Pastificio Bolognese di Muzzarelli

Anyone who has dined in restaurants in Turin or Piedmont will likely have tasted, perhaps unknowingly, the products of Pastificio Bolognese, one of the most established suppliers to the trade. In this lovely shop in the Crocetta neighbourhood, next door to the workshop, you can appreciate the extensive production of this pasta maker which, despite growing considerably over its almost 80 years, has not lost its family dimension. The fourth generation is already making an appearance in the business, even though the founder, Achille Muzzarelli (born 1939), is still always around to offer words of advice.

You’ll find all the great classics, from agnolotti to tortelli, plin to tagliatelle. Some fillings reflect the changing seasons, such as tortelli with radicchio and Cervere leeks in tomato-pink dough or ravioli with ricotta, asparagus and Parmesan. There are no shortages of openings to other cultures either: with fresh noodles suitable for ramen prepared with an Italian touch. Beyond the pasta, you will find many prepared foods. Closed on Sundays and Monday and Saturday afternoons.
