Been here twice - once in main dining room and once at bar. Prefer the bar seating for a party of 2! Really loved all the pasta dishes we tried and the meatballs and garlic focaccia were highlights as well! Cute spot for date night

Country Style Duck Liver Pate
Winnie V.

My coworker is always raving about seven hills, so I made a reservation there for a late Valentine's Day dinner, and it did not disappoint! I love that they have a rotating menu with special off menu items. We ended up getting the Rockefeller oysters, burrata salad, duck liver pate, shortrib agnolotti, and shredded duck tagliatelle. First off - the Rockefeller oysters. I have come such a long way with oysters. I used to hate oysters, but have recently started enjoying raw ones. This was my first time having baked oysters. Personally, I loved the seasoning on this one - the oysters were topped with I think garlic, breadcrumbs, and a bunch of herbs or other seasonings. I just thought there was too much oyster for me since these were bigger oysters. On the other hand, the bf liked the size of the oysters, but thought there was too much happening with the toppings. Next up - the burrata salad. This was stellar! Soooo good, def my fave dish of the night. The burrata was paired with some mixed greens, citrus, pomegranate pieces, and pistachios. Everything just tasted soooo fresh, and the pistachios added such an unexpected nuttiness that balanced perfectly with the burrata. 10/10! Then - the duck liver pate. I grew up on viet sandwiches, so I love pate. I haven't had as much duck liver pate, but this was pretty good, especially with the fruit marmalade on top. This was actually one of my most anticipated dishes here. My only gripe was that the bread was a bit hard and it felt like a bit too much pate and bread for an appetizer. I think I would have preferred just two pieces instead of four, and with each piece cut in half so that they're bite size pieces. Next - the two pasta dishes. Both were good! I had hoped they would have a squid ink pasta on the menu, but not that day, maybe next time! This was my first time having angolotti - it was like a cross between a tortellini and a ravioli. The shortrib inside was nice and tender, and I liked the tiny potato pieces that came with the sauce which was light and almost brothy. The tagliatelle was also pretty good. I'm just more of a pappardelle gal, so I would have liked a thicker noodle. The duck was interesting! If I hadn't known it came with duck, I would have thought it was shredded beef. Finally - tiramisu! I can never say no when tiramisu is offered as a dessert. This was good, no notes. Overall, I enjoyed our meal and would go back just for the burrata and to try other seasonal dishes. The service was also great, and I totally did not expect them to change our plates after every dish!

Beetroot spaghettini
Cat R.

My partner and I came to Seven Hills for the first time for their Valentine's dinner prefix menu. I haven't had too many prefix dinners (vegetarian, my options are usually limited) so my expectations were muted, but as soon as we walked in we were greeted warmly and seated early in a comfortable, dimly lit romantic setting. Our server was very chatty and friendly and explained menu items to us and suggested wine pairings + offered us generous pours before we made our drink decisions. My partner initially ordered an old fashioned, which didn't blow his mind, so we stuck to wine after that. My review is for the vegetarian menu - my boyfriend ordered the oysters, wagyu carpaccacio, rotolo al forno, braised short rib (his highlight of the menu) and and fully enjoyed his meal. First course - Citrus salad I wasn't a huge fan of this. It was refreshing and flavorful but I would have preferred something a little more substantial to start my meal. At a certain point I felt like a was just eating sliced oranges. Second course - Beetroot spaghettini This was the highlight for me! The portion was generous and it was absolutely delicious - super creamy and satisfying. We could have ended the meal here and I would have been content. Third course - Acquerello risotto This dish was delicious on its own, but combined with the spaghettini it felt unbalanced. I was hoping it would be heavier on the mushrooms than risotto - but it was very salty and rich and I think it could've been replaced with a more vegetable forward dish. Finally for dessert we ordered the tiramisu and panna cota. I could pass on the panna cota but the tiramisu was one of the best I've had. So light and flavorful. After our huge dinner it was the perfect amount of delicate sweetness to finish things off. We had a lovely time, walked away so full and satisfied and will definitely come back for more delicious dishes and lovely memories!

Pasta

The ambiance and food was good. The service was excellent..the waitress was very attentive and friendly.

Parking is extremely difficult around the area! Recommend looking on Polk for parking. Atmosphere is loud on the inside as tables are close together. Pasta is delicious but on the saltier side. Expect to spend 40+ per person if you order appetizers. Service is quick. The Duck Liver Pate appetizer is on the sweeter side and reminds me a bit of strawberry jam. Doesnt have a distinct Pate taste if thats what you're expecting. Burrata was on the harder side, tasted more like mozzarella. I did enjoy the fruits in the burrata. Lobster squid ink pasta was the special of the day. It's delicious but for 40 dollars, I expected a larger portion. Macheroncelli was delicious with the ricotta cheese. I like the al dante pasta. Highly recommend.

Maccheroncelli
Kelly L.

Cute Italian spot in Nob Hill that feels like a nice in between of old school and modern, and with a farm to table focus (which I love and i could rlly taste how fresh everything was) - Tomato braised polpette: Really good meatballs, super tender and has cheese inside. The tomato sauce was fresh and delicious. The sourdough was not sour but still good - Squid ink fettuccine w/ dungeness crab: I may be biased bc I love crab and this was delicious. Sauce was creamy, garlicky, umami, and a little spicy. Probably made with some kind of shellfish broth? Noodles were peeeerfectly al dente - Maccheroncelli: The tomato sauce mixed with the ricotta was soooo good, and the pasta had a really nice chew. Creamy but not too heavy at all. - Rhubarb pan cotta: fine but I've had better, both the jam and panna cotta itself were a little too sweet for me. Portions were on the bigger side. I left very satisfied and took home a bit of leftovers.

Tagliatelle
John H.

n writing this review, my only disappointment is that I can't give them six stars! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed as if we were old family friends from our hostess. She gently showed us into a waiting area and showed us the previews of the menus. Less than three minutes later on a very busy Saturday night,we were seated at a very comfortable table. Once we are seated, our wait person Dereck brought us still and sparkling water. we ordered a bottle of bubbles to start our dinner adventure. After reviewing the menu with us and explaining the specials, we moved onto the first course. To in our party shared the meatballs, which they raved about... My wife had the prosciutto salad, which was a very generous portion... And I had the raw fish crudo of amberjack from Hawaii. Marvelous! Our main courses were an assortment of their housemaid pastas...one pappardelle, one tagliatelle, one maccheroncelli and The squid ink pasta with lobster special. These were prepared and presented with perfection. Dereck did a wonderful job in guiding us through our dining experience. We did score a couple of delicious desserts, one of which being a chocolate budino and the other was the bread pudding.. I had a hard time sharing the budino..It was so good. Thanks to Alexis For stopping by and greeting our table. Comfortable atmosphere, attentive service, some of the best pasta we've had this side of Italy... It's hard to beat this. Our family was thrilled and couldn't stop talking about it.Thanks again to all the staff, and we look forward to coming back to sample more items of your menu.

Foccacia
Khonesavanh D.

We had a reservation and were seated right away! The space wasn't too cramped and it was pretty quiet, easy to have a conversation. The wait staff was attentive, making sure we heard the specials and gave us plenty of time to make a decision. The truffle tortellini had a super rich ricotta cheese filling, but I thought the shaved truffle on top didn't add anything besides flare. As for the squid ink pasta, the lobster was tender and well seasoned but the pasta itself could have had more flavor. The foccacia was fine, nothing to write home about. Would recommend coming for a nice date night :)

Garlic & parmesan focaccia
Kyle S.

Excellent Italian spot in San Francisco with outstanding pasta and great ambiance for a nicer dining experience. The maccheroncelli was absolutely delicious with elbow shaped pasta cooked perfectly al dente, good chew and texture. The slightly spicy tomato sauce was great and the ricotta on top was really creamy. The squid ink pasta with lobster had excellent texture and flavor with a creamy red sauce. Small bits of lobster fit in well and wasn't too overpriced. The garlic and parmesan focaccia is such a good deal at $8 and hit the spot. Super garlicky, basically like very cheesy garlic bread on thinner toasted focaccia. The focaccia itself was really good so I want to try it plain next time. Highly recommend as an appetizer. The duck liver pate had an apple butter that made it unexpectedly sweet, way too much for me. Wouldn't get it again but not marking down the restaurant for one dish that just wasn't my taste. The ambiance was fairly nice, a little dim which I liked for a more intimate dining experience. It got quite loud in the front section where we sat but it was bearable. Service was excellent with our main waiter being super helpful and attentive. Food came out with really nice timing. Went here for our one year anniversary and would come back to try more pasta dishes. Parking is pretty tough in the area so leave time for that or use a rideshare. It's within walking distance from Lombard Street which is a cute spot for sunset photos.

Pappardelle
Amy G.

WOW. This is hands down some of the best pasta I've had in SF -- not to mention the service is incredible and the ambiance is so charming. Tucked away in Russian Hill, it looks very unassuming from the outside. But all of their pasta is made in house (even the flour is milled in house!) and they use the freshest ingredients. We started with the 24 Month Prosciutto di Parma after seeing it on the table next to us, and it was the perfect delicate balance of savory, sweet, and citrus. I could eat buckets and buckets of this salad. My friend had the Maccheroncelli, which our server said was the most popular pasta dish. The ricotta mixed into the spicy tomato sauce so well to create a creamy spicy pasta dish that reminded me of the spicy rigatoni from Carbone, but much much lighter! When I come back, I'll definitely go for this one. Generous portion and well priced for the quality at $26! I had the Pappardelle, which was our servers personal favorite. The sheets of pappardelle had herbs pressed into them and it was the perfect mushroom lover's pasta. Again, not too heavy even though it was very creamy! Seven Hills lived up to all of the hype and I truly can't wait to come again and try the next seasonal menu.

Really good food, cute small spot. Food dishes we tried were seasonal and fun, had great flavor with a small touch of uniqueness. Had a girls night dinner but it would serve as a cute date night spot. Everyone is so kind, and accommodating, took us way too long to find parking and they were so nice about it.

We had the: * Daikon Radish Fior di Latte Burrata for $24 (appetizer/antipasta) * Garlic & Parmesan Focaccia Bread for $8 (4 slices) * Squid Ink Lobster Special $40/each (main course) * Strawberry Sparkler $14 (Seascape strawberry, passionfruit, lime) poured into a wine glass over ice (it was half filled and with half of it being ice, wasn't worth the price in my opinion, would've preferred a soda instead) Tips: Reservations are HIGHLY recommended if you want good seating. You can choose indoor or patio through the OpenTable app. A credit card is required to reserve a table, though it's not listed at the time of booking that there's a $25 charge if you don't cancel within 24 hours. I found this out by calling the restaurant. The owner, Alexis, actually called me back very quickly, was extremely kind, and even offered to take my name down without requiring a card since it was our first time. He only asked that we call a couple of hours prior if we needed to cancel. I thought that was excellent customer service. At the time of arrival, the staff was VERY attentive and friendly. We had 5:15 pm dinner reservations, and the place filled up quickly around 6 pm. The food was very flavorful. I do wish the serving sizes were slightly bigger, to be honest. It definitely had the "ambiance" vibe--great flavors, decent prices--but after our appetizers, bread order, and small portions of handmade pasta, we were still a little hungry. To be fair, it was probably a normal-sized serving for one person each, but no leftovers. So if you arrive very hungry, you may end up ordering a couple of extra dishes, which is something to keep in mind with the pricing. They also don't serve soda, which I'm guessing is part of the trade-off for the "mood setting" the restaurant is going for. Overall: Alexis, the owner, was great over the phone, the service was very fast and friendly, and the staff was quick to clear finished plates from our table. The food was delicious and flavorful, but the portions were on the smaller side. We had a great time overall, and for our first visit, we'll definitely be coming back and would recommend it to someone. * Customer service/staff: 5/5 * Food rating: 4/5 * Portion sizing for price: 3/5 = Overall rating: 4/5

Tagliatelle
Heather M.

Amazing place! Casual neighborhood vibe with impeccable service. The food was outstanding! The wagyu carpaccio was to die for topped with garlic aioli dressed arugula, radish, and Parmesan yum!!!! The duck pate was very good but slightly overpowered by the orange marmalade on top. The special pasta of the night was a squid ink pasta with crab. It was perfectly executed and tasted of the sea. The star dish was the tagliatelle- crumbled sausage, herbs, and Parmesan cream sauce. Amazing! One note- Beer and wine only!

Is the dress code strictly enforced?

There is no dress code for 99% of restaurants in San Francisco.

Do you have outdoor heaters for your parklet?

There are overhead heaters installed in the parklets and they have portable heaters attached to propane tanks that they can move around to tables to keep legs warm.

The people were laughing, the drinks were flowing. It smelled really good, which we would later find out was from the food especially that Mac and cheese. We started off with different wines, some that Tom recommended based on what we told him we didn't like or did like. He apologized for our previous experience and was genuinely a nice guy. Honestly it's very admirable for a business owner to take feedback to heart and want to incorporate it. Plus he's a really cool guy when you get to know him. The staff was busy running around but still made time to come check on us. Our final verdict is we came on a bad day. This time we got the actual Waystone experience. We finally got to try the chicken bites with a creamy aioli, fries with yogurt sauce, and the star of the show was the Mac and cheese. Tik tok did live up to the hype and we will have to come back for one of their jazz nights. Be warned this place gets busy! But it's worth it.

Yes, the wine is excellent..(not selling you 'natural' actively fermenting bottles) thoughtfully curated... the cab franc , interesting without being pretentious. Yes, the bites hit (shoutout to the watermelon salad). But what really makes Waystone magic is the people. Everyone who works here is warm, funny, and present in a way that makes you feel like you belong, whether it's your first visit or your 50th. Live jazz nights here are their own kind of therapy. I once saw a harpist who made me feel like I was floating inside the music. No cover, no pressure, just ridiculously good musicians making the whole place glow. One thing I love: the rotating local art. The walls change every so often as new artists take over, and it completely shifts the energy of the space. You might not love every piece, but that's kind of the point--it's alive, it's personal, and it's supporting real artists in SF. And if you do love something, you can take it home (yep, everything's for sale). Whether you're here for the jazz, the wine, the art, or the people.. waystone shows up with soul. I'd give it six stars if I could.
