Flour + Water Pasta Shop

Great lunch spot, the food is so fresh!

Loved the atmosphere and the wait staff couldn’t be nicer. The pasta I ordered was less than mediocre with way too much sauce.
I expected a bit more for $22. All I got a small dish of pasta, no garnish, no bread, no nothin.
I won’t be back.

This is one of my favorite reasons to go to SF, pick up some fresh pasta and kale pesto, some bolognese for the meat eaters. I had extra time today and had the vegan sandwich as a dine in, rather then taking it to Dolores Park and people watching while indulging in the good life. Wait. It’s a whole different experience! Warm and oozing deliciousness, a balanced contrast to the fresh crisp greens. Best Vegan Sandwich in the Bay Area. Right?

Vegetarian options: Besides the vegan club, the eggplant parmigiana sandwich is amazing.

Used to be really good, but the quality has gone way down. The price was high but worth it occasionally. For what you get now it’s super overpriced. Maybe I’ll come back one day to see if they’ve gotten their act together.

Something has changed here. I loved this place so much and have been getting their sandwiches for years but recently (past 6 months) something has changed. The sandwiches are much smaller (still expensive but used to feel like it was worth the high cost) and they don’t taste as good. Less care being put into them maybe. They also take a lot longer to come out of the kitchen, maybe too focused on DoorDash deliveries. I’m sad about it. This was my favorite sandwich on the west coast for a long time. $60 for 2 sandwiches after the obligatory iPad tip.

I was really disappointed by the sandwiches considering how fantastic Flour + Water and Penne Roma dinner is, but the sandwiches were so basic! Sesame bread was hard and honestly sesame isn’t a match for Italian notes. More than anything, the sandwiches were overpriced and basic for $20+

I ordered a sandwich tray for a 10 person Philly Roast Pork Sandwich option. I requested to cut them in half and it was ready for pick up when I needed it at 230pm.

The presentation was great and they were a hit at the party I attended and brought them to.

No issues whatsoever so if you need serve a big group consider this a great option. It came out to $145 subtotal which i thought was fair for the quality of food.

Terrible quality and overpriced. The food used to be decent but now it’s bad. $24 salad that came in a pathetic box, half full of moldy greens. SF prices for a Midwest salad bar. What is this the airport, jk the airport has better quality food than this place.

Had lunch here, the three of us shared the Kale Caesar Salad, Eggplant Parm sandwich, and Fried Chicken sandwich. All the dishes were delicious. Street parking can be a challenge, but we were lucky.

The best meatball sub I’ve ever had… I’m serious! It’s incredible and very filling. The ingredients are very fresh and this goes for all of their menu items. I love their fresh take home pasta as well. But the menu items are pricey. A sandwich alone can cost you up to $25 dollars alone.

Great food, but very expensive with terrible service. Our server was annoyed that we didn’t order more food, and tried to blackmail us into ordering more. Won’t come here again.

One star off because the pasta portion isn’t as big as you would expect. Appetizer size.

The Salumi Sandwich at Flour +Water Pasta Shop WAS one of the best sandwiches I ever ate. The first picture is of the sandwich the last time I was there. The second is a picture from today. Nothing more needs to be said.

Ridiculously over priced and just not that good. Even if it was amazing, 40 dollars for a pound of fresh pasta to cook at home is unacceptable IMO. I ordered pizza from the restaurant a while back and the crust was mediocre. There are better places in SF for Pizza Napolitana that aren’t as pricey.
