Flour + Water Pasta Shop
Included In
You know about Flour + Water, the Cal-Ital pasta legend in the Mission. In recent years, they’ve birthed an arsenal of spin-offs, including Penny Roma down the street and Flour + Water Pizzeria in North Beach. The least splashy—though still great—of the bunch is Flour + Water Pasta Shop. Even though all of the pasta for the restaurants is made in this shop by hand, the actual food menu here revolves around sandwiches and salads, which you can take to go or eat in the Penny Roma courtyard next door. It’s an ideal place to stop by for a nicely crispy calabrian fried chicken sandwich before a day lounging around Dolores, or when you want to try your hand at making taleggio scarpinocc (you can buy the fresh pastas to cook at home, plus bottles of wine).
