Choose from fettuccine, tagliatelle, pappardelle, gnocchi, and raviolo, plus a choice of marinara, bolognese, or pesto sauce. They have egg-free and gluten free options, too. Opened in 2014, The Italian Homemade Company has rapidly expanded due to its popularity and rave reviews.

This California-based chain now has five locations– three in San Francisco, one in Berkeley in the East Bay, and one in Long Beach in Southern California. The inside is clean and casual but does not have a ton of seating, which is fine because it seems many people opt for their food to-go.

Be aware that they do run out of certain pastas, so if you’re dead-set on getting a particular pasta, arrive when they open.

On TripAdvisor, reviewers rave about the pasta. They also like the seating at the North Beach location where you can sit at a bar in front of the window and people watch while you eat.

Being that this restaurant started in the home of start-ups– San Francisco, the owners describe it as a “food start-up created by the new generation of Italians who grew up in ‘nonni’s kitchen’ and grasped all her best recipes.”
