Many visitors may not realize but the fact is that San Francisco is perhaps the most sought-after dining destination in the entire North American continent. There is just no other place that offers so many ethnically-varied cuisines served through restaurants San Francisco. The city has had a history enriched with the influx of immigrants and those who settled here have contributed towards making San
Francisco’s landscape gastronomically exhaustive by
opening up restaurants San Francisco.

Among the many cross-cultural influences that are seen in San Francisco, none is more apparent than the Italian influence. Italian immigrants have contributed immensely by opening up many restaurants San Francisco that are reputed to serve the best in contemporary and traditional Italian food. The eternal Italian favorites like Cioppino and other varieties of tomato-based stews and Italian breads are now considered a part of the usual San Francisco diet and are no longer looked upon as ‘Italian’ foods. In fact, they are even served by non-Italian themed restaurants San Francisco. Though there are many neighborhoods that boast of restaurants San Francisco offering amazingly refreshing Italian fare, some have managed to create a niche for themselves:

Amarena (2162 Larkin Street)
This place can be described as both an Italian restaurant and a hip hangout for evening outings. However, it is the dinner that has set the Amarena exclusive from the usual restaurants San Francisco, as it is traditional Italian to the core. Yes, a bit of Californian flair might be evident from time-to-time but the preparation is as Italian as anywhere in San Francisco.

Buca di Beppo (855 Howard Street)
Located in the South of Market of the Moscone Convention Center, this is among the best Italian restaurants San Francisco that serves authentic wine along with Italian delicacies like garlic bread, freshly-prepared ravioli and cheesy lasagna.

Kuletos (221 Powell Street)
Perhaps the most bustling of Italian restaurants San Francisco, this is the prefect place to grab a quick bite without spending too much. The pastas are delicious and the raviolis are simply amazing with many other offerings that are infused with olive oil.
