Restaurants near Arguello Park

Amazing experience at Kitchen Istanbul. Everything was exceptional - service, wine, food, dessert. It has been a long while since we’ve had a restaurant hit on every note.

Every sip and bite was phenomenal. Love the lunch special and will absolutely be going back.

A casual place that cooks above its look. The perfect insalata mista. If we lived in the area, we would come often.

Excellent food and service as always. Very happy to see that this lovely restaurant is thriving. Not a ding on the restaurant, but on the SF dining community, please don’t linger at the table chatting once your bill has been paid. These restaurants rely on turning tables, especially one with large groups.

We ate at Bella Trattoria on Friday, Feb 8th (2025). Our reservation was for 7PM, but they were extermely busy and we did not get seated until 7:25PM. They apologized and comped us some Prosecco for keeping us waiting. I had the prix fixe menu, starting with the fagioli e scarole soup (a bitter greens stew with beans and crostini), a main course of Osso Bucco, and fnishing with the panna cotta. Everything was excellent. I tried my dining companions' dishes, Amatriciana (yummy!), and Sorrentina (the most delicate gnocci I've ever had). We will go back.
