Flour + Water offers a vibe that's rustic yet vibrant, serving tantalizing handmade pasta and wood-fired pizza in a welcoming space that keeps diners coming back for more.
"You won’t find penne alla vodka or fettuccine alfredo on the pasta menu at Flour + Water. Instead, corn and chocolate mint get stuffed into cappelletti, preserved blood orange brightens up a clam and green garlic corzetti, and veal tortellini wakes you up with fresh shaved horseradish. In other words, the flavor combinations make about as much sense as an apology written in your Notes app. But somehow, they really, really work. Much like every other “Cal-Ital” spot in town, Flour + Water changes up its menu all the time. But that’s just another reason coming back to this Mission restaurant is always exciting. 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, patrick wong, lani conway
"San Francisco classic Flour + Water is back in action with a lightly refreshed menu bringing on more antipasti, following a 2022 renovation. The ever-favorite pasta tasting menu is still around, perfect for exploring the house-made pasta mastery of the legendary restaurant. It’s also the only way to get a taste of the restaurant's impeccable tortellini en brodo, should you need some motivation to commit." - Eater Staff, Flora Tsapovsky
"Lers Ros Thai chef and owner Tom Narupon Silargorn teamed up with Varidda Voraakom and Steve K. Tavanit to bring Cauliflower’s breakfast staples — delicate omelets and a horde of Benedicts — to the east side of 16th Street. (For what it’s worth, Pork Store Cafe keeps the west side of the street handled.)" - Lauren Saria, Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri
"Most know the proper restaurant spaces of Flour + Water in the Mission, but the building has two unique private dining rooms that go beyond the typical city offerings. If you’re looking for something relaxing and home-y, well, the test kitchen is housed inside a former private apartment above the restaurant that seats up to 10 guests. The other space private dining option is Flour + Water’s dough room, a kitchen space that manages to be charming and low-key if that’s what you’re looking for. Whichever room you go for, the team will outfit your party with a family-style chef’s choice tasting menu and optional wine pairings. For more info, head to the private events page." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
"Flour + Water returns to San Francisco Restaurant Week with high-end dinner deals, celebrated for its Italian cuisine." - Dianne de Guzman
