Serafina is a little gem of a restaurant, perched on top of Nob Hill, with views overlooking the city and Bay Bridge. We were recently awarded the prestigious Gambero Rosso as one of the best Italian restaurants in the US. Serafina was owner Maurizio Bruschi’s grandmother, and the name of her eponymous restaurant in the heart of Trastevere (Rome), where Maurizio first began making pizza at the age of 14. The executive chef is Umberto Cannarsa, a successful chef from Rome, who left his own restaurant in Rome to work with Maurizio again. The menu offers everything, including vegetarian options, but specializes in innovative Italian fish dishes, including fresh calamari, stuffed with olives, escarole, anchovies, drizzled with a potato leek sauce, as well as homemade pastas and dolci. The space is warm and elegant, where neighbors and friends can come together.

    Seven Hills is our first SF choice whenever our son is in town (and often also when he's not). He used to live close by and went weekly, and now that he has moved to NYC, he wants to stop by every chance he can. The food is outstanding and the service is exceptional. We especially enjoyed the sugo papardelle and the agnolotti quattro formaggi, as well as the crudo appetizer special and the carpaccio, with the bucatini (with pancetta, asparagus) coming in a close second and the orecchiette with fava bean and garlic pesto a close third. Incredible meal, as always. We shared a chocolate budino for dessert. Parking is a challenge, so we park several blocks away and walk up. Worth every ounce of effort. Wonderful restaurant in every way.

    Tasty food at prices appropriate for the quality in San Francisco. Excellent service. Small restaurant. A bit cramped for space but not a deal breaker. The lasagna was good. The burrata caprese salad was very good.
