The 11 Best Pasta Restaurants In SF - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"The ricotta-filled raviolo from Cotogna has a cult following, like Croc charms. It’s face-sized, highly photogenic, and the yolk inside oozes out like lava when you cut it open. Unsurprisingly, it’s also one of the best pastas on the menu, and only one reason to get to this Italian spot in Jackson Square. One more? Incredible, seasonally changing pastas, like corn triangoli and sunchoke tortello, that’ll miraculously ease your anxieties about the passage of time. Reservations are released 30 days in advance on SevenRooms. Or you can walk up and try to go for a seat at the bar. If you want to avoid the dinner rush, come during lunch when it’s less busy—they serve mostly the same menu." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
