The Expert: Tony Gemignani, chef-owner of Tony’s Pizza Napoletana and author of The Pizza Bible, out this month.
The Picks:
Gino and Carlo
“I like to get a Campari soda with a brandy float, which is a very North Beach drink—you don’t really find it other than in Italian clubs.” 548 Green St. (at Jasper Pl.), 415-421-0896
Little City Market
“I buy a lot of meats there for my restaurant. I have a 21-day dry-aged steak that [owner] Ron Spinali and his son dry and cut for me.” 1400 Stockton St. (at Vallejo St.), 415-986-2601
Stella Pastry & CafeĢ
“My wife loves the cucidati, a Sicilian fig cookie they sell only a couple months of the year. It’s like something your grandma would make for you and is kind of hard to find. It’s a great little cookie; we even had it at our wedding.” 446 Columbus Ave. (near Green St.), 415-986-2914
Park Tavern
“Every single one of their bartenders is just stellar, and so are the cocktails. Food-wise, they usually throw things at me left and right, but the brussels sprout chips are always memorable.” 1652 Stockton St. (near Filbert St.), 415-989-7300
