Amarena - Reviews

Four of us had dinner there on October 31, 2025. We all had pasta dishes that were fantastic.

My experience at this restaurant was marked by a romantic date vibe. The atmosphere was great, and the service was excellent. While I loved the wine, the pasta itself wasn't amazing.

My experience at the restaurant was wonderful. The room was charming, and the service was incredibly welcoming. I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food, and I especially appreciated the availability of gluten free pasta. It truly made my night. Thank you!

My experience at this restaurant was absolutely wonderful! I had the most amazing risotto dish I’ve ever had, and it was absolutely delicious. The service was amazing as well. I would highly recommend this place!

I really enjoyed my dinner experience here. The rigatoni Hollis with mushroom pancetta in creamy sauce was so good. The dishes were perfectly cooked, and the service was attentive and well-paced. I will definitely come back.

I frequently visit this restaurant for date nights or casual weekday meals, and it always hits the spot. My go-to order is the orecchiette. They offer a great wine menu, and the atmosphere is warm and friendly, truly bringing me back to Italy. The cooking style and even the coffee beans are authentic. It's a neighborhood gem that we'll keep returning to!

My experience at this restaurant was amazing! The food was literally to die for, and the atmosphere inside was so cozy and cute. The service was also incredibly friendly. I would definitely come back.

This is one of my favorite local neighborhood spots in Russian Hill. The restaurant offers authentic Italian dishes, with espresso beans imported directly from Italy! My experience was excellent, with a perfect score for both food and service, and a great atmosphere.

The atmosphere was super warm and inviting, and the service was top-notch. But the food, oh my goodness, it was so delicious! A must-try if you're in San Francisco, probably the best Italian. 🙏🏼

My experience at this Italian restaurant was everything I could have wanted! It was cozy and warm, with good service. They offered all the carbs and cheese a person could desire. We enjoyed sitting outside with heaters. The bruschetta was magic, the mortadella was delicious, and the mushroom pasta was equally tasty. To top it off, the tiramisu was great!
