Colombini Italian Cafe Bistro

A small and intimate restaurant with amazing pasta!Stopped in for a quick dinner as the restaurant was relatively close to our hotel. We came about 1.5 hours before closing but half my party arrived late as they were prepping things for an early morning wedding the next day. The owner was gracious enough to get the prep work started on our dishes so the food could be brought out ASAP. My favorites were the lasagna and bolognese clasico. The meat in both the lasagna and bolognese were so hearty and had a wonderful, deep tomato flavor. Also, the house fresh pasta was an amazing add on for the bolognese!- Lasagna $26- Bolognese Clasico $24 + house fresh pasta $2.50 - Carbonara $24Connected to the Nob Hill Hotel

Like many yelpers said, it's a tiny Italian restaurant attached to the Nob Hill hotel. I arrived for a 6:40 PM reservation on a Friday and to my surprise, we were the only party for the entire night. I felt like we had private dining room experience, the bread and the olive oil and balsamic vinegar was probably the best thing on the menu we had the Caesar salad, cioppino, and spinach fettuccine with Gorgonzola sauce, which was recommended by the owner. If you want to have a simple Italian dinner that reminded me of a restaurant in Italy with a very kind owner his could be a good spot for that but I think there are many other Italian restaurants in San Francisco that you could choose from that would be better.

Stumbled in on a whim to try somewhere in the neighborhood we haven't been before. Colombini did not disappoint!We came in at 815 which was very close to closing but they accommodated us. We had the polenta, the caeser, and a bolognese and carbonara with fresh pasta. The polenta was delicious and we were scraping the plate for the sauce. The fresh pasta was perfect, my wife loved her bolognese and I loved the carbonara. A true carbonara not overloaded with cream and bacon, but traditional egg and guanciale. It's very cute inside with 4-5 tables, definitely a great date spot.

Im surprised and bummed to see this place with low(ish) ratings on Yelp because I thought Colombini was AMAZING. We just moved into the neighborhood and decided to stop by for dinner - everything was so delicious and extremely reasonably priced for SF. We got the rigatoni bolognese (10/10) and the sausage and meatball pizza (12/10) The service was great, excellent food, and lovely intimate ambiance. Seriously already looking forward to coming back! - @discoveroverthere

Amazing little cute date night spot. This establishment is a 20 seater with legit pasta.Please don't listen to the two idiots below who left them a bad review. The owner here is nice and accommodating and genuinely wants you to have a good experience. We had calamari steak that was spicy and flavorful and i had the carbonara and my gf had the bolognese.Please come and check it out for yourself!

Amazing food, absolutely delicious, lovely atmosphere. Perfect place for a nice date, lovely music was playing and not loud at all.

Came here within posted business hours and they were closed, will delete review if they update their posted hours

Fantastic bistro. Wonderful food! Made with love from a wonderful chef! Authentic Italian

Hidden unassuming GEM restaurant in my cute hotel. gorgonzola penne & house bread. chef's keese so filling

What a sweet little romantic Italian bistro run by an amazing man named Ray. His love for the food of his heritage is apparent in the love he puts into every dish. I highly recommend the polenta cakes with pancetta, mushrooms and Marsala and his Uber rich and flavorful lasagne. Why this sweet little spot isn't busier is a mystery to me. We ar so happy it's in our neighborhood! Check it out! You won't be disappointed!
