"Penny Roma is the sister restaurant of Flour + Water, but it’s a bit more casual and serves more traditional Italian dishes like lasagna bolognese, agnolotti dal plin, and chicken al mattone. They still have Flour + Water’s DNA, though—so it should come as no surprise that the housemade pastas are always boiled to a textbook al dente, and well-coated in sauces you’ll want to sop up entirely with a hunk of focaccia. This plant-filled Mission spot also has great crudos and small plates that you should get for the table and enjoy with a glass of wine in hand." - julia chen 1, lani conway
