Tasting TableDecember 17, 2014This simple spot has always occupied a romantic corner of Russian Hill. You can find traditional tapas and glasses of Verdejo or Ruedo. Try the tortilla española on a chilled afternoon. Read more
Christian Currell BrosstadNovember 23, 2014Amazing sangria. Friendly staff and good solid Spanish tapas! Go there! U can't book a table, but it's worth waiting for. A real local place.
Alex TenetteFebruary 15, 2014Amazing food. All the dishes we ordered was amazing for a really great price. Best octopus I've had. Parking around here suck though. Make reservations.
Time Out San FranciscoSeptember 12, 2014The tapas are always a treat at cosy Zarzuela, where the Spanish cuisine is served amid bullfight posters and maps of Spain. Read more- VarunFebruary 16, 2014The grilled calamari was succulent and tasty; patatas bravas were good too as was the chocolate mouse cake dessert. The baked goat cheese was a disappointment after all its good reviews.

Willa DongJuly 23, 2010share the paella and sangria (& small plates of course) with 1-2 friends and then work off the food baby by walking to the closest bart station. pause occasionally to take in some great views.
S CJune 16, 2011Try the baked goat cheese in tomato sauce, mushrooms sautéed in garlic garlic sauce, & chorizo in wine sauce. Then wash it all down with Sangria, repeat.
Mark RojasMay 26, 2010This place is absolutely amazing! Very typical Spanish cuisine, with all sorts of Paella but my favorite are the tapas. Mushroom, calamari, potatoes... Accompanied by a nice bottle of Rioja=Perfection

"Best wine bar in SF. Formerly a Sake Bar -- now includes some of the best, small vintage wines you can order by the glass. Only nine or so seats, very intimate and chill."
