Best Family Style Restaurants in Russian Hill

It’s a fun spot with tasty food at a moderately premium price. There is better Chinese food to be had in San Francisco, but the vibe here makes it worth the occasional trip. We had the chrysanthemum salad, which was very tasty and fresh though I didn’t much care for the dressing. It seemed a little bland to me. We had the xiao long bao, which I usually love. These were very tasty, but nothing special. The fat noodles were great. The sauce was a little sweet to my taste. The winner for me was the tofu clay pot with minced pork. Wonderfully spicy and full of interesting flavors, offset by the creamy creamy tofu. Really beautifully prepared.

Always delivers a quality meal and experience. Nice to have such a reliable go to nearby

We had a lovely time at Amarena. Fantastic wine selection. The polenta with mushrooms appetizer was amazing ! Fresh pasta and my friends osso bucco looked scrumptious. ♥️

Staff was fabulous!!! Very friendly and attentive. Food was good, nice variety and well styled.

This is the the sister restaurant to Seven Hills. The menu is small, but everything sounded delish. I had the lasagnette. It was different from everyday lasagna, but amazing. Many layers of thin pasta with bolognese sauce and parmigiana cheese. My friends both had the spaghettiini. It has the perfect amount of spice. They have a good wine list. We shared budino for dessert and it was fabulous.
