"Pasta Supply Co (by the chef behind the now-closed Prairie) is a refreshing breath of air—and a stark contrast from the city’s many buttoned-up, fancy Italian spots. You just order at the door, sit in the minimalist space, and let simple yet fabulous pastas come to you. The sauces, like velvety basil pesto and rich beef cheek sugo, pair gorgeously with handmade maltagliata and mafaldine. This Inner Richmond spot doubles as a shop, so you can peruse the well-lit glass case and walk out with pounds of fresh gnocchetti, radiatore, or squid ink spaghetti to cook at home later (no need to apologize to the Rao’s languishing in your pantry). Plus, the chill ambiance makes it easy to turn to for dinner plans that you cobble together last minute. " - Julia Chen 1, Ricky Rodriguez
