The square is in the heart of Italian North Beach and the site of frequent arts shows, demonstrations, and communal tai chi classes. The Sts. Peter & Paul church (666 Filbert Street) at the north of the park offers mass in Italian and is beautifully lit at night. While in the neighborhood, try Mama’s on the Square (1701 Stockton Street) 415.362.6421 for breakfast for the ultimate home cooked meal. Or Caffé Sport (574 Green Street) 415.981.1251 for a garlic-filled dinner. Or Caffe Trieste (601 Vallejo Street) 415.392.6739 for Saturday afternoon live opera in a corner coffee house. Finally, roll on down to Enrico’s (504 Broadway Street) 415.982.6223 for a little European café society.
