there is so much going on here so much flavors very complex
that type of uh spread that's on here it's like the perfect combination of like a mayo very slight
mustard on it i can't say enough good things about this thing love the bread you do have to kind of
bite through it because it is nice and crispy on that outer crust but as soon as you pass that
crispiness it is nice and soft only one bite here this one deserves a two biter yeah this is quickly
becoming one of my favorites italian sandwiches this looks delicious this sandwich is delicious
and has a little banana peppers in there the meats they're matched really well together one
doesn't overpower the other and the spread though they were saying it's called hard pressed hard
italian hard italian how to tell them it's a very crusty yeah just regular italian bread it's
it's not gonna scratch the roof of your mouth which is nice nice crunch in that with that bite

chinatown so everything is really within walking distance unfortunately the blocks are not flat
they're kind of hilly but everything is within walking distance and then right behind you babe
is uh downtown yes and really if you continue down north beach you'll hit fishermen's wharf
we're on columbus and so if you continue down columbus you'll hit all the way down that way
yeah so uh yeah everything is relatively close to close to each other yes we have made it to our
lunch spot yes il cassaro we took only several different bites the the of the sandwiches and
the focaccia bread it's in my backpack so that's going to be dinner tonight yes which is going to
be delicious lunch spot we hear that it's great lasagna handmade pastas and pizzas yeah yeah yep

handmade pastas i'm looking at that pizza right there yeah also really good pizzas as well
we're uh just about to place our order and we can't wait yeah now they do have inside and
outdoor seating and uh it's a nice little outdoor patio we're at right off the sidewalk
and the reason uh the inside the music is kind of cranking yeah it is it is and so what's nice
about a lot of these places here they have outside seating which is really nice beautiful day i think
this is the perfect day to be in san francisco because los angeles is really cloudy right now
it is so it's a perfect day to be here i got the margarita pizza with italian sausage check this
out i know it's not traditional adding anything to the margarita but i saw a picture of it on
yelp and someone ordered it like this and hey it looks so good i had to try it out just let me uh
let me give me a piece from here it only comes in one size and it's a good size and it comes whole
not in slices yes this is like a maybe a fork and knife one right here the bottom looks beautiful
let's try it out this pizza is beautifully done right amount of crispiness on this thing you saw
the pizza oven when the guy was preparing everything the sausage great flavor on it
right amount of cheese very light on that tomato sauce that's on here
and man this is so good i'm hungry too but man oh yeah if you're a fan of margarita pizzas
this is a must get over here and you know what the thing is there are so many pizza places around
here little italy area that i'm sure they're all going to be good but this one delicious
look how beautiful this is i'm used to carbonara with long noodles i love it that they give you
like that penne pasta with this again all of these pastas are freshly made has some really
good cheese has bacon in here and of course it has that egg yolk that's all mixed in with that sauce
you can taste that that garlic that bacon that creaminess and this is like a really good like
sauce it's almost like a stick to your pasta sauce how sometimes pasta or the sauces are
a little too many this is a stick to your pasta sauce delicious dish delicious sauce
um this is a delicious lunch that was a great place that's a delicious place my pasta
is not penne it looked like penne but it was rigatoni delicious i wouldn't have known to
be honest yeah i'm not a pasta aficionado unfortunately so at least i got this one
right i'm thinking maybe it's not a penne so it's a rigatoni so take back those comments yeah
we are now going to go to our last place for dessert yes they're supposed to have some amazing
cannolis made in-house baby right in-house made cannolis ready ready just maybe a two-minute walk
yeah it's cavalli cafe yes it is known for their house made cannolis from the shell to the filling
so we're gonna get maybe a coffee or a cappuccino some cannoli for our last part of this italian
adventure you're gonna do it right you gotta get an espresso because everybody knows that
cream coffee is only for the morning oh really yeah okay yeah right let's go get the espresso
i have two wedding cookies one cannoli and two espressos this is the most fancy cannoli i've
seen one side is pistachio and one side is chocolate it only comes one way this is the
only way it comes so i don't have any crazy flavors or anything again everything in this
cannoli is house made let's go ahead and break on into this i know what you're supposed to pick it
up and bite it but i'm gonna use my fork here yeah there's the uh advertisement on the on the
local tv right here that said this is the best cannoli in san francisco we'll see the shell nice
and hard cream on the all the way on the inside so it's not just at the ends but you can see
it goes all the way in oh yeah let's try this out you can taste that ricotta cheese a little bit of
citrus zest in there nice and creamy i'm not a giant cannoli fan but it's a it's a really good
cannoli i can just tell by holding it is nice and crispy on the shell going for a bite i do taste
that citrus zest in there it matches perfectly with it i love the little chocolate nibs and of
course the crispy shell yeah it's very good solid definitely a pick-me-upper the last dessert we're
gonna share is that italian wedding cookie yes it kind of looks like you know what it reminds me of
those lemon coolers right it does it looks like a like a lemon cooler all right cheers let's try it
out the taste it's kind of hard to describe it's a it's a denser type of cookie it almost tastes a
little nutty and the powdered sugar has that perfect amount of sweetness to it i don't think
maybe there are nuts in it i don't know usually there is yeah but it tastes nutty but it's nice
and it kind of falls apart in your mouth which is nice it holds together when we show it
but as you are you kind of just let it roam around in your mouth it kind of falls apart
it's very good it does well that was a perfect ending it is it was baby it is
well that was a quick five and a half hours that was fun i love the the little italy tour it was
in north beach that was a lot of fun don't forget if you want to see a part two to that because
