This pasta was lovely. I loved the texture of the fettucine and the meat sauce was rich and delicious. We’ve got a winner!
Handmade pappardelle with smoked salmon, prawns, and zucchini in a light cream sauce. $18.50
Fiore Caffe, San Francisco CA
I loved the pasta in this dish. It had a wonderful texture and was perfectly cooked. I liked the simple ingredients with the light cream sauce (although it was a tad bit on the salty side).
With hazelnut, celery root and sage. Pasta tasting $70
Flour + Water, San Francisco CA
Mmm, these little pillows were perfection! The water buffalo filling was so good and I loved the aggressive black pepper flavor. The rich sauce and fun textures put this pasta over the top. Noms!

Nettle and cippolini agrodolce. Pasta tasting $70
Flour + Water, San Francisco CA
I’ve never heard of tajarin pasta before, but I guess it’s a thinner version of tagliatelle. Anyway, the best part of this dish was the brown butter giblet sauce – omg, SO good! Combined with the grated cheese on top, it was the best combination of sweet and salty.

$22
Cotogna, San Francisco CA
This was a wonderful combination of sweet, salty, and cheesy! This large raviolo was really fun to eat, but I think I got a bit overloaded with all the richness of the ricotta center. It tasted so good though that I couldn’t stop eating it, lol!

Charred wheat berry broth, thumbelina carrot. Pasta tasting $70
Flour + Water, San Francisco CA
I’m in love with this pasta! The rabbit tortellini was perfectly cooked al dente and it tasted wonderful. The wheat berry broth was rich and umami and really complimented the rabbit nicely.

Caper and artichoke. Pasta tasting $70
Flour + Water, San Francisco CA
This was different for me. I can’t say that I eat a lot of pasta with poached and marinated tuna. The taggiasca was fun to eat though, but perhaps the entire dish was bit on the salty side. So this wasn’t my favorite pasta of the night.

Rock shrimp, calamari, mussels, lobster sauce. Restaurant week lunch with wine pairing $42
One Market Restaurant, San Francisco CA
Mmm, such a lovely dish! The pasta was cooked perfectly and the seafood tasted great along with the lobster sauce. I would have loved more of the seafood, but then I’m just a glutton! 🙂
I see my pasta getting made! 🙂
With black garlic. Pasta tasting $70
Flour + Water, San Francisco CA
Omg, I don’t know what they put in their pasta (perhaps crack?), but it’s so delicious and addicting! This first pasta course was wonderfully rich and comforting.

“Little wind pipes”, Liberty Farm duck ragu, foie gras, quince agrodolce. $21
Perbacco, San Francisco CA
Omg, this plate of pasta was delicious! I guess you can’t go wrong with pasta at Perbacco (although my friend did not enjoy his risotto). The garganelli were cooked perfectly and they were really fun to eat. Between the duck ragu and foie gras, the sauce was particularly wonderful. Noms!
Bucatini, tomato, onions, pancetta, pecorino. $18
54 Mint, San Francisco CA
Simple and delicious! The pasta was perfectly al dente and the sauce was rich and tasty. The portions was small, but it filled me up just fine.
Mild Italian sausage, onions, and marinara sauce with mozzarella and fontina cheeses. $12.75
Firewood Cafe, San Francisco CA
Ugh, I can’t ever deny a warm, bubbly, cheesy, saucy pasta dish. I feel like I need to hit the gym again just thinking about it. This was very home-y and yummy.
