Flour + Water

MacKenzie Chung Fegan

“See on map #39 in 2025 San Francisco GenreItalian Price$$$ Flour + Water, one of the region’s defining Cal-Italian restaurants, remains fanatical about pasta, offering more than 80 shapes — all contained in [an actual encyclopedia](https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2023/flour-water-pasta/). For good reason, though, the most celebrated is the scarpinocc, a raft-shaped pasta with a dimple that serves as a reservoir for milky Taleggio cheese and tart balsamic vinegar. Address 2401 Harrison St., San Francisco Have you been? 36.”

“With only 49 seats, [flour + water](http://sf.eater.com/places/flour-and-water) is a squeeze, and they take very few reservations (less than half of the dining room). Chef Thomas McNaughton’s housemade pastas and Neapolitan-style pizzas are likely to only get more famous with a cookbook release, set for next month. * [Book a table](https://reservations.safegraph.com/reserve/219735?utm_source=safegraph&utm_campaign=poi) * [2401 Harrison St, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Flour%20%2B%C2%A0Water%2C%202401%20Harrison%20St%2C%20San%20Francisco%2C%20CA%2094110%2C%20USA) * [(415) 826-7000](tel:4158267000) * [Visit website](http://flourandwater.com/) ![”

“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](/2023/1/31/23575135/tortellini-en-brodo-flour-water-san-francisco), should you need some motivation to commit. * [Book a table](https://reservations.safegraph.com/reserve/219735?utm_source=safegraph&utm_campaign=poi) * [2401 Harrison St, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Flour%20%2B%20Wate”

“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.

“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](https://www.theinfatuation.com/san-francisco/reviews/penny-roma) (also in the Mission), has any open tables.
