Seven Hills SF

Is it as outstanding as the concierge says?

    Clearly the concierge knows food. The hands down best pasta I've ever had was at Vetri in Philadelphia. If you sat me down at a table in Philly and put that Ravioli Uovo from Seven Hills in front of me, I would have thought Marc Vetri himself had made it. That dish right there is worth the price of admission. The caliber of food that comes out of that kitchen represents a tremendous value.

    As for reservations? You wouldn't catch me climbing that hill without them. Word is getting out and the place is packed by 7pm. Good luck finding a parking spot up there if you plan on driving.

      Hill, schmill, doesn't a cable car go by there? ;-)

        It does. I personally have no problem walking anywhere in SF, but I know many people do (especially if they're dressed up). You are right about cable car, though. It's right there.

        Being a Vetri buff I hear you. I will now go to Seven Hills with confidence.
        Thanks

          A reply to all Chowhounders who recommended this restaurant.
          You were all so right -- and then some.
          This is a little hidden gem with a creative chef in the kitchen.
          Rarely have we found such finesse in Italian cuisine. (and their bread is to die for!)
          Of all the places we dined last week, (including the disappointing Gary Danko's), this one takes the cake, hands down.

          Outstanding. Both the Mushroom Ravioli and the Wild Butterfish were excellent. The Burrata Cheese appetizer too was memorable. The owner Alex is welcoming and takes his restaurant very seriously. I would definitely make a reservation versus dropping in and be sure to ask about parking.

            In my opinion, Seven Hills is serving some of the best pasta in San Francisco. Despite being somewhat under the radar, I think they should be right in the conversation with Quince, Delfina, Perbacco, SPQR, etc.

            One regular thought it was excellent. Please report back.
