Tucked away in a cozy space, this neighborhood Italian spot serves up stellar handmade pasta and a welcoming vibe that's perfect for a lively night out.
"This restaurant from the Seven Hills team is tucked away in Nob Hill, offering an intimate Italian experience. The most advertised hit is the multilayered lasagnette, which is miraculously crisp and soft at the same time, but plenty of other worthy dishes are on the menu. The chicken al mattone is unforgettable, and no dinner is complete without the giant, gentle raviolo." - Eater Staff, Flora Tsapovsky
"A popular restaurant reservation platform that allows users to book tables at various restaurants across New York City and beyond. It is part of the digital platforms that have transformed dining out into a competitive endeavor." - Emma Orlow
"You finally got that big promotion at work, but your friends haven't reached out to congratulate you yet. Head to Collina in Nob Hill solo and celebrate with the one thing that's never let you down—pasta. Push aside the velvet curtain and you’ll find a mood-lit dining room with a small bar and glistening bottles of reds and whites that pair perfectly with the crispy 14-layer lasagnette and buttery, creamy raviolo al uovo. The bar seating is right in the middle of the action, so go ahead and chop it up with the team as you brag about the unlimited PTO policy at your new gig." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
"If a glass of gamay and inventive takes on classic pastas sound like your idea of a great night, then Collina is the spot for you. This cozy Nob Hill Italian spot is the more casual venture from the team over at and prepares a simple but well-executed pasta-forward menu that's perfect for a date night or a solo adventure. The interior is slightly elegant, with dark green walls, marble countertops, and a glass chandelier. Deciding what to order will be super simple—there are only a few pasta dishes, antipasti, and entrees on the menu every night. We like the pastas like the 14-layer lasagnette for its crispiness and the buttery raviolo al uovo that holds its own against the platonic ideal at for a fraction of the price. But skip out on the entrees, like the almost flavorless scallops, for the best bet at simple date night success." - Ricky Rodriguez
"It’s been four years since Seven Hills moved into a larger space in Russian Hill but finally, they’ve gone back to the space on Hyde to open Collina, a sister Italian spot to the well-loved original. Here, executive chef Anthony Florian offers a more affordable menu of fresh pasta, entrees, and Italian wines. The 48-layer lasagnette promises to be a showstopper with bolognese, bechamel, and spinach stacked up high. There’s also brick chicken, tripa alla Romana, and pan-seared scallops." - Lauren Saria
