About Flour + Salt

Flour + Salt delivers soulful Italian in Fairfield with scratch-made pastas, blistered pizzas, and warm hospitality. The dining room carries an easy hum, shifting effortlessly from noisy birthday celebrations to midweek dinners. Regulars know to look for the house-made squid ink pasta—tossed with seafood—or a slow-cooked ragu over tender gluten-free penne. Owner Michael often works the floor himself, greeting regulars, recommending antipasti, and surprising birthday tables with celebratory drinks. Crisp blistered pizza crusts arrive with house-made chilli oil and grated parmesan on the side, capped off with a chilled sgroppino or a slice of cake.

  • Handcrafted Fresh Pasta: Made fresh in-house, from tender ribbons with rich ragu to specialty squid ink pasta and coeliac-safe gluten-free options.
  • Owner-Led Hospitality: Owner Michael personally works the floor, steering tables through antipasti and sharing celebratory drinks for milestone birthdays.
  • Coeliac-Safe Choices: Thoughtfully caters to coeliac and gluten-free diners with dedicated pizza crusts and pasta dishes that never compromise on texture.

  • Reassuring Coeliac and Gluten-Free Dining

    The venue caters reliably to coeliac and allergy dining needs with dedicated gluten-free crusts, pastas, and attentive kitchen care.

    The pizza is so good, we always have that "are you sure this is gluten free?" moment. The ragu was the perfect amount of sauce to pasta, and the meat was so tender. Again, the gluten free pasta was delicious.
