Flour & Water and Pasta Made In-House

[ryanb516]

I recently ate at Flour & Water. Though the pie was very impressive the pasta was simply out of this world. I will be back very soon for a pasta tasting menu. I am new to the area and wanted to know if there is anywhere else where the pasta is amazingly fresh and delicious.....

Also, in addition to those already mentioned Quince's new sister, Cotogna, is doing pasta in house and SPQR does all of its pasta in house including extruded pastas. Both are excellent.

I love SPQR's uni tagliatelle. Zero Zero's bucatini is very good as well. I remember liking Flour & Water's pappardelle ragu better than their pizzas as well.

I like the pasta at Flour + Water better than their pizzas too.

The most memorable house-made pastas I've had were at Oliveto, Incanto, La Ciccia, and Perbacco.

Perbacco's agnolotti dal plin combine two of the chef's strongest items, fresh pasta and braised meat.

Robert's list is a great place to start. Of those, I would emphasize Oliveto and especially Perbacco, and add Quince, which used to do a pasta tasting menu for the whole table for those who requested it in advance. Acquerello is good too.

We have something of an embarassment of good fresh pasta in the bay area right now. It's way more common here than in most of Italy.

I'm a big fan of the pasta dishes at Perbacco, especially the tajarin and agnolotti dal plin. Both are mentioned in this Michael Bauer post about pasta from four years ago that may provide some additional ideas.

I like Farina in SF. Fresh pasta and the best housemade pesto...yum!
