Really enjoyed Agrodolce Provisions. It's a small, casual neighborhood spot with an open kitchen and a very relaxed setup -- find a seat, order by QR code, and pick up your food when it's ready. We ordered four pastas to share and ended up adding a fifth. My favorite was the Conchiglie with Shrimp & Calabrian Chili. The pasta had a great chewy texture, the shrimp worked perfectly with the shell shape, and the Calabrian chili added a noticeable kick without overpowering everything else. The Strozzapreti with Sausage Ragu was another favorite -- fresh, bright, and nicely balanced with lemon and broccolini. The Spaghettoni all'Amatriciana was also excellent, with a great bite and rich, savory guanciale. Overall, what stood out most was the pasta itself. Every shape had a really nice springy, chewy texture and tasted freshly made. The Chocolate Cake was very rich and very sweet -- good for sharing, but probably not a must for me next time. Portions are on the smaller side, about right for one person, which makes it easy to order several different pastas for the table. Simple space, simple food, but everything felt thoughtful and well made. I'd definitely come back for the pasta. One thing to know: they're currently only open Tuesday-Friday for lunch, so plan accordingly. read more

The expectations of what you're supposed to do are pretty confusing despite them having a sign where they try to explain. The problem with those instructions is they don't explain that you're supposed to grab any open seat (if you're dining in) or just order whenever (if you're doing takeout)--or at least that's what the rules seemed to be after I confusedly waited in line for half an hour behind people waiting for a table while I would've fit in as one person at the counter. The strozzapreti with parmigiano sausage ragu was great, but for me not necessarily worth the stressful experience. There's at least one other place that for me the pasta is similar or better quality and not as crowded. The chocolate cake was a good texture, but it didn't taste chocolatey. The frosting appeared to be a cream cheese base and mostly tasted like cream cheese. read more

Pasta was the best I've had in San Francisco in a long time, but the portions were on the smaller side and quite salty. One of the chefs literally tastes every pan of pasta for approval before sending it out. I'm not a fan of the layout and experience. One person said they were confused if it's a take-out place, or a sit-down restaurant, and I concur. Labor's expensive, so is real estate... At least they're trying! read more

Absolutely phenomenal! SOMA has a new restaurant in town, and it's everything. It's pasta and chocolate cake. Yes, you read that correctly. That's all they serve. What more do you need? Do you want this? YES!! Do you need this? YES!! Do you need reservations? They don't take them. Are they open all of the time?? NO. They are open Tuesday- Friday from noon to 4pm Seating is very limited. Can you order to go? Yes! When you're able to grab a seat, please Se the table QR code to order and pay. Always order the chocolate cake. Always. It's the best in SF. Everything about a made to order, so no, you can't have it your way. You get what's on the menu. As is. Don't ruin the flow. Everything is made in house, including the cake. We ordered Spaghettoni all'amatriciana. Marinara, guanciale, Calabrian chili, and pecorino cheese. This was DEEElicious. The Strozzapreti with parmigiano sausage ragu. This was phenomenal. You need this!! Seriously ordered this, and thank me later. We fork fought over this dish, and I would do it again. Did I mention that you need to get the chocolate cake?! of course I did. They say that Marisa's chocolate cake is shareable. You will question your sanity. The slice is fairly thin, but the cake is so incredibly decadent and delicious. It is shareable. Thank you, Marisa for using the dark chocolate cocoa, the way it is intended. Everything about Agrodolce is perfection. The owner and staff work their a$$es off to get your order to you quickly. Mangiare l! read more

Incredible pasta with flavors that pack a punch! I'm so incredibly impressed with all the pastas. Contrary to belief, I think the portions are perfect. As a chocolate cake connoisseur the chocolate cake is one of the best I've ever had. Everything is incredible here. Can't wait to eat my way through the rest of the menu. read more

The food was outstanding, the right portion size, fabulous taste, incredible. We had two orders of bolognese, a piece of focaccia, two pieces of chocolate cake, one glass of red wine, and two sparkling waters for $125. It is a really big deal to eat such a carb heavy, rich meal without a salad. Salads are not hard, but they are essential. This alone will stop me from ever coming back. More to the point, Agrodolce does not seem to know if it wants to be a restaurant or a take out place. The location is miserable. They need better ventilation. While I found street parking, good luck not getting onto the 80 heading to Oakland! The traffic moves fast and you're forced into a left exit if you aren't willing to just push your way through waving at people praying they will be kind. The long communal table is not inviting for 2 people who just want to eat and catch up. Why force people into awkward spaces? And the table is too wide to really speak to the person across from you if you are stuck in the middle. The space is just all wrong for a comfortable sit down meal. But more importantly, the lack of service at those prices is disappointing. They expect me to bus my own plates. NO. That is a bridge too far. Grow up already and be a real restaurant offering real service. Be genuinely hospitable. Create a warm, inviting place in a better neighborhood. Or don't and go 100% take out. This dancing in the middle is not great. And the food is worthy of being great. read more

Nice and tight... I'm talking about a menu, ya pervs. I like restos with small, focused menus because you're more likely to get 10 really great dishes instead of 100+ mid ones. It also helps cut down on food waste. Agrodolce Provisions quietly opened last month and still feels pretty under the radar, taking over the old Henry's Hunan space across from Porsche and TJ's. Open for weekday lunch only. At night, the space is available for pop-up dinners. It's a similar concept to Pasta Supply Co., they make their pastas and sauces from scratch and sell them to take home. There's also six pasta dishes on the lunch menu. Wine by the glass available. Seat yourself, order from the QR code, grab your plate + utensils, and bus your own table. Self-serve water. Everything is under $20. No surcharges. And, tip caps at 6%!!!! Delivery available through most of the 3rd party apps. F O O D * Strozzapreti with Parmigiano Sausage Ragu: Pork sausage, parmigiano reggiano, broccolini, lemon, herb ($20) The short hand-rolled pieces of pasta were perfectly cooked, al-dente with a nice chew. Lightly sauced with meaty morsels of savory sausage, crisp broccolini, and a pop of lemon that kept things bright. The finishing breadcrumbs added a really nice texture contrast. Flavorful, well-balanced, and not heavy. No food coma afterwards. Fair warning: Portions lean more Italian than American. If you're hella hangry, one order of pasta may not be enough. My friend wanted to try their pastas so to go, I ordered: * Strozzapreti with Parmigiano Sausage Ragu: Pork sausage, parmigiano reggiano, broccolini, lemon, herb ($20) * Tagliatelle Bolognese w/ parmigiano reggiano, beef, pork ($18) * Conchiglie with Shrimp & Calabrian Chili: Rock shrimp, orange-chili butter, chive, lemon ($18) They said all three were done well with the fav being the strozzapreti. S E R V I C E Friendly, gracious owner. There's only two staff so if you're in a rush, def come at opening time (12 pm). A M B I A N C E Cozy, with rustic charm and a open kitchen. There's one communal table, counter seating, lounge area, and one table outside. Overall, Agrodolce Provisions is a welcome addition to the SoMa/Design District area. If you're looking for delicious, high-quality housemade pastas that's easy on the wallet (for SF standards), def hit up this new local business. read more

Had to come try the chocolate cake, so we came for lunch. It is only open on week days, but the inside is beautiful. This is a great place for introverts, you can order on your phone and find your own seat. The pasta was fresh and the sauce well done, although it was on the line of being too salty. The cake was decadent, moist, and well layered. I could see one person eating it, but it feeds two as well. My only wish is that they sold milk to go with it. Price wise I would say it was pretty equivalent to other bay area Italian spots, but given that it's a lunch spot some people may expect lower prices. read more

This is a self serve "restaurant" you seat yourself at an available spot, use a QR code to order and pay. Get your own utensils, food and drink. At least the suggested tip is from 2-6% which I appreciated. The pasta was good, all priced under $20. I might've given a higher review but for the dessert. They just have a chocolate cake for $15. The frosting was odd, it looked like chocolate but tasted like there was caramel in it. It was cloyingly sweet. I felt nauseous after eating it. read more

The pasta was excellent. I was first in line to get in, but the person who opened the door greeted no one - that was a sign. I soon figured out that I had to order using a QR code, which I did. I had to leave to get a better/proper parking space - parking is tight in this area - and when I returned I expected my order - I had a text it was ready. Instead they said it was not in their system, and I had to show a receipt, which I did. They made me another order, but served it in cardboard. I guess I should have known I wasn't going to get what I wanted when I noted the lack of greeting, welcome or instructions. I wish them well, they got busy by the time I left. Anyone who visits should not expect any type of service, ordering is via QR code and a poor UI/UX (I had to search for 'pasta' - strange for a menu with just a handful of items), and be prepared to show a receipt. read more

Perfect for a casual lunch! Came here with my friend and we picked out two pastas and dessert. Cheesy macaroni and conchiglie with shrimp and Calabrian chili were perfect together- one cheesy and one tangy, great for sharing. The chocolate cake was moist and not too sweet. Would definitely come back! read more

Don't be fooled by the QR codes and bussing your own tables, their food is incredible from entree to dessert. The ambiance is interesting and cute, although the shade of green had to grow on me. Each pasta was a delightful experience of textures and flavors. The famous chocolate cake, this thinly cut 7+ layer ordeal, is another practice in "I didn't know food could such an experience": the frosting is this pudding like consistency that my bf and I thought could easily be its own dessert with a dollop of home made whipped cream on top and the cake layers seemed moist to the point of reminding me to tiramisu. I will be back and will be telling all my friends. 5 stars for the food alone. Don't expect a fancy sit down experience, expect fancy mouth experience. read more

Saw this place on @infatuation and it looked divine. The hours of operation are a bit challenging since it's Tues - Fri for lunch only. However, a place that specializes in fresh pasta and chocolate cake will always get my attention. We arrived right at opening and it was pretty quiet for the first half hour and then the space slowly filled up by about 1p on a Friday. You order on your phone (QR code provided) and if you dine-in, the food is served on beautiful dish ware. Water is self-serve and there's bins to bus your own table after you finish. My friend and I both ordered the Strozzapreti with Parmigiano Sausage Ragu and a Marissa's Chocolate Cake for two. Everything looked beautiful. Unfortunately, my friend and I both thought the pasta was too salty. Every bite was just salt. The textures were nice and there was so much potential for me to love it. But just salt. Thankfully, the chocolate cake helped make up for this and it was a moist and had a good dark chocolate flavor (with maybe a hint of fruitiness?). I really wanted to love this place, because it truly is an adorable little restaurant, but I just can't get over the salt. Maybe this isn't an issue with their other pastas? read more

I am obsessed with their chocolate cake. It's the best I've ever had. I think about it once a day. My friend ordered a few slices of cake to-go for a gathering. One of our friends didn't finish his cake. I put the leftovers in my freezer. I'm saving it for an emergency cake day. read more

The service was gracious and great -- no complaints at all! This review will only be about the food. I spent $45 on 8 pieces of lamb pasta with some peas or fava beans? and carrots, a slice of chocolate cake, and sparkling water. The pasta was barely hot when it arrived -- flavors were mid, nothing really extraordinary about it except the texture being al dente. The chocolate cake really got me though -- full of sugar. So sweet that I could only eat 3 bites and had to leave the rest. I feel really bad as it was very moist, but truly SO sweet that I couldn't pay attention to anything else. I had heard a lot of good things about this place, but in the end, I was really disappointed. :( Been to Italy many times and this is a pretty sad comparison. Pretty bummed. read more

newly opened pasta spot in soma. liked my friend's rigatoni marinara the most though marinara could have done with a deeper tomato flavor. pasta serving sizes are a little small, two of our party ordered seconds. chocolate cake reminded me of selby's. you order on a qr code and staff bring out your dishes. eating in is pretty nice, good decor. read more

Amazingly delicious, high-quality vegetarian pastas! I loved both the mac n' pepe and the rigatoni. I am still thinking about both and planning my next visit. I do wish the portion sizes were bigger but I can't complain at this price for the quality - a $15-20 pasta on par with, and better than some of, SF's high-end Italian restaurants, where it would easily cost $30+. I wasn't as into the cake, but that's probably because I don't really like chocolate, or cake, so ignore me on that (I'd have rather had a third pasta!) But it's a huge slice; definitely big enough to share. read more

After a morning taking in stunning views of San Francisco from Yerba Buena Island, we drove to SoMa on a sunny, picture-perfect day to Agrodolce Provisions. We read in advance about its limited menu, but we were anxious to try their homemade pastas and cake. It's a cute little place with limited inside seating where you scan a barcode as you enter and wait for the food to be delivered to you. Easy enough. My daughter and I ordered the Tagliatelle Bolognese and Strozzapreti with Parmigiano Sausage Ragu to share, and, of course, the 7-layer chocolate cake. Both pastas were good, especially the sauces, but they were cooked to near mushiness. Clearly al dente is not the order of the day here. The chocolate cake was delicious and well worth a visit for this treat alone. They do have sauces and soup you can take away - maybe we should have tried them. I wouldn't travel from the East Bay to SF when there are far better pastaiolo in Oakland. read more
