been living in the neighborhood for over a year and a half and always past by this place and get curious and it's even bigger than I thought on the inside but the food was amazing!! the waiters were really nice and helpful in deciding what to order as well / had great suggestions. the pacchetti golosi was different than the normal pastas I've eaten / different from a lot of the Italian restaurant menus in sf I feel like, which was amazing to try! the pink sauce was soooo creamy and they added a lot of cheese! the appetizer too was delish and had yummy sauce with it. panna cotta was creamy!

Friend brought us here for a birthday and it was fantastic! It's a restaurant smaller in size so I recommend a reservation for busy nights or bigger groups. The bruschetta was amazing as was the calamari. The sauce with the calamari was a fan fave, not quite tartar. I also enjoyed the meatballs. They had delicious wine options so our group tried a few reds. Highly recommend!

Service is perfect, ambiance and lighting-also perfect. The food is almost always delicious. We go here often, so perhaps the reason I say almost is that we notice even the slightest variations in taste. We wouldn't keep coming back unless we loved it, which we do! Great neighborhood spot -highly recommend!!

Food, ambiance, and service is always spectacular here. As a local that has tried many Italian restaurants in north beach and Russian hill, Amarena is very underrated for the area- I come here regularly and am always impressed. We typically get the lasagna, and gluten free Pappardelle, but have thoroughly enjoyed the other items we've tried.
