Famiglia Baldassarre

About Famiglia Baldassarre

Industrial stretch of Geary Ave, fluorescent lights, bags of semolina stacked against the wall — this is a pasta shop that happens to feed you, not a restaurant pretending to be casual. They roll everything fresh, and you can taste it in the chew. The lunch window is brutally short — two hours, Wednesday to Friday — so show up early or resign yourself to just buying sheets of pappardelle to cook at home. Grab whatever the rotating menu says and don't overthink it.
