The Collina Story

Collina, little sister to nearby Italian restaurant Seven Hills, is a cozy neighborhood gem in San Francisco’s Nob Hill, serving handmade pasta and vibrant seasonal dishes in a welcoming environment. Our restaurant’s warm interior provides the perfect setting to enjoy a comforting meal while watching the city’s iconic cable cars trundle by.

Our menu, developed with approachability in mind, is perfect for both weeknight dinners and special occasions. Executive Chef Anthony Florian and Chef de Cuisine Dennis Díaz make regular trips to the farmers market so that they can spotlight the best of the season. Their culinary program, paired with an inviting wine list spotlighting lesser-known varietals from Italy, has made our restaurant a favorite among locals.

Chef Dennis Diaz

Dennis’s interest in cooking sparked at a young age, ultimately drawing him to pursue culinary education in San Francisco, before gaining experience at Scala’s Bistro, Cotogna, Pizza Antica, and the kitchen at Twitter HQ. His dedication to creating memorable dining experiences led him to Seven Hills, where he quickly advanced from sous chef to chef de cuisine. Now, he's excited to bring his vision to life at Collina, which serves a menu of handmade pastas and other Italian favorites to diners in San Francisco’s Nob Hill.
