Artisanal pasta tools & Italian kitchenware

Pasta tools, with a story

We believe traditions are meaningful and beautiful. For centuries, Italians have been making fresh pasta by hand, often utilizing ingenuity and artistry to craft their tools. Inspired by this art form, we source our pasta tools from artisans who are carrying on the traditions of their Italian ancestors.
