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.
Very Disappointing, nothing to write home about. – I was excited to go to Americano for a fun dinner. What I got was less than mediocre food and very disappointing service. It also has boring, usual ambiance. Not recommended.
Can 1 bad waitress ruin the night? YES! – The food was mostly terrific, ambiance is sleek, but the service was the worst I've suffered in ages. Apps were decent (nix the artichokes). Entrees were a hit. The 6 of us agreed that we'd come back for the pork alone...over and over again (assuming service will improve with different server). The lamb was very tasty (though too rare), atop scrumptious cous-cous. Desserts were all good. The distinguishing disappointment was our waitress. She was impatient with us upon arrival, unhel... read more
Disappointed – The location, view and decor are very nice and trendy. Unfortunately, the food was quite disappointing. Nothing here to write home about. Lacked distinct flavors. Also, Friday nights are not a good night to have dinner as it's very, very loud with the Friday after work drinkers. Our server was nice and knowledgable. I would go to have drinks again but save your $'s and go somewhere else for dinner or appetizers.
Not Impressed – I went there for lunch, the decor is very nice. But I can summarized the food as trying to hard. It's not American, it's not Italian and it's not good American- Italian fusion. Everyone at my table were not impressed with their food at all.
