    Raviolo
    Karina P.

    Such a cute little pasta place! Our waiter was so charismatic and made the experience so engaging. Service was also great - the raviolo and the corn gnocchi were out in no time, and both were super unique. Definitely not a place you order your own pasta and expect to be full though - the singular raviolo was probably finished in two bites. But it was really decadent and meant to be savored.

    Overall a nice dining experience! My party of 3 was able to walk-in around 7pm on a weekday with no wait time. We started with the Seven Hills rosemary focaccia ($4), which was okay - I didn't taste much rosemary. The accompanying olive oil was nice. We also tried the octopus carpaccio ($24), which was beautifully presented and had a nice variety of textures. We split the mushroom gnocchi ($27), which was simple and very rich. I wish there were more delta asparagus. The lasagnette ($28) was hot and crispy. It was a unique take on a classic dish, with all the familiar flavors and a large portion. We also ordered a side of the zarate farm broccolini ($13), which was very lemony and helped cut some of the richness from the pastas. For desserts, we tried both the tiramisu, which was standard (I did like the chocolate shavings instead of cocoa powder), as well as the butterscotch budino, which was one of the best bites I've had in a long time. Impeccably creamy, rich, and decadent - not too sweet and well-balanced. Service was good. There was a decent chunk between finishing our pastas and getting our dessert. The ambience is cozy and the lighting seemed dark before sunset but levelized after the sun went down.

    Really lovely spot with a cozy and calm vibe. We got the seasonal truffle pasta and it was so good, light truffle flavor, very delicate, and made with fresh truffles. Not overpowering at all, which I appreciated. The chicken dish was also good, just a little salty for my taste. We also tried desserts and enjoyed them, everything felt nicely done. It feels like more of a date night place, quiet, intimate, and not loud. Tables are a bit close, but it still feels comfortable. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a romantic dinner with flavorful and well made dishes.

    Loved Collina! Such a small, cozy spot that truly feels like being in Italy. The wine was great, and the appetizers started off really strong. Even the salad stood out, so fresh and flavorful. The mushroom gnocchi was fantastic, and honestly some of the best pasta I've had in SF. Everything felt simple in the best way, just really well done. Our waitress was so friendly and kind, which made the experience even better. Definitely recommend coming here.

    One of my favorite meals out in a while. The menu options are so unique and everything tasted delicious -- and portions were surprisingly really huge for an Italian spot! I left so full. We started with a cheese dip (a special for the day) which had pesto & brie and came with crispy crostini. Super cheesy and delicious. We also got the ricotta toast which was also so good! Loved the slightly sweet ricotta & sliced fruit on top. The raviolo was also a really rich dish with all the brown butter (amazing to dip the focaccia with) and runny egg and cheesy filling. Definitely worth the hype. Also deceivingly filling for one piece! The only dish I thought was underwhelming was the lasagnette. It looks impressive but flavor-wise didn't wow me, and I expected it to be much crispier than it was. Portion is quite large though. So glad we got dessert since the butterscotch budino was fantastic! It's super sweet and decadent and the perfect combo of creamy, smooth, and crunchy textures. Would definitely order again. They also kindly let me take the leftovers home in the glass jar since we were stuffed! Service was wonderful and very attentive & knowledgeable about the menu. Ambiance inside is cute for a date night or nice meal out with friends! Very impressed by this spot and would highly recommend!

    Summary: Rich, yet well-balanced Italian eats Details: My experience at Seven Hills several years ago wasn't super memorable, so I didn't have particularly high expectations going in to Collina to celebrate a birthday meal. However, I came out more than pleasantly surprised! While some dishes like the raviolo were super, super buttery rich, the other seasonings were all pretty well-balanced: nothing was too salty, sweet, or whatever else, with the only miss for the entire meal being the tiramisu, which I found to be a little too wet, and also... minty? But the raviolo, tagliatelle, and focaccia were all quite excellent, making this an absolutely re-visit for me. That said, one other con is that parking in this area has always been notoriously/historically difficult: much more so than other neighborhoods in the city, to where I always expect to spend at least 20min+ looking. So, either come early, be prepared to walk (up and down a lot of hills), or rideshare over. Accessibility: The restaurant itself is plenty accessible, with lots of accessible tables and spacious enough areas. The neighborhood itself, is a different story, and can be a bit difficult if you struggle with hills.

    Beautiful lowkey, cozy restaurant in the nob hill area! Came here for dinner on a thursday evening: the interior had dim lighting with candles lit everywhere, and tables all seated closely together. Perfect spot for a date night or fancy meal with friends. We ordered the following: - Della fattoria toast: this was so good. toast was crunchy, which paired well with the savoriness of the prosciutto and the sweetness of the pear slices and honey. also very aesthetically pretty - Raviolo: I think this is the most popular dish here - one singular ravioli with an egg yolk in the middle, paired with bread. The ricotta filling was tasty, but the overall dish was very rich and sweet. cooked really well but I'm not the biggest fan of sweet entrees so probably wouldn't order again - Heritage chicken: chicken was very juicy and tender, and I loved the skin on top. the potatoes were also crispy and the greens added a nice fragrant taste that really complimented the chicken. - Tiramisu: fluffy, not too dense, and I liked the cocoa powder shavings on top Service was also great and everyone was very nice. Overall, very pleasant experience and would definitely come back again

    Have been meaning to try the little sister to Seven Hills. This place is cute but bright if you sit by a window while the sun is setting. Luckily they have a shade that you can adjust. Staff was prompt but not overbearing. Food was delicious. I thought that the raviolo looked very oily but once you break the yolk and sop up the goodness with the focaccia it was the perfect amount. The squash blossoms were the most disappointing. They were in desperate need of some salt. The blood orange soda was delightful. And the best part was the price. I think we both had a drink, 3 appetizers, and 2 pastas for less than 120$. We typically grab dinner for no less than 160$ in the city. This is a new contender for best pasta spot for pasta Saturdays! We'll be back!

    Was completely blown away by this sister restaurant of Seven Hills -- and honestly, I felt like I got even better value for the experience. The atmosphere is perfect for a date night, with its warm, romantic lighting and intimate vibe -- though it turned out to be just as lovely for a girls' night out! It was buzzing on a Friday evening, but we still managed to grab a reservation the day before. We kicked things off with Hugo spritzes, arancini, and the baby kale salad. Every bite impressed: the spritz was light and refreshing, the arancini packed far more flavor than most I've tried, and the salad was a perfect balance of textures with an exceptional dressing. The pastas more than lived up to the stellar start. The agnolotti stole the show -- each bite bursting with rich, layered flavor -- followed closely by the spaghettini, which had spot-on texture and depth. Surprisingly, we actually liked the giant raviolo the least, despite it being the restaurant's signature dish -- it leaned quite sweet and almost dessert-like. While everything we ordered was vegetarian, our group of three still left feeling completely satisfied (and very full).

    Collina is a cute restaurant with friendly servers. As my boyfriend and I arrived, we were promptly greeted and then situated at our table. It was extremely warm that day and the server was kinda enough to bring down the blinds for us. Cucumbers in a crème fraiche dill sauce-(3/5) This was indeed a refreshing dish but pretty one dimensional in terms of flavor. Personally would've liked a bit of salt on the cucumbers. Baby kale salad (3/5) the fresh greens were a nice starter prior to the heavy entrees we had. Again, the flavors were one dimensional and there were close to no sauce that coated the greens. I did enjoy the different textures of the squash and nuts in contrast to the light crunchy greens. Veal (4/5) the veal was cooked perfectly and meat was succulent. I adored the outer crust which gave a nice bite in contrast to the tender meat. Black truffle pasta (4/5) the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and I enjoyed the buttery aromatic sauce that coated the pasta. Service is impeccable here but food can be a hit or miss. Would definitely come back to try their other menu items.

    So excited I finally got to try Collina- the sister restaurant to seven hills! Very cozy and intimate atmosphere. We stopped by around 8pm on a Thursday night and were able to grab a seat at the bar. We had the squash blossoms, mussels and tagliatelle. Can't go wrong- it was all amazing! Service was great and timed out our dishes well! Definitely worth checking out.

    Lasagnetta
    Lizzie S.

    We love Seven Hills so of course we love Collina! Wonderful service and ambiance and food. It's cozy and welcoming, feeling slightly smaller and more intimate than Seven Hills, but similar. I can't imagine parking here--lots of people walking around out and about, and you could take the cable car! Also close to a few Muni lines. We started off with the Octopus antipasti, then enjoyed the Raviolo and lasagnetta. The raviolo was larger than the one at a certain other well-known SF Italian spot, and I think I may have enjoyed it more in part for that reason! The budino dessert was the icing on the cake. Will definitely be back.

    I was excited to try this place but it was a little bit too rich and heavy to be super enjoyable. I didn't love how the raviolo and bread were just swimming in butter/oil, especially since the inside is runny egg yolk. That combo of textures just wasn't great to me. The lasagnette was good and the layers have some crisp, also a huge portion.

    Saffron tomato arancini - basically to die for.

Amelia recommended one pasta dish per person in the party, to share family style (which ended up working well for us, since we also got three appetizers, and finished the meal with a small amount of yummy leftovers for tomorrow) so that's what we did, along with the starters... We got the "big juicy meatballs with tomato and pancetta," which were incredible; the bread was delicious and certainly is not just a side to the amazing (definitely juicy) herbed tender meatballs. I'd definitely get this again, along with the grilled zucchini with worm salt and mint, which was so flavorful and tasty. We also got the smokey romano beans with fire roasted tomato, which was also really good but just keep in mind the emphasis on the smokey flavor! It wasn't my cup of tea but that's for sure a personal thing. For pastas, I'd rank them in this order: 1. our favorite was today's lasagna du jour, which was mushroom! So delicious, with a crispy cheesy crust, soft tender interior, and an almost caramelized tomato sauce accompanying. 2. Reginette with pork sugo (meat sauce) and spicy turnip greens was next, which had wonderful flavor with the tomato-based sauce and pieces of pork but if you like it slightly softer texture it might not be for you (same with the fusilli; the go-to preparation is aldente!). 3. Fusilli alla vodka with tomato, calabrian chili, cream, basil, and added garlic butter shrimps; this one's sauce felt a little underwhelming and more watery than creamy, and I'm just now realizing that although the menu said four garlic butter shrimp (an extra $7), we only got three. I think I'd come back for the lasagna and/or to buy the pasta from their expansive stock, cook it a bit longer, and serve it covered in a decadent creamy sauce.
