Haute Scene: Tosca + Tosca

If hospitality is defined as “the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers,” then it’s only fair to say that Anna Weinberg and her team at Tosca Cafe deserve a standing ovation! 

It was a late summer night when Tosca Cafe graciously opened their doors (after hours) to host a special dinner for superstar tenor Michael Fabiano after he performed Puccini’s opera Tosca at War Memorial Opera House which reopened the San Francisco Opera’s 2021-2022 season after nearly 18 months of silence.

Fabiano was joined by his father and friends, including Haute Living publisher Olivia Decker, to celebrate a stellar performance with a special menu created by Tosca Cafe’s chef, Bam Liu. The evening ended well past midnight and was reminiscent of the good old days, filled with the late night cheer, great food, and nightlife that once permeated the streets of North Beach.
