Lockhart SteeleFebruary 3, 2011What to order: pastas (especially the single giant ravioli) and pork. What to skip: pizza. What to appreciate: David Lynch's amazing wine list, with every bottle costing $40. I love this restaurant.
Arden GinsbergAugust 25, 2013The food is fabulous. Clean simple fresh flavors. Squash affogato, yum. Gnocchi delicious. Next time I'm in town this is the place to go.
Matthieu BettonMay 27, 2015Atmosphere, antipasti, pasta (primi) are amazing! Tiramisu is just OK, wine far too expensive (cocktails instead). Excellent service too!
Maria OrlovskaiaSeptember 20, 2017Very tasty! Everything! Appetizers, pizza, trout and desserts! One of the best Italian restaurants in SF 😍
Kattia HernandezJanuary 5, 2016The zucca tortelli are divine. And get some house bread with butter to start.
Jeff DemartiniApril 19, 2016The bolognese pasta! Tastefully done and perfectly cooked. As well and the fried frog legs.
Noreen FlorezaFebruary 23, 2011Must try the Farm egg raviolo with brown butter, ricotta cheese on crostini with honey from the beehives on their rooftop, the smoked salmon pizza, the flank steak and the donuts. Excellent!
Victoria U.August 14, 2018Oh my god the raviolo is literally the best thing. Great service and delicious food.
Nicole RocchioOctober 8, 2019Spaghetti alle Vongole was spicy and really tasty! The carbonara wasn’t as traditional - a bit lighter which was nice. The price was much too expensive for a pasta dish that was just good.
VansiMarch 22, 2018The gnocchi and raviolo are amazing! The asparagus and egg was pretty good. But the lamb carne dish wasn’t that great.
Rebecca MaldonadoMay 3, 2017Such a delightful lunch with focaccia, raviolo au ouvo and tagliatelle! Very nice.
- Robyn GrossbergAugust 19, 2016The taglierini with dungeness crab & squash blossoms was out of this world! Great ambience and service, too.
Nipun SachdevOctober 27, 2015One more review for the ravioli filled with ricotta and poached egg - get it, you won't regret it.
Amy BueApril 23, 2011You really can't go wrong with this menu but if you do, the arborio rice pudding with pistachio and dried cherry will save the day at the end. Amazing. Come here.
Neel HajareJanuary 23Liked the agnolotti better than the tagliatelle. Tremante cocktail was pretty good. Wine list was ridiculously overpriced for what was on offer
- Fiona StripeApril 17, 2016The ravioli is amazing. We ordered it for dessert as well as having it as our main course!
Steven HMarch 28, 2016The filled pasta I had was unusual and incredibly tasty. But there was so little of it, it was gone in a breath. Incredible flavour. Poor value. But: I didn't feel stuffed or over-full either.
lululemonApril 29, 2014Go for the artichokes with rhubarb and be sure to try one their wood-oven-fired pizzas. Trust us!
One of the best restaurants ever. There's a reason why it's so hard to get a table here. Get one of the pastas, a bottle of wine and enjoy :)- Adelia Curtis duarteApril 9, 2019Amazing, fresh pasta. Lovely service. Solid veg options. Great truffle tagliolini!
- Brad GillespieJune 19, 2012One of my faves! Ordering tips: 1) The simpler the better, they are wonderful at simple. 2) Best dishes are veg, seafood, meat -- in that order.
Jody BrandesMay 31, 2012Try the Raviollo Di Coda - The runny egg and brown butter was delish. Ask for bread to soak up the sauce!
Richard JhangApril 7, 2019The magic of Quince available at such attractive price points. Every dish is awesome.
Always get some fresh pasta. Always. Start with the gnocchi
Mark DregerSeptember 10, 2017Really appreciate the fresh fruit/vegetables that come from a farm on the central coast — but the service was slow and disorganized. We had a reservation and had to wait nearly 25 minutes to sit down.- ElisaDecember 25, 2014The complimentary bread is delicious. Also their pastas are better than their pizzas.
Harkirat SinghJune 18, 2017Menu is hard to understand. Just ask the waiter to explain all the pastas!
Andy GrahamMarch 14, 2023The food is great, but they have over extended themselves by adding many tables outside. Aside from blocking the sidewalk, the wait staff is under trained and snobbish to the point of annoyance. Poor
- Andy GrahamJanuary 12, 2023What a heartbreak. Very poor. Bad table next to host stand we begged for them to change but they said “tough luck”. We made resi way in advance. Food came cold, just like their attitude. 7Hills!!!!
Angie LauOctober 18, 2012We went for Albert's celebratory dinner. Very good, family style meal with trendy casual vibe
Jesus HillsAugust 6, 2012All wines on the main menu are $40. They do have a special reserve wine list as well though.
Tasting TableFebruary 7, 2012Fall in love with the decadent two-chocolate tart with praline ice cream--and even serve it at your next dinner party: http://bit.ly/xmSjAV
