Tosca’s House “Cappuccino,” an armagnac and bourbon-spiked chocolate milk, has been going strong since 1919. A requisite for regulars and tourists alike, the drink is made beneath the hulking metal coffee urn, Tosca’s most notable fixture. This neon-adorned North Beach space has welcomed celebrities and A-Listers for years, and while it’s recently been re-vamped by the New York team behind The Spotted Pig and The Breslin, the theme remains Italian. The wine list, a collection of both classic and more esoteric Italian wines (helmed by Ceri Smith of Biondovino) is joined by a robust selection of amari, assembled by bar director Isaac Shumway, who is also behind the restaurant’s excellent list of re-imagined classic cocktails, like the Daiquiri #1 1898, the Tosca Martini and the Casino Bar Negroni.
