San Francisco’s landmark vegetarian restaurant has been showcasing seasonal vegetables grown on nearby farms and dazzling diners with views of the Bay and Golden Gate Bridge since it opened in 1979. A new outdoor dining pavilion offers additional seating options, and the Greens-to-go menu is available for takeout and delivery.

Colombia and Venezuela meets California at this family-owned spot that opened in 2018, which means a menu of dishes like burrata with cilantro pepitas and avocado, pork loin with passion fruit, and steak with chimichurri and yuca fries. Dine in or outside for lunch or dinner or call for takeout.

For a little piece of North Beach, head to Lucca's, the 80-year-old Italian shop where salami hangs from the ceiling and the obvious order is the #1 Italian combo (salame, ham, mortadella, provolone, mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, mild Italian pepper). There are a ton of other sandwiches, plus heaping salads, antipasti, meats, and cheeses to satisfy your Italian-American cravings. Plus, it's family owned, which is always feel-good.

The Marina is home to the first U.S. outlet of Hinoya Curry, one of Tokyo’s most popular curry chains — and if you didn’t know, curry chains are big business in Japan. Hinoya serves a classic version of the somewhat sweeter, milder Japanese style of curry, made with a beef broth cooked anywhere from 48 to 100 hours, depending on the size of the batch. A succinct menu includes pork katsu curry, chicken katsu curry, crab croquette curry, and vegetable croquette curry to go with a selection of Japanese beer and sake.

Delarosa used to be one’s second choice when no tables were free at A16, but now that that’s less of an issue, it can stand alone for its satisfying casual Italian fare (pizzas, pastas, small plates) that you can enjoy inside or at an outdoor table (reserve here) or order to-go (order here).

Chef Roger Chong and his wife are the force behind this funky sushi spot, which has a devoted following of regulars. Chong procures some more exotic fish offerings that sway farther from the basic yellowtail, salmon and white fish fray, which he's known for arranging in large-scale sashimi platters.

The celebratory Jaranita offers a casual setting for wide-ranging Peruvian cuisine, from the raw bar (cebiches and tiraditos) and the wood-fired rotisserie and charcoal grill (churassco, lomo soltado). Drawing in Marina-dwellers with happy hours, themed brunches, and other special events, Jaranita means “street party,” and that’s the vibe here.

Once known as the place to party in the Marina, the outdoor patio at Tipsy Pig is now its salvation, decked out with TVs, string lights, and plant-covered lattice walls. It’s a popular Marina setting for good beers, strong drinks, and standard gastropub-style brunch and dinner fare.

After 24 years, Alegrias founders Cesar and Nora have sailed off into retirement, but its new owners (including chef Jose Ortez, who worked with Cesar for 17 years) are keeping the paella and sangria party going. Head in for classic hot and cold tapas and paella preparations aplenty in a homey dining room with white table cloths.

For fresh pasta, pizza, and spritz flights in a lively Marina setting, look to Norcina, the first full-service, sit-down restaurant from talented chef Kaitlynn Bauman. For pasta, Bauman pairs pappardelle with a rich brisket ragu and fills a big solo raviolo with a golden egg yolk surrounded by green garlic ricotta. The pizza is Neapolitan style and sourdough leavened, and comes in both white and red varieties. Don’t miss the DIY s’mores for dessert.

Causwells is known for its bomb.com burger, but you'd be remiss to overlook the rest of the Southern-leaning seasonal menu of salads, hush puppies, cornbread and more. There's something for everyone, making it a great pick when dining with a disparate group.

The opening of Karaweik in 2019 helped broaden the Marina’s Eastern-heavy dining scene, adding a cozy setting for classic Burmese specialties and contemporary street food to the neighborhood, dishes like royal tea leaf salad, paratha with coconut curry, crispy lentil fritters, and vegetarian soups.

Easily the classiest restaurant in the neighborhood, A16's pizzas and award-winning wine selections are the stars here. Order your meal around the pies, and then fill it out with stellar appetizers, salads, and pastas.
