Absolutely adorable, romatic restaurant with great ambiance. Service was outstanding...too bad the food was OK at best. Too many great Italian restaurants to spend the money here .. meatball appetizer was awful, zucchini appetizer was not good .. linguine with seafood ..ahhH... frozen shrimp with no flavor. Tagliatelle with mushrooms and truffle oil was good... chocolate budino was great....

Always excellent. Food is always fresh and beautifully presented. The staff is friendly. Does tend to get noisy later in the evening on the weekends,but all in all a great experience. Our favorite neighborhood restaurant!

I had been here before for drinks and aps at the bar, but this is the first time I'd been here for dinner. My review is for this particular dining experience. The first thing we noticed when we walked in is how warm/hot it was. I remember this the last time. They may need to regulate the temperature in their restaurant better. We started with a cucumber salad which was basic and nothing special. We then shared the lasagna (which was perfect comfort food) and also the tagliatelle with mushrooms and truffle oil (a nice light pasta not but lacking in a bit of flavor). We did not have any dessert. Overall our experience was just okay. This would not be one of my top places to go to especially since there are so many other options in the city.

I tried this restaurant about 6 years ago when I moved to Russian Hill. OK but not great and with so many really great restaurants in the area I didn't go back. I read all the reviews which raved about this place so thought I'd try it again. Still just OK. Pleasant people, nice atmosphere, but really just fair food.

This was our second time at Amarena and it lived up to our hype we'd generated to our friends from the first time! Service is exceptional, helpful, quick, curteous and "attentive"!

Our waitress was extremely rude and tried to rush us, and tried to have us order more than we needed. The staff was also put out that we had two more join us for a glass of wine before dinner. At the end of the meal after I paid (all cash, no change needed or anything, with 20% tip of course since I am a server), they asked us to leave because they had a long wait.
I will never go back again.

Parking is ridiculous. It's noisy inside; made it hard to hear people in our group. When tables were cleared, the servers would drop them into some bin near the bar. This happened repeatedly and ruined the feel of the restaurant. Our server was pleasant and the food was good.
