The Italian Homemade Company began in 2014 in San Francisco's North Beach, founded by Mattia Cosmi and Alice Romagnoli on the idea of bringing Emilia-Romagna's home cooking to a wider audience. The concept has since spread across the Bay Area and into Long Beach and Chicago, where it sits on West Fulton Street in the Fulton Market District.
The format centers on a build-your-own pasta counter: choose from fettuccine, tagliatelle, pappardelle, gnocchi, ravioli, or rigatoni, then pair it with a sauce like bolognese, pasticciata, pesto, or butter and sage. Beyond the counter, the menu runs to meat and veggie lasagna, tortellini stuffed with prosciutto and mortadella, and piadina — the yeast-free Emilia-Romagna flatbread, folded and stuffed with combinations like prosciutto di Parma and stracchino, or mortadella and scamorza. Cassone comes stuffed and served warm, and the dessert list closes with panna cotta and tiramisù.
Regulars describe the food as homemade and generous, with a nostalgic, grandma's-kitchen feel that's become part of what draws people to this stretch of Fulton Market.
