Tricolore Caffe & Catering

What an incredible spot for great quality ingredients without the frills.I dropped in with a friend for lunch and was immediately greeted by a smiling an behind the counter. He took the time to explain the menu and offered to mix and match if we couldn't decide.The food is clearly prepared with high-quality ingredients, the tomatoes and mozzarella had great flavor and you could tell time and effort has been spent sourcing ingredients.It's a casual spot with plenty of seating but friendly, authentic service that feels like a real family run business.It's also surprisingly affordable given the location and quality. Will definitely become a regular spot any time I'm in the area.

This place has good pizza and pasta. I come here every now and then. It won't blow you away or anything like that, but for the money you can't beat this place in the area.

Fun quaint Italian bistro..with pizza and pasta..mozzarella and tomato panini..in between north beach near transamerica..I have no idea what clues I was told..homey and traditions.

The owner Micheal can speak Spanish and English, the pizza was ready in 10 mins maybe 5. This food is so delicious and crispy crust. The cashier was so nice and helpful.

Great food and the owner and employees are as nice as can be. I support adults with developmental disabilities and it's great when people speak directly with them, instead of "through" me. And it's very affordable considering the location and the quality.

I've been enjoying the salad combos, 2 and 3 items are a good deal, they're always fresh and there's a good variety to choose from. You can order online so you just go when you need to pickup. My faves are the pasta salad, Mediterranean, and the tuna.

Since the pandemic began, a lot of North Beach restaurants started betting big on takeout. While this definitely increased options, often times it essentially means the dine-in menu is now put in a box. Which translates to smaller portions and higher prices. Meanwhile, this joint is North Beach adjacent and was takeout focused before the pandemic. That means you get really large portions for a reasonable price. Not quite at the same level as some of the fancy Italian joints, but still very tasty in a comforting way.Rosso Calzone: This was HUGE! The large was basically like a large pizza folded and half. And there was no shortage of filling. A generous amount of ricotta and mozzarella. Also, a pretty good dose of prosciutto. The were a bunch of fresh diced tomatoes inside too. Wasn't a fan of those since they tasted raw/undercooked; might have been better to use stewed tomato chunks instead. Not sure if it's standard, but I made sure to ask that marinara sauce was included. Great for dipping, especially the edge pieces which had more dough.Beef Lasagna: Pure comfort. Thick layers of pasta, lots of cheese and lots of ground beef. I realize a lot of fancy places are into the thin pasta layers, but I always feel cheated on filling with those thin layers. So this more traditional home style with thick pasta and thickly filling was more my speed.

Amazing cosy place, right at the bottom of the pyramid! I had the Penne Bolognese on my first visit and the Pizza and Half Panino on my second one and both were perfect ! Thanks Michael and Joe for the friendly service

A long-time Jackson Square gem! The pizza, pasta, soups and salads are consistently solid. Everything is fresh. The housemade Cesar dressing is addictive. Don't pass on dessert!

What a great find! Perfect for lunch or any old time! The staff and owner are very helpful and kind. The food was delicious and the menu was so extensive it was hard to choose. I loved being able to sit outside and enjoy and unusually beautiful day in the city.
