Outdoor bar - Warning: service with a bad attitude – Rude servers working the outdoor bar. I don't mind paying $13 for a decent glass of wine but please, the "talk-to-the-hand" attitude is SO out of place at this upscale restaurant where I've enjoyed the indoor part of it in the past. Where are the managers?? If the price of sipping al-fresco is to be ignored by a bad server, I'll get my fresh air elsewhere.
such a scene – I've been here once just for drinks and once for dinner. It took almost 30 min to get a drink at the bar, after waiting outside to get in (at 6p). If you have reservations for dinner, they allow you to go inside. The food was average. Not a huge selection and nothing stood out on the menu. Had a great glass of pinot noir, but that was the highlight. The restuarant itself was not busy at all, however the waiter and busser came by at least 3 times during each course to try to remove items which we were not finis... read more
Great food and impeccable service – We went there on a Monday nite for our anniversary. We got a quiet table away from the bigger crowds. Our waiter was very nice and considerate, he gave us great service without invading our private conversations. They gave us a special Hors D'oeuvre because one of us is vegetarian. They even comped our desserts because it was our anniversary.
Old-world Italian recipes made with local, sustainable meat and produce and a lively bar scene make the Hotel Vitale's restaurant a foodie destination and an happy hour favorite. – Though this waterfront bar and restaurant is most famous for it's after-work pickup scene--if you're looking for a cocky young banker-type or a not-as-young woman determined to land one, come here--its kitchen deserves some attention. The dining room, far enough from the boisterous bar to be pleasantly quiet, is finished in earthy wood and olive t... read more
VERY IMPRESSIVE – The ambiance of Americano really stands out. It's part of the gorgeous new Hotel Vitale on Embarcadero. We started out with a couple of their really inventive cocktails in their lounge. The couches were really comfy and the wood floors were really sleek. We started out with a really great pizza to share. It was their version of a "Margarita" pizza which had Jalapenos and cilantro. The crust was almost like a pie crust which made it really tasty and not too filling. I had the special for the evening which wa... read more
blah food, high prices, snotty staff – I was not impressed by the food. the menu wasn't anything special, the dishes were sort of greasier than i expected and i found the staff to be innattentive and rude. all in all, not worth going.
Exceptional experience – The food is seasonal Cal/Italian and very ahead itself. The food and wine menu offer a great value with professional service in a comfortable, yet casual atmosphere. What more could you ask for? However, although the pizzas were stellar, they seem to overwhelm the menu. Since I have tried everything on the menu, I usually get the 'daily special' because it seems to be the most creative and the most personal to the chef. Sat/Sun brunches are fabulous!! The food is the best I've had in San Francisco.
WOW, what a scene! – I walked into the Americano on a Friday night for dinner last week and could not believe all people. My firend and I almost left, it was loud, but once we were seated in the dining room, the din subsided and we had a great meal. The chicken was awesome, the pizzas delicious, the appetizers were really good. The lobster ravioli was really good and the sorbet with proscecco was so refreshing. The server was really friendly and the wine selection was very affordable and diverse. I would go back, albiet on a... read more
Go for Drinks and then Go Elsewhere for Dinner – A very attractive space with a very lively bar scene. Extremely loud. The restaurant part of the operation is mediocre at best - long waits between courses; stone cold food, unimaginative cuisine, and weird but still decent "pizzas". Great bread.
