I've been fortunate to eat at some incredible restaurants over the years, and I don't say this lightly: Seven Hills served the best meal I've ever had. My wife and I started with a bottle of the Soave Lepiga and the burrata, which was incredibly fresh, creamy, and the perfect way to begin the evening. She ordered the gemelli, and I went with the tortelloni topped with Spanish truffles. Both pastas were exceptional--perfectly cooked, deeply flavorful, and the kind of dishes that make you slow down because you don't want the meal to end. What really sets Seven Hills apart isn't just the food--it's how effortlessly everything comes together. The pacing, the warm and genuine hospitality, the intimate atmosphere, and the attention to every detail made the entire experience feel special without ever feeling pretentious. Restaurants like this remind you why dining out can be so memorable. It's rare to leave a meal already thinking about when you'll be back, but that's exactly how we felt walking out the door. If you're looking for one of San Francisco's finest dining experiences, Seven Hills belongs at the top of your list. read more

Oh. My. God. How have I dined here 6-7 times and still not left a review!??? This is one of my ALL TIME favorite restaurants in the city! - The duck liver pate never fails, it tastes incredible every single time and there's never been a time I've come here and not gotten it 100/10 - Truffle pasta, 100/10 everything I'd want and more out of a delicate tortellini smothered in a butter sauce and sprinkled with freshly shaved truffle at table side. It's such a treat! Those two are obvi my favs but you can't go wrong with the other menu items. Highly recommend. Excellent service, delicious food, and moody/chill ambiance. read more

We came here with family friends for Monday night dinner and while I had heard good things about Seven Hill, I was blown away by the freshly made pasta. It's really everything I could have wanted. We started off sharing the burrata with grilled peaches and prosciutto di parma salad. A great way to start with some veggies and the peaches were super ripe and sweet! My favorite was the Maccheronchelli which had the perfect texture and held the super flavorful tomato sauce so well! The dish sounds more simple than the pasta options, but this one is a must order if you visit. The pasta + sauce + ricotta makes for an amazing bite with the right amount of chew. We also tried the corn agnolotti, beef casoncelli, and mushroom tagliolini along with the house foccacia and garlic & parm foccacia. The pastas were all delicious and packed with flavor.The foccacias were yummy and more chewy with a whole wheat texture than expected. They were good but I'd still prefer traditional fluffy foccacia. read more

This restaurant is located in a very charming residential neighborhood. One thing to keep in mind is that parking can be extremely difficult to find. We ended up driving around the area several times looking for a spot and arrived 15 minutes late for our reservation. I highly recommend arriving much earlier than your reservation time if you're driving. The restaurant itself was a little dimly lit, but it had a lovely atmosphere. Every staff member and server we interacted with was incredibly friendly and welcoming. There is also outdoor seating available, which looked very cozy and private, with small curtains and heaters to keep guests warm. Everything we ordered was delicious. The garlic bread was good, but not necessarily a must-order item. The pasta was excellent--perfectly seasoned, neither too salty nor too bland, and the portion size was just right. The American Wagyu carpaccio was absolutely outstanding and easily the highlight of the meal. Highly recommended. Overall, we had a wonderful birthday dinner and really enjoyed our experience. The only small thing I would mention is that it might be nice if the restaurant offered a little something for guests celebrating special occasions like birthdays. It's certainly not necessary, but small touches like that can make the experience feel a bit more memorable. That said, this is just a personal preference. Overall we had a good time here! read more

I'm not a regular at Italian restaurants so I will say that. Nothing too special about this place Got the maccheroncell, tomato braised polpette, and mushroom pappardelle. All were decent but none stood out. The three was a great amount for 2 people. read more

Seven Hills has been in my bookmarks for ages, so I was super excited when my partner and I were able to snag a day-of reservation for a late night dinner. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share family style: - Fior di Latte Burrata (peach burrata salad): it's stone fruit season so of course we had to order this, and it did not disappoint. The ingredients were so fresh and tasty! - Corn agnolotti: FAVE DISH HANDS DOWN. The corn filling was so sweet and creamy and the pasta was cooked perfectly. I would've licked the plate if I were eating at home lol. - Mushroom tagliolini: the pasta was al dente and the mushrooms were fragrant and buttery. It didn't wow us like the corn but was definitely a solid dish. - Focaccia bread pudding: I'm a sucker for bread pudding and focaccia is one of my favorite breads, so we had to order it. The blueberries were so fresh, the cream wasn't too sweet, and the focaccia base meant the texture wasn't as spongy as your typical bread pudding. - Espresso martini: this was more espresso than sweet, which is just how I like it! - Americano spritz: this was refreshing but was more citrusy than coffee. Our reservation was for the last time slot but we never felt rushed through our meal, even when we were the second to last table remaining at the end of the night, which I really appreciated. Our server was also attentive but didn't bother us too much. The lighting is a little dim but not to the point where you can't see what you're eating, so just the right amount of ambiance. This is a great spot for a little date night, or if you just want good pasta w a small group of friends. I'll definitely be back for the corn agnolotti! read more

My coworker is always raving about seven hills, so I made a reservation there for a late Valentine's Day dinner, and it did not disappoint! I love that they have a rotating menu with special off menu items. We ended up getting the Rockefeller oysters, burrata salad, duck liver pate, shortrib agnolotti, and shredded duck tagliatelle. First off - the Rockefeller oysters. I have come such a long way with oysters. I used to hate oysters, but have recently started enjoying raw ones. This was my first time having baked oysters. Personally, I loved the seasoning on this one - the oysters were topped with I think garlic, breadcrumbs, and a bunch of herbs or other seasonings. I just thought there was too much oyster for me since these were bigger oysters. On the other hand, the bf liked the size of the oysters, but thought there was too much happening with the toppings. Next up - the burrata salad. This was stellar! Soooo good, def my fave dish of the night. The burrata was paired with some mixed greens, citrus, pomegranate pieces, and pistachios. Everything just tasted soooo fresh, and the pistachios added such an unexpected nuttiness that balanced perfectly with the burrata. 10/10! Then - the duck liver pate. I grew up on viet sandwiches, so I love pate. I haven't had as much duck liver pate, but this was pretty good, especially with the fruit marmalade on top. This was actually one of my most anticipated dishes here. My only gripe was that the bread was a bit hard and it felt like a bit too much pate and bread for an appetizer. I think I would have preferred just two pieces instead of four, and with each piece cut in half so that they're bite size pieces. Next - the two pasta dishes. Both were good! I had hoped they would have a squid ink pasta on the menu, but not that day, maybe next time! This was my first time having angolotti - it was like a cross between a tortellini and a ravioli. The shortrib inside was nice and tender, and I liked the tiny potato pieces that came with the sauce which was light and almost brothy. The tagliatelle was also pretty good. I'm just more of a pappardelle gal, so I would have liked a thicker noodle. The duck was interesting! If I hadn't known it came with duck, I would have thought it was shredded beef. Finally - tiramisu! I can never say no when tiramisu is offered as a dessert. This was good, no notes. Overall, I enjoyed our meal and would go back just for the burrata and to try other seasonal dishes. The service was also great, and I totally did not expect them to change our plates after every dish! read more

My partner and I came to Seven Hills for the first time for their Valentine's dinner prefix menu. I haven't had too many prefix dinners (vegetarian, my options are usually limited) so my expectations were muted, but as soon as we walked in we were greeted warmly and seated early in a comfortable, dimly lit romantic setting. Our server was very chatty and friendly and explained menu items to us and suggested wine pairings + offered us generous pours before we made our drink decisions. My partner initially ordered an old fashioned, which didn't blow his mind, so we stuck to wine after that. My review is for the vegetarian menu - my boyfriend ordered the oysters, wagyu carpaccacio, rotolo al forno, braised short rib (his highlight of the menu) and and fully enjoyed his meal. First course - Citrus salad I wasn't a huge fan of this. It was refreshing and flavorful but I would have preferred something a little more substantial to start my meal. At a certain point I felt like a was just eating sliced oranges. Second course - Beetroot spaghettini This was the highlight for me! The portion was generous and it was absolutely delicious - super creamy and satisfying. We could have ended the meal here and I would have been content. Third course - Acquerello risotto This dish was delicious on its own, but combined with the spaghettini it felt unbalanced. I was hoping it would be heavier on the mushrooms than risotto - but it was very salty and rich and I think it could've been replaced with a more vegetable forward dish. Finally for dessert we ordered the tiramisu and panna cota. I could pass on the panna cota but the tiramisu was one of the best I've had. So light and flavorful. After our huge dinner it was the perfect amount of delicate sweetness to finish things off. We had a lovely time, walked away so full and satisfied and will definitely come back for more delicious dishes and lovely memories! read more

Parking is extremely difficult around the area! Recommend looking on Polk for parking. Atmosphere is loud on the inside as tables are close together. Pasta is delicious but on the saltier side. Expect to spend 40+ per person if you order appetizers. Service is quick. The Duck Liver Pate appetizer is on the sweeter side and reminds me a bit of strawberry jam. Doesnt have a distinct Pate taste if thats what you're expecting. Burrata was on the harder side, tasted more like mozzarella. I did enjoy the fruits in the burrata. Lobster squid ink pasta was the special of the day. It's delicious but for 40 dollars, I expected a larger portion. Macheroncelli was delicious with the ricotta cheese. I like the al dante pasta. Highly recommend. read more

n writing this review, my only disappointment is that I can't give them six stars! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed as if we were old family friends from our hostess. She gently showed us into a waiting area and showed us the previews of the menus. Less than three minutes later on a very busy Saturday night,we were seated at a very comfortable table. Once we are seated, our wait person Dereck brought us still and sparkling water. we ordered a bottle of bubbles to start our dinner adventure. After reviewing the menu with us and explaining the specials, we moved onto the first course. To in our party shared the meatballs, which they raved about... My wife had the prosciutto salad, which was a very generous portion... And I had the raw fish crudo of amberjack from Hawaii. Marvelous! Our main courses were an assortment of their housemaid pastas...one pappardelle, one tagliatelle, one maccheroncelli and The squid ink pasta with lobster special. These were prepared and presented with perfection. Dereck did a wonderful job in guiding us through our dining experience. We did score a couple of delicious desserts, one of which being a chocolate budino and the other was the bread pudding.. I had a hard time sharing the budino..It was so good. Thanks to Alexis For stopping by and greeting our table. Comfortable atmosphere, attentive service, some of the best pasta we've had this side of Italy... It's hard to beat this. Our family was thrilled and couldn't stop talking about it.Thanks again to all the staff, and we look forward to coming back to sample more items of your menu. read more

I felt like I was back in Italy. From the service, wine list to the food it was so great. We sat in the back room, and started with a fresh snap pea salad and carpaccio. Both were great, the salad was fresh and crispy, and the meat was delicate and full of flavor. We each had pasta, again it was excellent in execution, flavor and balanced. We've been here before and will definitely come back again. read more

We had a reservation and were seated right away! The space wasn't too cramped and it was pretty quiet, easy to have a conversation. The wait staff was attentive, making sure we heard the specials and gave us plenty of time to make a decision. The truffle tortellini had a super rich ricotta cheese filling, but I thought the shaved truffle on top didn't add anything besides flare. As for the squid ink pasta, the lobster was tender and well seasoned but the pasta itself could have had more flavor. The foccacia was fine, nothing to write home about. Would recommend coming for a nice date night :) read more

Excellent Italian spot in San Francisco with outstanding pasta and great ambiance for a nicer dining experience. The maccheroncelli was absolutely delicious with elbow shaped pasta cooked perfectly al dente, good chew and texture. The slightly spicy tomato sauce was great and the ricotta on top was really creamy. The squid ink pasta with lobster had excellent texture and flavor with a creamy red sauce. Small bits of lobster fit in well and wasn't too overpriced. The garlic and parmesan focaccia is such a good deal at $8 and hit the spot. Super garlicky, basically like very cheesy garlic bread on thinner toasted focaccia. The focaccia itself was really good so I want to try it plain next time. Highly recommend as an appetizer. The duck liver pate had an apple butter that made it unexpectedly sweet, way too much for me. Wouldn't get it again but not marking down the restaurant for one dish that just wasn't my taste. The ambiance was fairly nice, a little dim which I liked for a more intimate dining experience. It got quite loud in the front section where we sat but it was bearable. Service was excellent with our main waiter being super helpful and attentive. Food came out with really nice timing. Went here for our one year anniversary and would come back to try more pasta dishes. Parking is pretty tough in the area so leave time for that or use a rideshare. It's within walking distance from Lombard Street which is a cute spot for sunset photos. read more

WOW. This is hands down some of the best pasta I've had in SF -- not to mention the service is incredible and the ambiance is so charming. Tucked away in Russian Hill, it looks very unassuming from the outside. But all of their pasta is made in house (even the flour is milled in house!) and they use the freshest ingredients. We started with the 24 Month Prosciutto di Parma after seeing it on the table next to us, and it was the perfect delicate balance of savory, sweet, and citrus. I could eat buckets and buckets of this salad. My friend had the Maccheroncelli, which our server said was the most popular pasta dish. The ricotta mixed into the spicy tomato sauce so well to create a creamy spicy pasta dish that reminded me of the spicy rigatoni from Carbone, but much much lighter! When I come back, I'll definitely go for this one. Generous portion and well priced for the quality at $26! I had the Pappardelle, which was our servers personal favorite. The sheets of pappardelle had herbs pressed into them and it was the perfect mushroom lover's pasta. Again, not too heavy even though it was very creamy! Seven Hills lived up to all of the hype and I truly can't wait to come again and try the next seasonal menu. read more

Cute Italian spot in Nob Hill that feels like a nice in between of old school and modern, and with a farm to table focus (which I love and i could rlly taste how fresh everything was) - Tomato braised polpette: Really good meatballs, super tender and has cheese inside. The tomato sauce was fresh and delicious. The sourdough was not sour but still good - Squid ink fettuccine w/ dungeness crab: I may be biased bc I love crab and this was delicious. Sauce was creamy, garlicky, umami, and a little spicy. Probably made with some kind of shellfish broth? Noodles were peeeerfectly al dente - Maccheroncelli: The tomato sauce mixed with the ricotta was soooo good, and the pasta had a really nice chew. Creamy but not too heavy at all. - Rhubarb pan cotta: fine but I've had better, both the jam and panna cotta itself were a little too sweet for me. Portions were on the bigger side. I left very satisfied and took home a bit of leftovers. read more

We had the: * Daikon Radish Fior di Latte Burrata for $24 (appetizer/antipasta) * Garlic & Parmesan Focaccia Bread for $8 (4 slices) * Squid Ink Lobster Special $40/each (main course) * Strawberry Sparkler $14 (Seascape strawberry, passionfruit, lime) poured into a wine glass over ice (it was half filled and with half of it being ice, wasn't worth the price in my opinion, would've preferred a soda instead) Tips: Reservations are HIGHLY recommended if you want good seating. You can choose indoor or patio through the OpenTable app. A credit card is required to reserve a table, though it's not listed at the time of booking that there's a $25 charge if you don't cancel within 24 hours. I found this out by calling the restaurant. The owner, Alexis, actually called me back very quickly, was extremely kind, and even offered to take my name down without requiring a card since it was our first time. He only asked that we call a couple of hours prior if we needed to cancel. I thought that was excellent customer service. At the time of arrival, the staff was VERY attentive and friendly. We had 5:15 pm dinner reservations, and the place filled up quickly around 6 pm. The food was very flavorful. I do wish the serving sizes were slightly bigger, to be honest. It definitely had the "ambiance" vibe--great flavors, decent prices--but after our appetizers, bread order, and small portions of handmade pasta, we were still a little hungry. To be fair, it was probably a normal-sized serving for one person each, but no leftovers. So if you arrive very hungry, you may end up ordering a couple of extra dishes, which is something to keep in mind with the pricing. They also don't serve soda, which I'm guessing is part of the trade-off for the "mood setting" the restaurant is going for. Overall: Alexis, the owner, was great over the phone, the service was very fast and friendly, and the staff was quick to clear finished plates from our table. The food was delicious and flavorful, but the portions were on the smaller side. We had a great time overall, and for our first visit, we'll definitely be coming back and would recommend it to someone. * Customer service/staff: 5/5 * Food rating: 4/5 * Portion sizing for price: 3/5 = Overall rating: 4/5 read more

Slowly trying new restaurants in SF that I'm hoping will be on par with NYC. Happy to say that Seven Hills will be on our rotation of restaurants to visit. Booked an early reservation but walked in much earlier at 5pm on a weeknight. The place was fairly empty but started getting busier around 530-6pm. We ordered the Beef Tartare and Hawaiian Kanpachi off of the specials, and the Pappardelle and Campanelle Verde off of the regular pasta menu. The Beef Tartare was pretty simple (not much going on here but good beef quality) but the star of this dish was the garlic bread. Holy moly is this garlic bread amazing. They said they sell this bread on the regular menu, so when we come back we plan on just ordering the garlic bread. The Kanpachi was good but not amazing. Wasn't as citrus forward (which I prefer) but the strawberry component was interesting. Onto the pastas, aka why we came here. The Pappardelle was amazing. Sooooo delicious, perfectly al dente and I also LOVE mushrooms so it was perfect flavor wise. However, they grate the parm that goes on top of the pasta in the kitchen, and after a couple of bites the dish became way too heavy. I wish they did the cheese grating tableside so I could've controlled how much cheese was on this already heavy dish, but at least I know for next time to say no cheese or on the side. My partner enjoyed his Campanelle (also perfectly al dente and the rabbit was tasty) but we both enjoyed the Pappardelle more! read more

I had high hopes for this place but left disappointed. Dined on a Sunday and our waiter was covering at least 6 tables alone (two of them were parties of at least 6 people), seemed like they were short staffed. Food -Garlic & Parmesan focaccia 4/5 -Burrata 3.5/5 (fruit was very tart and the stems weren't removed from the figs) -Pappardelle 3/5 (bland) -Casoncelli 4/5 (lukewarm but good flavor) -Panna cotta 2/5 (had an odd aftertaste, like it was slightly rancid) Drinks -Espresso martini 5/5 -Bourgogne Blanc, Saint-Veran, Les Pierres Grises (France) 2023 5/5 The food was just okay, nothing to write home about. My partner dined here during restaurant week and said it was much better so maybe they were having an off night. read more

Lived up to the hype for me! Probably my favorite Italian spot in the bay. We ordered a bit of everything, and every dish hit the spot. The Mozzarella Di Bufala was a refreshing start - creamy, sweet, and perfectly balanced. The Zuppa Stagionale had just the right blend of cream and fresh tomato, with a subtle kick of heat that rounded it out nicely. For the main, I ordered the Maccheroncelli, which the waiter mentioned is a staple on their menu and has been on it for 12 years. Made with crushed tomato, chili, basil, and house-made ricotta, it was simple but incredibly flavorful. The chili adds a low, lingering heat, and the ricotta brought it all together. For dessert, the melon sorbet nailed the true taste of melon - authentic and fresh, without a trace of artificial flavor. And the chocolate boudin was rich, creamy, and finished with a nice touch of salt to round out the dish and balance the sweetness. It has a great date night ambiance with the dim lights but also plenty of tables for larger groups. Can't wait to go back! read more

Amazing place! Casual neighborhood vibe with impeccable service. The food was outstanding! The wagyu carpaccio was to die for topped with garlic aioli dressed arugula, radish, and Parmesan yum!!!! The duck pate was very good but slightly overpowered by the orange marmalade on top. The special pasta of the night was a squid ink pasta with crab. It was perfectly executed and tasted of the sea. The star dish was the tagliatelle- crumbled sausage, herbs, and Parmesan cream sauce. Amazing! One note- Beer and wine only! read more

Came here for a birthday dinner with my partner last year after hearing a couple friends rave about the food! Located in posh Russian Hill, this restaurant felt elevated inside with mood lighting and nice plateware. We got the duck liver paté appetizer to start, and it was the first time I've had strawberry jam as a pairing -- and am happy to report the sweet and savory worked pretty well. The housemade foccacia also had a nice crunch on outside and poofy inside. We got recommended a squid ink pasta special, which tasted creamy and fresh and I liked the spring paperdelle too. Service was also good, albeit a bit slow. The only issue was that the portion size here is pretty small (especially given the price) so I left still hungry Thankfully there were plenty of businesses open on Polk that I could dip into to grab another casual bite. The fresh ingredients here are awesome, but expect more of a tasting-esque experience than a hearty meal! read more

We had dinner there last night. Restaurant week, but to get the special menu (because there was one share dish) we both needed to order it. My wife didn't want quite that much food. Usually I rate Seven Hills as a 5 star place, we have had many great experiences there. But last night both glasses of wine were disappointing (and they have a great wine list) and I felt the service was not quite we expected. It wasn't bad, but in the past our server always made us feel special. Last night it was just "Oh well, another night out." The food was still very good. read more

Came in with my husband for dinner and had a really enjoyable meal. We started with the carpaccio and the garlic parmesan focaccia. Both were great. The carpaccio was fresh and flavorful, and I especially loved the tomatoes that came with it. The focaccia was warm, soft, and packed with garlicky, cheesy goodness. For our mains, we shared the pappardelle and the New York steak. The pappardelle sauce was fantastic, rich and well balanced, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The steak was also excellent, cooked just the way we asked, and came with a creamy risotto that we both really enjoyed. Service was decent and the vibes inside were nice and cozy. It was a bit loud during our visit, but overall we had a great time and would definitely come back to try more. read more

Prefacing by saying the duck pate is one of my top bites of the new year. Booked a reservation online for two for a weekend evening at 5pm when they opened. Opted to sit outside as their parklets are beautifully done. Curtains at the entrance and heaters above each table make for an intimate and almost private space in the parklet. The inside of the restaurant is pretty though so you can't go wrong whether inside or outside. Star of the show was the duck liver pate and pastas. Duck liver was generously served with a light sweet, earthy taste. Pasta-wise we opted for their two specials - truffle tortellini with freshly shaved French black truffles and squid ink fettuccine with Dungeness crab. Of the two, I liked the fettuccine more, which had generous pieces of crab and a sauce that was reminiscent of a crab/shellfish broth. The truffle tortellini has a generous shaving of truffle and each tortellini popped with a creamy ricottas Service was professional yet friendly. They clear your plate before new courses. Water regularly refreshed. read more

This is a phenomenal Italian spot in Nob hill! And perfect for special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries! Reservations on open door. Quiet and intimate vibe with wonderful service. Meal is coursed out after ordering which was lovely. We started with the Tomato Braised Polpette which were yummy but nothing over the top amazing. 4/5 Next we tried the Maccheroncelli and this was OUR FAVORITE DISH!!! Very simple ingredients but AMAZING flavor and texture. The house made ricotta was phenomenal. 5/5 Our main was the pork chop which was delicious but nothing spectacular. A little fatty which is to be expected with the cut. Don't get me wrong it was still good! 4/5 We finished off our meal with the chocolate budino which was rich and delicious.

The drinks were good, nothing special. The garlic and Parmesan focaccia was crispy on the outside but soft and fluffy on the inside. The Tomato Braised Polpette was nicely seasoned and very flavorful. It came with bread pieces on the side but we also used the garlic and Parmesan focaccia to dip it in the tomato sauce. The Maccheroncelli was chewy and delicious. I loved the texture of the pasta and the ricotta paired really well with the tomato flavor. The squid ink seafood pasta was probably the best dish we tried. The noodles were slippery and soft and the sauce that coated them was amazing. This dish was one of the chef's specials and I can see why. I will definitely be back here to try other menu items. read more

Wow! We had a great meal here. I took my friend for her birthday--we had reservations for a little after 8:00. They were crowded but beginning to thin out by the time our food arrived (though we were by no means the last table seated). We split the burrata with grilled peach and wild arugula (and a few other fruits) and the salad with blue cheese. Both were excellent, but the grilled peach and burrata was out of this world. The char on the peach was perfect and there was just the right amount of flaky, crunchy salt on the burrata so that when you got the two in one bite, it was the kind of thing that makes you pause and appreciate it. My friend had the maccheroncelli tomato and ricotta. The chili gave the sauce some nice, subtle eat (I was fortunate enough to get a bite). I had one of the specials, a squid ink pasta with tomato sauce and lobster. It was, again, the kind of plate that makes you slow down and appreciate each bite. For dessert, we split the peach sorbetto. It, too, was awesome. Great way to end the night. Service was great--friendly, present, but not hovering or intrusive. There was a good mix of casual diners and people (like us) there for special occasions. It was lively, but not so loud that we couldn't hear each other. read more
