AFAR MediaJanuary 22, 2015With a stunning view of the Bay Bridge, stylish design, and an easygoing vibe, the Americano Bar is an ideal spot for an end-of-the-day drink. Read more
Staff PicksJuly 24, 2014Beautiful views of the Bay, outside seating on the Embarcadero, yummy food and a drink in hand. Sounds like a perfect Friday night at the Americano Restaurant & Bar.

- Start with the grilled peach burrata bruschetta, the pork meatballs, and steak salad. Then get the mushroom-fontina-truffle pizza and burger! Side of spicy fries. Oh yes, it's very bomb-dot-com! :)
- LaurenNovember 11, 2013Hour hour 3-6 pm. This place definitely caters to the finance crowd, so don't wear jeans if you want to fit in. Definitely sit out back, if you arrive early enough grab one of the couch benches.
Garet TurnerSeptember 20, 2014They're opening up a grill outside and it's a must try! The outdoor chef and bartender are awesome, but not nearly as awesome as their food and drink.
Hassan AnjumJuly 24, 2013Seared halibut with fig jam was actually pretty good. For appetizers try the brussel sports and the meatballs. All with your favorite drink of course
Surprisingly careful, seasonal food for a hotel restaurant. I've never had a bad experience. A good go-to for business drinks/dinner too.
Bob LeeJanuary 9, 2012Had our holiday party here and was pleasantly surprised by the food quality! Great location too. The only negative was the hostess playing games w/ the bar location we had previously reserved.
Stavria K.June 7, 2018Thank you Barman you learned us St Georges, the best Gin of the town. Thanks God our room was upstairs.
Steven WakuuMay 7, 2018Pretty heavy food, even for lunch. Delicious pizza and appetizers, but everything is made with so much oil!
Great spot for a fancy drink, especially on an expense account. Outdoor seating is nice when the weather is pleasant.
SHOWRUNNERNovember 23, 2012The indoor-outdoor bar at one of our favorite hotels (Hotel Vitale) draws a packed after-work crowd, particularly on one of SF's rare sunny days.
Enjoy the ambiance. Food is creative. Quality's a mixed bag, though. At dinner, I liked the asparagus side dish, with egg and a bread crumb crust. Oh, and don't expect much service.
Gilt CityMay 20, 2011Long day? Come here for their phenomenal happy hour Saturday through Wednesday from 3-6. We're talking $3 beers, $5 wine and $5 well cocktails... with free antipasti (the olives are superb).
Flora HinojosaJune 22, 2016The Mafalde Pasta is good and their pizzas. Great place to relax and unwind for late night dinner.- Excellent breakfast. Spinach and chives omelet, stuffed full of healthy greens. Sourdough bread on the side tasted very nice and freshly baked.
Ray HartjenOctober 17, 2014Cocktails are good. Try the vodka and sage. And for eats, the roasted Brussels sprouts.
Angelica DongalloOctober 4, 2016Happy hour daily, 3-6pm. The patio is a great spot, even when it's cold!
Marcy MaxwellAugust 28, 2015Happy hour outside patio on Embarcadero is everything on a nice afternoon.
Krysten WasikSeptember 11, 2016Super busy here during happy hour. Families be warned this place is not family friendly!- San Francisco MagazineApril 25, 2013Happy hour is Saturday through Wednesday from 3 to 6 p.m.: $3 beers, $5 wines, and $5 cocktails. Read more
California GirlMarch 31, 2015Definitely get the Fritti Artichoke & Brussel Sprouts. OMIGOD! #foodies #addictive
Stephanie SmithAugust 8, 2013The grilled peach and ricotta crostini may be the best thing I've ever had. Yum.
herm pugayJanuary 29, 2015Champagne St Germaine and small bites plus friendly company is good :) celebrated my friend's final days is SF :(
- BravoJanuary 27, 2010Best out door patio with view of the Bay Bridge, excellent bartenders and great snacks from Chef Paul Arenstam. -Preeti Mistry, Top Chef
Ashley YuehAugust 12, 2012Order the pizza with truffle oil and add prosciutto -- incredibly delicious.- Gilt CityJanuary 11, 2011Thursday, January 20: Divya Gugnani's book launch party for "Sexy Women Eat" @ Americano includes a signed copy, bottomless sparkling wine, light bites, signature cocktails (and advice) from Divya.
Accept the miserable quality service for the great outdoor seating and location.
I like this bar but the service is extremely poor! U wait sometime half an hour before anyone shows up!
Hotel TonightApril 5, 2011Try the signature Americano (crushed orange slices with Campari and Carpano sweet vermouth over ice with a splash of soda water).
- SFGate ManagerJuly 16, 2012It's all about the outdoor patio at this FiDi power spot at the Hotel Vitale.
Not a great HH (there are no deals), but the crowd is "interesting" and on a warm night the view is spectacular.
Come in for breakfast. Best dish on the menu? Eggs Benedict!
