- Briana RognlinOctober 18, 2017Pasta Tasting Menu--so tasty! Must love lengthy dinners and abundant carbs. You'll get tasty appetizers, tho, and their pasta's so varied, you won't be mad about plate after plate of noodle-y goodnessUpvoted 3 weeks ago
- BommyFebruary 16, 2018Amazing quality. If it's your first time, try the tasting menu-there's even a vegetarian option. No reservations? Just wait outside before they open and opt to sit at the bar.Upvoted Mar 29
- Shali NguyenApril 10, 2017We did a family style meal in their test kitchen (private dining room) and it was a fabulous experience. It fits about 8-12 people. Cozy spot, great service and an amazing wine pairing to top it off.
- Katherine M.July 16, 2014Best freshly made pasta. Excellent pasta tasting and wine pairing menus. Good for a special occasion but pretty affordable. Make a reservation or be prepared to put your name down and come back later.
- Meghana DharJune 21, 2013Veggie reccos: pasta- goat-cheese triangoli; pizza- pomodoro; dessert- chocolate budino (sinful, loved sea salt). Pro tip: get here early on a week day and you don't need reservations (20 min wait)
- J JohnMay 12, 2015The pizza here is top-3 in San Francisco, maybe even number one (the crust is just perfect). Pasta made from scratch, great salumi appetizers, and a short rib fetucine to die for. Amazing service, A++
- Doug de WetJuly 23, 2016Extremely enjoyable! Frequent menu changes make specific recommendations tricky, but we loved our seasonal fried green tomato starter and summer squash pasta. Pizza is also fabulous.
- Go here late, say nine or so, and with no more than two people. Sit at the bar & make friends with everyone. Get the chickpeas and red wine.
- Bridget GaelJune 18, 2022We loved the pasta tasting and wine pairing! Wines were super interesting (bubbly dark red, light nebbiolos) & apps was tasty (we loved the cacio e pepe arancini).
- olivier PEYREOctober 13, 2017You think you've tried the best pasta and pizza already? Think again. My favorite time to go? Sunday night after 9PM, to avoid the long (impossible) wait. Tasting menu and playlist change every day.
- Staff PicksMay 5, 2016This Italian restaurant is one of the most romantic dinner spots in SF. Situated in the Potrero Hill district, flour + water's candlelit vibe has diners swooning at their dates and plates alike. Read more
- Giovanni D'PalmaApril 21, 2018Amazing! This place does Italian right. The attention to detail shines through each dish and in every bite. You can't go wrong with anything, try some pasta and a pizza
- Chris H.December 2, 2017Tried the autumn pasta tasting menu and it did not disappoint! Can't wait to come back to this spot
- Brett MurioMarch 2, 2015No reservations? Get there early, stand in line and sit at the community table. 1st time here? Pass up the pizza and go directly for the pasta. Better yet, order the set menu. This place is awesome!
- Journey City GuidesAugust 24, 2013Excellent food by chef Thomas McNauighton and effective and friendly service at this italian foodie place in Mission. Good Italian wine selection and excellent pork-based dishes.
- Katherine BarnaSeptember 3, 2014Wonderful pasta and pizza and a great selection of Italian wine. Don't miss out on the fennel pollen battered olives filled with ricotta w/ aioli on the side. Whoa.
- Iris NgDecember 27, 2014Reservations! Or come before it opens and wait in line because they have limited amount of communal table seating for first come first service basis. Pizzas and pastas of course!!
- Their pizza and pasta is incredible, but too casual to bother reserving in advance. Come early (5:30) or late (9:30) without expectation of getting in, when you do the surprise will be all the better.
- Lindsey KimJune 14, 2016Beautiful restaurant. Ask for a scoop of the sweet corn gelato off the pasta tasting menu for your dessert!
- David BirdsongMay 17, 2012fresh pasta, but rotates too frequently for a specific recco, super good. lost by the italian wine list? ask and specify a price range, they're super helpful and graciousUpvoted 2 weeks ago
- Paulette BleamMarch 19, 2013Always ask (very nicely) for the half order of pasta. No matter how busy they are, the chef tends to allow it. That way, you can get a wider variety of amazing pasta.
- Worth the wait! The pork and fig raviolini was really good. Get the corn salad with ham cracklings, such a great sweet flavor with the salty, and the chanterelles. Save room for the chocolate fleur
- Kim PhamFebruary 22, 2019I haven’t had a bad meal here yet. If the squash arancini are on the menu, order them!
- An ShengOctober 23, 2018Squid ink pasta, wagyu toast, salumi board, panna cotta, chocolate budino, fig cake 💯
- Megan AllisonJuly 23, 2019Private dining in the prep kitchen. Do not miss the crescenza tortellini with chocolate mint. It's all pretty flawless tho.
- Giovanna JonesApril 22, 2016OMG this place is AMAZING!!!!!!! A little expensive but you get what you pay for. All Italian imports & ingredients made from scratch in house!
- Runqiu CaiApril 29, 2015Pasta texture is amazing but some dishes are overly salted (squid ink). The best was the carrot tagliatelle.
- Brant McQuittyJuly 9, 2016The house made pastas reign supreme in the city with pastas ranging from delicately ethereal manti to seductively rich radiatore with braised pork
- dnxDecember 26, 2013It lives up to the hype. I'd go for the pizza salsiccia, again, and again, and again. Had a beer with that pizza (Ballast Point) - marvellos combination
- Nate LawlerMay 20, 2017Wild fennel pasta, leg of lamb and squid ink pasta were our favorites. Casual atmosphere with amazing food!
- Katie TDecember 7, 2012Half the restaurant is available for walk in's. The pizza is good, but the pasta is better!! Save room for dessert, the chocolate budino with espresso and sea salt is amazing!
- Margot MazurFebruary 7, 2017I had been waiting to come here for a year and the wait was worth it. Expertly crafted pasta dishes. Really incredible place.
- Jessica RaeSeptember 15, 2013Zagat 26. Cost: $49. amazing" wood-fired pies &"incredible", high-end pastas, "industrial-chic"; quarters are "tight", music's "loud", waits discourage some, "go early on a slow night"
- Marta TapperoDecember 17, 2016Flour + Water does not disappoint me ever with food. Everything was exquisite. If only the place was lees loud and less cold it would be perfect. And add cocktails to menu. Only wine and beer.
- I love the tasting menu. 5 courses of pasta may seem like too much but... <3
- Pro tip: Too many pastas to choose from? Ask for half orders. They’ll ask the chef but never had them say no. Great if you’re going solo.
- Robert MartinJuly 21, 2015Close to the best, if not the best, authentic pizza in SF. And the rest of the menu shines as well. Not your typical Italian.
- Amanda AizussAugust 12, 2015Can't really recommend something to try because the menu changes daily. I want to come back and do the tasting menu.
- Jenny JJuly 16, 2017If you're ordering ravioli and you're not a small child, you should order a side... like a pizza 😅 because you only get two pieces of ravioli. Pasta here is great though!
- SukhjeetNovember 12, 2012Via Nick: Get the pasta, veg sides (choice of 2, ask for rec's), pizza, might want to skip the app's and mains. Dessert: chocolate budino or brown cake (often better than it sounds).
- Neoshi CSeptember 7, 2019Best Italian food I’ve had in a while! The taleggio pasta and pomodoro pizza were fab. 🍝 🍕
- J KApril 27, 2017"Pizza is just as good with toppings like wild fennel, mozzarella, garlic and Castelvetrano olive tapenade" $16-20 2016Chron100. Pasta menu too for more $
