Known for “bringing the simplicity and conviviality of traditional Italian dining to San Francisco’s Mission District,” Penny Roma — the more causal, streamlined sister restaurant to the legendary Flour + Water — at 3000 20th Street is expanding, transforming an adjacent Flour + Water space into an ancillary dining room.
According to SF Eater, a space adjacent to the eatery that has formerly been used as a lunch and retail section, “will be transformed into an expansion of the Penny Roma dining room.” “The goal is to create room for both Penny Roma’s solo diners and those who hope to walk in without reservation. The team plans to add an eight-seat Pasta Bar and ten-seat communal table, as well as an expand the pasta production line,” the report shares.
For readers who are unfamiliar with the concept, owned and operated by Flour + Water Restaurant Group, “the heart of Penny Roma’s menu is pasta, inspired by tried and true classics from all over Italy. Rotating selections of fish crudi, vegetable-driven antipasti and contorni, and wood-fired secondi are also prominently featured,” according to the eatery’s website.
To drink, “Wine Director Samuel Bogue has created an eccentric yet unpretentious and approachable wine list balancing classic and natural wines from Italy, California, and unique growing regions from around the world.”
Beginning July 11, Penny Roma will be open from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for delivery and to-go orders. Follow the eatery on Facebook and Instagram for additional updates.
