Liguria Bakery

[1][2][4] The bakery was founded in 1911 by Ambrogio Soracco,[2] with the help of his two brothers Giovanni and Giuseppe, on a site previously occupied by a church.

Soracco had emigrated to San Francisco in 1907 from Chiavari, near Genoa in Italy.

[5] The bakery continues to be run by the third generation of the Soracco family,[2] and is one of the oldest businesses in North Beach.

By 1984, it had stopped producing anything but focaccia, which it sells to local stores and restaurants as well as to individual customers at its own facility.

[5] Liguria Bakery was featured on season 2, episode 7 of the Reef Television series "City Bakes" hosted by Paul Hollywood.
