About

*Just awarded the prestigious "Gambero Rosso" for being one of the best Italian restaurants in America* "For an authentic Roman holiday without the airfare, this undiscovered North Beach gem is worth seeking out." (Zagat) . A bright, colorful Italian restaurant, Ideale is the modern version of a traditional Roman trattoria. It is "festive and boisterous...la vera cucina italiana." Ideale has been bringing Rome to North Beach for 30 yrs now with it's highly acclaimed chef, Maurizio Bruschi. Maurizio hails from 4 generations of Roman chefs, lovingly taught by his grandma, Serafina. The pastas & breads are all homemade & the ingredients are hand-picked daily. Zagat wrote, the "Italian fare is the real deal...one of the few no tourist eateries
