Comments: The North Beach area of San Francisco is as Italian as you can get in this country. I love the place and the food. Chinatown and "Little City" are back to back, so there is a bit of sharing in the cooking techniques. This dish was suggested by Mary Etta Moose of the Washington Square Bar and Grill.
