North Beach Gallery

This store has awesome glass pieces! There is a large selection and very reasonably priced. Right in the middle of Little Italy and some pieces are from Italy as well. It is hard to find great quality glass pieces and this place has it! Would love to return.

Great selection of glass and watches. I am fan of the different styles they carry. A little bit of haggling wife prices is needed and the hours suck because they don’t open until later in the mid evening, but love shopping here.

My mother went to Venice last year and bought a very beautiful Murano vase. In this shop located on Columbus Avenue, you too can own Venetian pieces of art without having to fly all the way to Venice! The owner who obviously is Italian, imports some wonderful pieces and lighting from his home town. If you can not afford it, it’s still beautiful to look at!
The hand blown wine stoppers make wonderful gifts for collectors! Now I can start a new hobbie…
I will definitely be stopping by again on my way to get coffee down the street.

I love this place. Gary, the owner is a sweetheart. I’ve bought about 10 pieces from this store. The selection of glass art is great and the prices are a steal! The vases and glass figurines are so classy, modern and exciting. Gary even takes the stuff I buy straight to my car for me. Anytime I am in north beach, I drop over $ 500 here.

NORTH BEACH GALLERY HAS REOPENED! — New owers — but similarly focused on customer service and quality merchandise. This modern Mom and Pop shop is a gem in our city. Gary and his wife specialize in eastern european and Italian art glass and have an amazing selection at reasonable prices. The art glass purchases made here are those that will be kept and treasured a lifetime! … and will fit in with the modern styles and sleek lines of todays lifestyle. No paintings, but art glass for the wall as well as the shelf.
The store is jam packed and has the requisite cable car and shot glasses in the front but don’t let that fool you about the quality of the art glass inside! I’ve found similar quality and products in boutique and specialty stores at several times the cost. The quality of art glass Milan popularized with the rich color artists from Romania and Poland further develop to dazzle in the light with their own styles can all be found here. The shelves are a little too full for my taste — but for those in the know — that just makes for more selection!
Check it out! and if you’re looking to bring something special to someone from San Francisco and don’t have a Gumps budget — This is your place!
