"Liguria is a historic, family-owned bakery located in the North Beach neighborhood, which acts as San Francisco's Little Italy. Recognized by the city as a designated legacy business, Liguria Bakery has been providing locals with fresh Italian focaccia since all the way back in 1911, when its founder, Ambrosio Soracco, first came to the Bay Area from Italy."
"The Soracco family still runs the operation today, using the exact same antique mixer and brick oven as the generations before them. The result is a simple, authentic Ligurian focaccia that continues to attract visitors, pro bakers, and generations of local families alike."
"Locals post up outside the storefront as early as 3 a.m. around the holidays, and the kitchen often sells out before 10 a.m. during the regular season. The menu is limited, with fewer than 10 varieties of focaccia on offer, as well as Neapolitan pizza dough to bake at home."
