after the <a href="http://sfhaps.tumblr.com/post/130216644/tonys-pizza-napoletana-due-saturday-via-eatersf">opening</a>.. there was no wait so maybe that was a cue.. (not empty either but you know, where's the buzz). The "Tony" won some kind of world pizza tossing contest but there was no tossing to be seen<br /><br />The dough is interesting.. which is not necessarily good. It's thicker than the thin pizzas in the city and kinda doughy, fluffy? I can't say it's a hit. The decor didn't really jive with me either and that whole neighborhood is just too touristy.

Although I suppose the wait anywhere on a weekend at 8 is long (plan accordingly or get a reservation, there are also bar and communal seats)<br /><br />Overall ok, the portions are strangely small (embrace how the Europeans do it?), the food came out really fast. Will try to post some pics later<br /><br />yes<br />- salami pizza, the salami tasted like it was some homemade or high grade stuff (the pizza is quite big, I would say bigger than a medium.. you can't order that much else unless you are sharing)<br />- margherita salad though you might want to add some meat<br />- lamb tongue salad<br />- tomato salad<br />- stuffed squash<br />- taglioni w/ chanterelle<br />- budino dessert (chocolate ganache-y thing with sea salt and ice cream)<br />- wine wine wine<br /><br />ok<br />- peach salad<br />- parpadelle w/ braised pork cheeks, very good but the pasta is a little boring<br /><br />try<br />- more pizzas<br />- more desserts (olive oil cake?)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kewlio/3710759669/" title="Untitled by kewlio, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2301/3710759669_a2a3ab53fc_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="" /></a><br /><br /># visits: 2<br /><br />Flour + Water<br />2401 Harrison St<br />San Francisco, CA 94110<br />(415) 826-7000<br /><a href="http://flourandwater.com">flourandwater.com</a><br />(Harrison at 20th)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32732998-893821303215124587?l=what2order.blogspot.com'/></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/what2order/~4/Hn1tEN3ZT-I" height="1" width="1"/>kewlionoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32732998.post-17243911597761796272009-06-11T16:31:00.000-07:002009-06-11T16:35:46.709-07:00Kinda famous and popular but not too much for me.. make a reservation<br /><br />yes<br />- pizza (four-cheese)<br /><br />ok<br />- spaghetti with clams<br /><br />so so<br />- bucattini (spaghetti with hole inside, tube)<br />- risotto<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/paxtonholley/3436306106/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3381/3436306106_ab503d6b2d_m.jpg"/></a><br />Photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/paxtonholley/3436306106/">Paxton Holley</a><br /><br />Bistro Don Giovanni‎<br />4110 Howard Ln<br />Napa, CA 94558<br />(707) 224-3300<br /><a href="http://bistrodongiovanni.com‎">bistrodongiovanni.com‎</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32732998-1724391159776179627?l=what2order.blogspot.com'/></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/what2order/~4/GDSAtCOyWrE" height="1" width="1"/>kewlionoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32732998.post-36917170377004484652009-05-14T15:36:00.000-07:002009-05-14T15:39:56.005-07:00If you're ever in Noe, this is it (crowded though)<br /><br />oh yes<br />- patatas bravas<br />- pork belly bocadillo<br /><br />good<br />- bread (though you pay for it.. bleh)<br />- prosciutto<br />- oxtail croquettas<br />- little fried fish (you would need to like this sorta thing)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kewlio/3531475703/" title="Untitled by kewlio, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3386/3531475703_edb925b101_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="" /></a><br />More <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kewlio/tags/contigo/">photos</a><br /><br />Contigo‎<br />1320 Castro St<br />San Francisco, CA 94114<br />(415) 285-0250<br />(Castro at 24th)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32732998-3691717037700448465?l=what2order.blogspot.com'/></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/what2order/~4/0Ay3hl1NQnY" height="1" width="1"/>kewlionoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32732998.post-64151689975040004712009-05-13T10:42:00.000-07:002009-05-13T10:47:26.949-07:00Busy I hear<br /><br />yes<br />- lobster roll<br />- crab louis roll<br /><br />good but hard to eat<br />- stuffed artichokes<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eatingintranslation/3302056691/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3040/3302056691_a9eaeb7990_m.jpg"/></a><br />Photo by Eating In Translation<br /><br />2 locations<br /><br />Woodhouse Fish Company<br />2073 Market St<br />San Francisco, CA 94114<br />(415) 437-2722<br /><br />Woodhouse Fish Company<br />1914 Fillmore St<br />San Francisco, CA 94115<br />(415) 437-2722<br /><br /><a href="http://woodhousefish.com">woodhousefish.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32732998-6415168997504000471?l=what2order.blogspot.com'/></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/what2order/~4/KnD5sFJeE8c" height="1" width="1"/>kewlionoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32732998.post-83510948127962990712009-05-11T15:33:00.000-07:002009-05-13T00:03:31.701-07:00Wow, great meal, one of the best of the year.
