The 25 Best Restaurants In SF - San Francisco - The Infatuation
"If a Pasta Hall of Fame existed, Flour + Water would be its forever MVP. That’s because the city’s most iconic Cal-Ital restaurant (est. 2009) makes pastas out of ingredient combinations you’ve probably never seen before (much less thought to put on a pasta dish), and pulls them off with flair. Think veal tortellini with horseradish, corn-and-cheese-stuffed pasta topped with mint, and cocoa and rutabaga casoncelli. Over a decade after opening, Flour + Water is still going strong—as are its multiple casual offshoots and sister restaurants (Penny Roma, Flour + Water Pizzeria). Paying a visit to this institution at least once should be high on your SF bucket list. Reservations are released 28 days in advance at midnight on Resy. They also save space for walk-ins (grab a glass of wine and a snack down the street at Flour + Water Pasta Shop if you have to wait). You can also see if their more casual but just as fantastic sister spot, Penny Roma (also in the Mission), has any open tables." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
