Collina is the more casual sibling to Seven Hills, bringing handmade pasta and Italian cooking to Nob Hill. Executive Chef Anthony Florian leads the kitchen alongside Chef de Cuisine Dennis Díaz, who worked at Scala's Bistro, Cotogna, Pizza Antica, and the kitchen at Twitter HQ before rising from sous chef to chef de cuisine at Seven Hills.
The menu stays tight, built nightly around a short list of antipasti, pastas, and entrees, with ingredients pulled from the farmers market. Handmade pasta is the focus — dishes like a 14-layer lasagnette and a buttery raviolo al uovo have become reasons regulars return.
The dining room pairs dark green walls, marble countertops, and a glass chandelier with views of Hyde Street's cable cars, giving the space a slightly elevated feel despite its neighborhood-restaurant scale.
