Have you heard Tony Adams’s laugh? If you frequent the Marin County Farmers’ Markets on Sunday or Thursday in San Rafael, Adams’s laugh is as unmissable as his pastas, a calling card of happiness derived from durum wheat and an extruder. At Adams’s latest venture, a retail shop in downtown Mill Valley which opened in early September, his pasta dreams take full form. The shop boasts an entire wall of dried pasta, divided into “plain” and “flavored,” including the duck egg pasta that recently won a Good Food award. A fridge holds fresh pastas and sauces, including gluten-free options. Other tables and shelves feature wood-roasted coffee from Maine, imported Italian tomato sauces, local cheeses and meats, and other products that complement Adams’s pastas, sugos and ragus.
Until wine and beer is stocked next year, look for Italian-ish non-alcoholic spirits like Wilderton, a stand-in for Campari. Though Adams lives in town, you are still most likely to see (and hear) him at the farmers’ markets or at the San Rafael production facility where most of his product line is produced.
