1. flour + water
$$ | |This handsome and boisterous hot spot with a tiny bar and a sleek yet rustic dining room is synonymous with pasta. The grand experience here is the seven-course pasta-tasting menu (extra charge for wine pairings) with seasonally changing dishes (the one standby is a meatless Taleggio scarpinocc with aged balsamic drizzled over the bow tie–shaped pasta). It also serve top-notch, blistery thin-crust Neapolitan pizzas.

2. AltoVino
$$$ | Nob Hill |Hiking up Nob Hill can feel like trekking up a mountain, so the "alto" is indeed an apropos part of the name of this Italian neighborhood favorite run by husband-and-wife team Nick Kelly and Calli Martinez (he's the chef; she's the wine director). Kelly's menu effortlessly dances between haute and rustic Italian cooking, often with distinct California elements, and he's a master of pastas and in-house butchery. Martinez's wine list offers one of the city's best collections of Italian wines. The two-room setup is perfect for a casual bite at the entrance bar or a full four-course extravaganza in the elegant dining room. Both rooms (and the side sidewalk seating) have front-row seats on the cable cars rolling by outside.

- Superior collection of Italian wines

3. Itria
$$ | |A former chef from the Mission District's acclaimed Al's Place (which sadly closed in 2022) is the culinary talent at this fantastic, dimly lit oasis near the hectic 24th St.-Mission BART station. The menu's focus is on two trendy Italian cuisine items—pasta and fish crudo—that might be hip clichés now, but this kitchen does them as well as anyone in town and always with a unique spin.
3266 24th St., San Francisco, California, 94110, USA874–9821Known For
- Spaghetti with shellfish ragu
- Incredible rosemary focaccia with garlic-anchovy oil
- A unique tiramisu interpretation

4. Rosemary & Pine
$$$$ | SoMa |The Design District is filled with chic, breezy showrooms and galleries that evoke the California "good life" vibe, like this excellent restaurant from chef Dustin Falcon and the Omakase Group. The menu is a seamless blend of Italian and Californian influences, where vadouvan spaghetti with duck sugo might precede king salmon and a citrus sabayon. It's worth noting that this is the very rare sit-down restaurant that is open for lunch on every weekday in the city, and the patio is a perfect spot for a sunny-day meal.
1725 Alameda St., San Francisco, California, 94103, USA415-757–0594Known For
- Excellent pastas
- Terrific cocktails
- Crispy burrata fra diavolo
-
5. Seven Hills
$$$ | Russian Hill |This longtime Nob Hill favorite recently moved into a new, far more spacious home in Russian Hill. The setting might be livelier and grander, but the consistently excellent contemporary-upscale Italian cuisine and superb wine list remain as great as ever. It has many local regulars for good reason but is also one of the city's most popular restaurants with visiting celebrities and athletes.
1896 Hyde St., San Francisco, California, 94109, USA415-775–1550Known For
- Excellent pastas
- Well-curated wine list
- Burrata and house-made charcuterie
