Creamy tomato bisque walls and rubbed wood floors provide a comfortable setting for a dinner of Italian comfort food at Antica Trattoria, a storefront restaurant located at the corner of Polk and Union streets in the Russian Hill district--this part of Russian Hill is an area of shops and restaurants that has a distinct neighborhood feel. A small wine bar is located at the rear of the dining room, and the kitchen is partially open.
