This is a dark horse for SF’s best italian food (although I haven’t tried 7 Hills yet). The service is warm and attentive and every dish is delicious. Don’t skip the raviolo and the chicken.

As a visitor from out of town, I wasn’t sure what to expect—but I was blown away by both the quality of the food and the excellent service. I ordered the chicory salad, arancini balls (the charred scallion aioli is to die for!), and, of course, the famous raviolo—a true treat with its decadent brown butter sauce. I only wish I’d saved room for dessert! If I’m ever back in SF, I’ll definitely be returning. Thank you for a memorable meal!

In town for a few days and this was recommended by a local who lives on Russian Hill. It was terrific. The butter pasta with truffle was delicious. The squash blossoms appetizer and Arancini were sooo good. Staff was kind. A great pick!

Very pleasant. Friendly neighbour restaurant. Spills out onto sidewalk. Excellent selection of Italian wines. We had tuna carpaccio, spaghettin, scallops, burrata salad. Very tasty.

We got a last second reservation for three here on a Saturday night. The food was excellent! We had focaccia and red wine, both superb. We got the spaghttini, lasagnette, & Raviolio as our mains. The first two were great on their own, but the raviolio? Transcendent, absolutely incredible, easily the best dish we had while in SF. A must get. We did get a dessert, the strawberry & pistachio cannoili; this was fine I guess, but would definitely skip next time, the only item I was not impressed with.
Now, the service, so remember when I got that last second reservation for three? Turns out I had gotten it for two... This was for a reservation for 45 minutes before closing, btw. Nonetheless, the host was understanding and did everything he could remedy the situation. He explained we would have to wait a little bit longer, naturally, and that we do everything to make this happen. While we were waiting, he checked in several times to see how we were doing, update us, and provide us with a wine list. After a little while, he was able to get us seated, and the service continued to be excellent throughout service. Big points here. I know having idiots make resverations with the wrong amount of people must happen, and sometimes people are doing it on purpose, so I was very pleasantly surprised how much of an effort the host made to alleviate my stupid mistake.
To wrap, the spot is cute, small, with a fittingly short menu. But the choices are excellent, the ambiance is great, and the service is first-class - with very reasonable prices.
We have been a number of times, and we have never had anything but a wonderful experience and amazing food. I cannot recommend one item over another; everything is just so good. A small cozy restaurant, with an amazing team.

We were having trouble parking. Spent 45 minutes circling and then parked 20 minutes away by foot. Arrived half an hour late. Amazingly, our table was waiting for us. Made a bad start to the night immediately better. Many thanks to all the staff for their understanding and for graciously keeping our table for us despite it being peak time on Friday night. Pasta and appetizers were delicious. Had to rush back to get the car before the lot closed so missed dessert. Will definitely come back (by Uber or Lyft) to enjoy again.

Getting together with three close girlfriends on a nice fall evening. Host sat us at a cozy and comfortable table by ourselves looking out to the street. Began our meal with the housemade focaccia bread...airy and light! Heirloom tomato salad with avocado...fresh and flavorful. Fresh Figs on toast with a touch of taleggio cheese...nice presentation and tasty. Lasagnette consisted of countless layers...delicious taste of chicken liver, beef and pork spread on 25+ layers with light ragu...light crunch and Yum! Pan seared scallops were cooked perfectly in a corn puree with cherry tomatoes and green/yellow beans. Lastly, Pork with Pluots and Parmigiano...full of flavor. We shared a Tiramisu for dessert. It was light and delectable. Service was stellar. Will definitely return!
My husband has gluten intolerance problem, so I researched this restaurant before my trip and made a reservation. All the workers are friendly and very nice. They have gluten free home made pasta so they can make a couple noodle dishes for gluten free. The ingredients are all fresh and very impressive. We ordered a couple dishes and we shared since we are not that big eater. Very satisfied dinner we had.

Everything was fabulous! The figs with cheese and honey on toast were indescribably delicious, one of the best things I've eaten this year. There were 4 of us and we all took one bite and each of us said OMG, this is so good. Everything else was wonderful too. BRAVO!!!!
