Flour + Water
The Verdict
"Seven-course pasta tasting menu around $90."
What you need to know
Flour + Water opened in May 2009 at 20th and Harrison in the Mission and has been a hard reservation in San Francisco since. The pasta program is the focus, made fresh daily and changing with the season. Co-chefs Thomas McNaughton and Ryan Pollnow run the kitchen.
The Pasta
Made fresh each day; the menu shifts with the season. Pappardelle with pork sugo, tajarin with truffles when they’re in, agnolotti with seasonal fillings, spaghetti with sea urchin. The kitchen also offers a 7-course pasta tasting menu, which is the longer-form version of the menu.
Beyond Pasta
Wood-fired pizzas with thin, blistered crust. Antipasti using California produce. House-made salumi. The wine list leans Italian and California.
The Space
Exposed brick, an open kitchen, around 50 seats.
