La Pastaia

Small and simple artisan laboratory found without reading any reviews. Excellent offer of specialties based on fresh pasta and an inviting proposal of savory pies. I tasted a little homemade pesto and in December, so good, I have never heard it. Today making pasta has become an art. Compliments to the owner and her expert hands.

It's been over a year since I discovered this wonderful little shop in the Isola area, with its open-view fresh pasta workshop. The products are always incredibly fresh, made according to traditional recipes and with seasonal ingredients. I order and always add something I find ready in the shop when I pick up. I've tried the lasagna several times: delicious and light; the tagliatelle, both fresh and dried; the delicious pesto; the passatelli, the pumpkin and artichoke ravioli; the savory pies; the wonderful ciambellone, the tarts, and so many other delicious treats. Safaa is friendly, kind, and always available: she always reminds me of cooking methods and times! The passion she puts into her work is evident in the taste of the excellent products. Highly recommended!

If Safa didn't exist, we'd have to invent her! 😃 She's been nourishing and pampering me for years with her wonderful vegetarian ravioli and fabulous passatelli. Highly recommended and always super helpful.

Entering this little shop the smell of fresh basta envelops you. I work nearby and when I want to treat myself in the evening I stop by to get some excellent fresh pay. Congratulations indeed.

I'm so happy I found this gem of a pasta maker! The pumpkin ravioli Mantovana-style were amazing! I'll be back soon.

I bought delicious Christmas Tortellini from Pastaia Safaa: a firm, delicately flavored pasta that accommodates a savory, full-bodied filling. Served in broth, according to Bolognese tradition, they were delicious the next day too. A few days later, we purchased and tried the large ravioli filled with fresh sea bass and lemon: seasoned with just a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a sprig of thyme, they were amazing! So I wholeheartedly recommend this shop (where you'll always find plenty of excellent fresh pasta) with one caveat: if you want something special, order a couple of days in advance. Safaa will make some truly wonderful dishes!

A story of rebirth and incredible social impact, combined with an ancient art expertly mastered by Safaa. Much more than a common pasta factory: a true experience!

Try the fresh pasta ravioli made to order! Delicate flavor and excellent pasta! This pasta shop deserves its reputation!

I bought tagliolini and tonnarelli. Delicious! Next time I want to try the cappelletti, which I saw being made behind the counter, all closed by hand like my grandmother used to make them.

If you're looking for fresh pasta, ravioli, gnocchi, and homemade cakes made with skill and dedication, then head to Pastaia Safaa. Everything is made right before your eyes. Everything they prepare is delicious and, above all, fresh. The prices are reasonable, the service excellent, and Mrs. Safaa's friendliness is second to none. Try it, you won't regret it. On Via Porro Lambertenghi, you'll find the best pasta, ravioli, gnocchi, and desserts.

This shop offers kindness too!

I had the meat ravioli, not the tortellini. I liked them, and so did my fellow diners.
