1. A16
$$$ | Marina |Named after a highway that runs through southern Italy, this bustling contemporary trattoria specializes in the food from that region, done very, very well. The menu is stocked with pizza, rustic pastas like maccaronara with ragù Napoletano (a meat sauce), and entrées like braised short rib with polenta. The selection of primarily southern Italian wines, augmented by some California vintages, supports the food perfectly.

- Spicy arrabbiata pizza
- One of the city's best Italian wine programs

2. Bistro Aix
$$$ | Marina | FrenchIn a neighborhood full of trendy minichains, this over-two-decades-old Californian-French spot is the calm elder statesmen for the often rowdy Marina. The food is unfussy (perfect duck leg confit cassoulet; house-smoked salmon and potato galette) and doesn’t try to be anything overly ambitious, yet everything is consistently on the mark. Sit at the L-shape bar and you’re bound to meet a regular who visits every week.
3340 Steiner St., San Francisco, California, 94123, USA415-202–0100Known For
- Honest bistro cooking with quality ingredients
- Rear courtyard with beautiful olive tree
- Warm, romantic atmosphere

3. Causwells
$$ | Marina |There are two personalities to Chestnut Street’s sleek grown-up diner—the double-stack burger that draws burger hounds from dozens of miles away, and the rest of the honest, spruced-up comfort-food menu. It's a local institution that feels partially like a bistro and partially like a modern tavern, and a place where the buzz from the innovative cocktails and delicious eats never disappears.

- Banana bread "grilled cheese"
- Excellent brunch

4. Dynamo Donut & Coffee
$ | Marina |The tiny kiosk on the Marina's yacht harbor is the perfect spot to grab a pick-me-up before a stroll to the Palace of Fine Arts or along the beach. The doughnuts by a former Foreign Cinema pastry chef are universally terrific, from the vanilla bean standby to chocolate star anise, and there's locally roasted coffee for an extra pre-hike jolt.
110 Yacht Rd., San Francisco, California, 94123, USA920–1978Known For
- Maple bacon apple doughnut
- Doughnut flavors specific to each month
- Vegan doughnut options

Rate Includes: Closed Mon. and Tues. -
5. Greens
$$ | Marina |Even as diet trends come and go, this vegetable-focused icon (opened in 1979) continues to be a steadfast favorite for carnivores and vegetarians alike. Despite the lack of meat, the hearty and creative dishes—such as griddle cakes with crimson lentils and spiced cashew cream—really satisfy, and floor-to-ceiling windows give diners a sweeping view of the Marina and the Golden Gate Bridge.
2 Marina Blvd., San Francisco, California, 94123, USA415-771–6222Known For
- Magnificent wood-heavy decor
- Delightful fresh spring rolls filled with locally made tofu

6. Jaranita
$$ | Marina |This excellent, festive restaurant (part of celebrity chef Gastón Acurio's global group) presents a concise menu of Peru culinary staples like ceviche and flaky empanadas. You won't miss the obligatory pisco sour (Jaranita doesn't have a full liquor license), because the "Nikkei Sour" with citrus sake is just as special.
3340 Steiner St., San Francisco, California, 94123, USA655–9585Known For
- Pollo a la brasa (Peruvian roast chicken)
- Beautifully decorated "Yunza" tree
- Leisurely mimosa-filled brunches
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Mon. and Tues. No lunch Wed.–Fri. -
7. Lucca Delicatessen
$ | Marina |Hungry Marina residents gather daily to order excellent, often enormous sandwiches at this neighborhood legend. It's the signature takeaway spot for Marina Green and Crissy Field picnic-goers and has been around since the days of the Hoover Administration. Beyond sandwiches, the deli specializes in hearty homemade Italian specialties like lasagna and meatballs.
2120 Chestnut St., San Francisco, California, 94123, USA415-921–7873Known For
- "#1 Italian Combo" sandwich with assorted cold cuts
- Prepared pastas
- Friendly, efficient staff

8. Maybeck's
$$$$ | Marina |This California-cuisine-centric restaurant might be named after the architect of the nearby Palace of Fine Arts, but it's very much a hip place for contemporary cooking. The menu wildly varies in terms of inspiration, from charred avocado to truffle spaghetti, but each dish is compelling and consistently executed perfectly. A horseshoe-shaped bar anchors the dining room and produces some of the neighborhood's finest cocktails.
3213 Scott St., San Francisco, California, 94123, USA400–8500Known For
- Fantastic desserts
- Beef Wellington on Wednesdays
- Pasta
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Sun. and Mon. No lunch -
9. Tacolicious
$ | Marina |Tacos and tequila draw a young and energetic crowd to this perennial hot spot. Tables with big groups or couples out on casual date nights are topped with chips and guacamole and laden with platters of tortillas bursting with carnitas (shredded pork) or spicy shrimp. If you don't want to speak in a raised voice, this is not the restaurant for you, unless you land one of the few outside tables.
2250 Chestnut St., San Francisco, California, 94123, USAKnown For
- Baja-style Pacific cod tacos
- Chupitos (easy-drinking tequila mixed with fruit shots)
- Festive vibe
