We spent the better part of a year testing different pasta brands and pasta shapes while testing and perfecting our made-from-scratch pasta sauces before settling on the 7 types of pasta, 8 types of sauces, 4 types of protein, and 7 types of toppings before settling on our final options of our Build Your Own Pasta menu.
And we didn’t stop there! Through our cooking, we perfected timeless classic pairings which became our Built For You menu, featuring Rigatoni with our traditional all meat (no tomato) trattoria style Bolognese, imported Artichoke Hearts with Fettuccine, and wavy Mafalde tossed with juicy Tuscan Fennel Sausage and Broccoli Rabe.
