"Choose a pasta and a sauce and hit the button for delivery to achieve ultimate Italian comfort in the comfort of your own home. Now with locations in North Beach, Cow Hollow, Hayes Valley, and Berkeley, this local chain also has superb lasagna, piadinis, salads, and desserts — all of which travel particularly well." - Dianne de Guzman
"For a casual pasta situation, hit up The Italian Homemade Company. The original North Beach location is our favorite. It’s got a parklet with bar stools, lively music playing in the background, and a “pasta lab” behind the register where you can watch the employees make fresh pasta. To order, just walk up to the register and mix and match your choice of sauce with one of their housemade pastas. Our go-tos are the pappardelle with bolognese or the tortellini with butter and sage." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
"The pasta at this counter-service spot is homemade (go figure). It's also just around $15 for a heap of noodles, which is one of the best bang-for-your-buck meals in town. You customize your order here, so just pick your pasta and sauce and let the food come to you. We love all the Italian Homemade locations, but this North Beach one—with a “pasta lab” in the back and Italian disco blasting at all times—is our favorite." - julia chen 1, lani conway
"Finding a great pasta dish for under $15 can feel daunting. But at this counter-service spot in North Beach, it’s entirely possible. This spot is a choose-your-own-adventure situation. You pick from pastas like tagliatelle or gnocchi (most are $10-$12) and add on a sauce for a couple more bucks. The bolognese is extra hearty and filling, and it’s hard to go wrong with their pesto or butter and sage. There are locations in Cow Hollow and Hayes Valley, but we like this original North Beach spot best—it’s got a “pasta lab” in the back where you can see everyone hand-making noodles." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
"At Italian Homemade Company in North Beach, just walk up to the casual, counter-serve spot and order your choice of freshly-made pasta and sauce, like tagliatelle with bolognese or prosciutto-stuffed tortellini with butter and sage. We like to enjoy everything on one of their high-top tables inside (with a great view of the self-proclaimed "Pasta Lab"), or grab a seat on their parklet and people-watch." - julia chen 1, lani conway
