"Lots of casual Italian spots try to pull off the whole mix-and-match pasta thing, but few so convincingly as Homemade Italian Company, the San Francisco-based mini chain. Pick your noodle and your sauce, and dinner’s all set for as little as $10. Even better, order a giant slab of their exceedingly delicious lasagna with meat sauce ($14), which is plenty of food to feed two hungry adults — though, if we’re being honest, it’s unlikely you’ll want to share. During the pandemic, Italian Homemade has been especially active on the takeout and delivery front, offering various meal box deals and a selection of Italian pantry items. Order online for pickup or delivery." - Luke Tsai
