Urban Girl Tip: Lucca’s Ravioli

Skip North Beach…with all that non-existent parking and mobs of tourists…instead get your Italian goodies at Lucca’s Ravioli on Valencia Street.

There’s a parking lot in the back and the deli is full of all the delicious cheeses, homemade pastas, meats, olives, breads and wines you could ever want. Recreate your college backpacking trip with a lunch of bread and cheese. Or even better throw a gourmet Italian dinner party in a snap.

The more I learn about Valencia Street, the more I love it! Between Lucca’s, Truly Mediterranean and the Candy Store, this is one my favorite neighborhoods in the city.
