If you're using that statistic atlas website, keep in mind that their neighborhood boundaries aren't entirely accurate. Their definition of North beach only includes part of North beach, for example. Not that the real North beach is any more impressive in terms of italian ancestry/italian speakers... if you go by the zip code 94133, which includes all of North beach (plus parts of telegraph hill, fisherman's wharf, russian hill), the amount of people with Italian ancestry rises to 1,123 (but the percentage drops to 4.0%), and those speaking italian at home rises to a whopping 91 (and drops to 0.3%)
SF's only zip code with more than 1% of people speaking Italian at home is the Marina district:
94123 (the Marina):
Italian ancestry - 2,978 (12.2%)
Italian speaking - 397 (1.2%)
Here are the other SF zip codes with at least 5% Italian ancestry:

Italian ancestry - 2,906 (9.3%)
Italian speaking - 186 (0.6%)
94129 (the Presidio):
Italian ancestry - 249 (8.9%)
Italian speaking - 23 (0.9%)
94127 (West Portal/Ingleside terrace/Monterey Heights/Sunnyside/Sherwood Forest/Miraloma Park):
Italian ancestry - 1,461 (7.5%)
Italian speaking - 51 (0.3%)
94117 (the Haight/Lower Haight/Panhandle/Alamo Square/Cole Valley):
Italian ancestry - 2,854 (6.9%)
Italian speaking - 190 (0.5%)
94109 (Fisherman's Wharf/Russian Hill/Pacific Heights/Cathedral Hill/Nob Hill/Tenderloin):

Italian ancestry - 2,000 (5.9%)
Italian speaking - 91 (0.3%)
94158 (Mission Bay/Dogpatch):
Italian ancestry - 305 (5.8%)
Italian speaking - too few to show up on the site (under 20)
94118 (Inner Richmond):

Italian speaking - 226 (0.6%)
94110 (the Mission/Bernal Heights):

The Mission district seems to be the second most Italian neighborhood, after the Marina district.

As you can see, North Beach isn't that Italian by SF standards. Though it does have the reputation, the history, a huge amount of Italian restaurants, and Italian flags painted on all the telephone poles.
