"Stopped in to Colombini's recently while visiting SF, two teens in tow. This is a tiny, very inviting space with a small but well curated menu. It's attached to the small hotel next door. The service was warm and attentive; the owner actually took our orders. We had a great grilled romaine starter, wonderful firm polenta with a sausage ragu I think it was actually the bolognese, my husband thinks it was sausage). We all had pasta dishes; the standout to me was the spaghetti carbonara, but the bolognese and my gorgonzola very mild) with mushrooms were also very good and perfectly cooked. Portions were also perfect. We had a nice Chianti DOCG at a reasonable price, and the owner suggested a very nice apertif. Dessert was Key Lime pie they were out of tiramisu), which is a bit unusual for an italian restaurant, but it was lovely, housemade. The room has a great vibe, small wooden bar, small, intimate tables, nice lighting. Would be a great place for a date dinner or anniversary."
