You know about Flour + Water, the Cal-Ital pasta legend in the Mission. In recent years, they’ve birthed an arsenal of spin-offs, including Penny Roma down the street and Flour + Water Pizzeria in North Beach. The least splashy—though still great—of the bunch is Flour + Water Pasta Shop. The menu here revolves around sandwiches, salads, and pasta, which you can take to go or eat in the Penny Roma courtyard next door. The sandwiches are solid, but we like this place best for the $30 lunch special that comes with salad, a pasta (go for the agnolotti or bolognese), and a chocolate chip cookie. Or stop by to stock up on fresh pasta and a bottle or two of wine.
