Social media is full of video tutorials showing how you can make homemade pasta, but it’s not as easy as it looks. The chefs at The Italian Homemade Company have it down to a science. You can expect delicious pasta every time you visit any of its locations. Read about why we think some of the best pasta in Northern California comes from this homemade pasta company:

The Italian Homemade Company serves a wide variety of pasta in a casual setting. Customers are served freshly made pasta, gnocchi, and other Italian favorites on paper plates.

The menu is set up like a choose-your-own-pasta-adventure. After your first bite, you'll quickly see why we think this is one of the best restaurants in NorCal.

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.

Both locals and tourists love the food and the casual concept of this eatery. Some locations serve dry goods, too.

This California-based chain now has five locations in California – three in San Francisco, one in Berkeley in the East Bay, and one in Long Beach in Southern California. There is also a sixth store in Chicago. 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.

There is nothing like enjoying pre-prepared pasta and bolognese in the comfort of your own home.

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

If you want to serve their food at your next event or party, you can order from their catering menu. The catering menu has all their best pasta, piadina, and cassone.

The pasta is perfectly cooked until it’s "al dente"-- that ideal texture that has a bite to it before it’s overcooked.

If you love pasta like we do, you'll probably agree that this is one of the best pasta restaurants in Northern California. The North Beach location is particularly fun if you enjoy people-watching as the bar seating faces the street so you can people-watch while you eat.

Being that this restaurant started in the home of start-ups in 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.”

The recipes come from the Emilia-Romagna and Marche regions of Italy. Emilia-Romagna is Italy’s foodie region. Some of the best pasta, prosciutto, cheese, and balsamic vinegar come from this region.
