Southern to Central Italian Style Pasta

These pasta dishes are all traditionally served with dried pasta.
We use just Bucatini at the moment as it can be served with the following sauces.
Bucatini is a spaghetti style pasta in the form of a long hollow tube and is cooked al dente or with a little bite.

Although we recommend these pasta dishes with the dried pasta, you can order them with our fresh handmade pasta for an extra $ for normal, or $  for large.

Gluten free pasta available with all pasta dishes at no extra charge.
