SF | Collina — A Cozy New Sister to Seven Hills! 🍝🌿

With chilly weather setting in and a trip coming up, I craved one more Italian meal before leaving the U.S. Last night, I booked a last-minute dinner at Collina — a spot with few reviews but high ratings. When we arrived, a small sign outside read: “the little hill of Seven Hills.” Ah — the sister restaurant of beloved Seven Hills! Instantly felt at ease. We ordered lightly for two: 🥗 Star Route Chicory Salad – Layers of bitter chicory, sweet pear, tangy pomegranate, dressed simply with oil and salt. Refreshing and far from boring. 🥟 Raviolo – Like a delicate, savory-sweet “egg yolk mooncake”! Thin pasta filled with pumpkin, cheese, and a soft egg center. 🍝 Spaghettini – Homestyle but delicious. Tomatoes, basil, garlic, and a touch of chili for a gentle kick. Everything was so good — we cleared our plates. Great value for SF, with consistent, satisfying flavors. When a server asked how it compared to Seven Hills, I smiled — Collina holds its own. Seven Hills has truly become “Eight Hills” now. Maybe tables will be easier to get from here on 😉. 📍 Collina – Sister of Seven Hills 🌧️ Cozy, intimate, perfect for chilly evenings #CollinaSF #SevenHillsSister #ItalianInSF #SFDinner #ComfortFood #RavioloLove #BayAreaItalian #HiddenGem #WeeknightDinner #GoodValueMeal 🧀🍷
