Flour Power is a cozy West Town gem serving up expertly crafted, rotating pasta dishes for takeout, alongside crave-worthy focaccia.
"Flour Power is guaranteed to break you out of your pasta rut—something we just made up, but are 100% certain exists. This counter-service spot has a short menu of handmade pastas (available pre-made or as meal kits) and they rarely serve the same thing twice. From campanelle with 'nduja and tomato confit to creste di gallo with apple, bacon, and cream cheese—whatever you get will be delicious." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor, nick allen
"Flour Power is a tiny storefront now helmed solo by mercurial chef and owner Wilson Bauer who worked fine dining jobs, including at Schwa. He’s pivoted from the pandemic practices of meal kits to concentrate on sustainability and using premium ingredients. Diners will find creative noodles with a fine dining touch. Check the restaurant’s Instagram for the daily menu. Beware, the hours are a bit erratic, so call ahead when in doubt." - Eater Staff
"We talk about Flour Power a lot - their pastas (which rotate daily) are consistently excellent and overall it’s one of our favorite new restaurants that opened during the pandemic. The handmade pastas are available pre-made or as meal kits, so you’ll be able to prepare things like mafalde bolognese, creste di gallo with bechamel, or paccheri arrabbiata at home. And while those dishes change, one thing that’s always on the menu is the excellent family-size, take-and-bake lasagna, which also includes a salad and garlic bread. Basically, it isn’t so much a “kit” as it is a way of life." - adrian kane
"With a menu that changes every day (released on Instagram at 8am), Flour Power is guaranteed to break you out of your pasta rut - something we just made up, but are 100% certain exists. This carryout-only spot has a short menu of handmade pastas (available pre-made or as meal kits) and you’ll rarely see the same thing twice. From campanelle with nduja and tomato confit to cheddar-filled tortellini to casarecce with smoked sweet potato, whatever you get will be delicious." - adrian kane
"If you have a pasta-shaped hole in your heart, Flour Power is here to fill it. This BYOB West Town spot has a short menu of handmade pastas (that change daily) available for takeout or dine-in. One day might have chicken parmesan with buttered tagliatelle, another might have pappardelle with beef and pork bolognese. We've yet to have something here that wasn't delicious. Just plan ahead: they’re only open Thursdays through Saturdays and release that day’s menu at 8am." - Adrian Kane
