Hands down best rigatoni with vodka sauce I have ever had! ❤️ And I love pasta!Upon entry you feel that everyone who works there has a passion for cooking and feeding people. It’s also the perfect spot to purchase imported Italian goodies from flour, olives, peppers to oils and coffee. It’s a true gem that I hope to visit for many more years to come.Thank you for making my day!

The best pasta and service. Mr Bartucci goes out of his way to make sure you know how best to prepare and present the meal. They have homemade fresh and frozen sauces and a nice assortment of Italian import goods, and you can also have their food at the restaurant next door.

Love, love, love pasta fresh.Their pasta is always, as the name says, Fresh. They have a wide variety of pastas, and raviolis. They also have a variety of pasta sauces. My favorite is their vodka sauce. They dont accept credit or debit cards, just cash and checks. So if you want to try their pastas, I wanted you to know in advance. I recommend everyone should try pasta fresh.You will not be disappointed.Also, the owners are lovely people.Very helpful.

Everything about this local Institution is classic Italian!. The beautiful indoor Decor really makes you feel like you are sitting in a small Cafe somewhere in a town in Italy. They have many Italian foods to choose from in their cold and dry goods section of their store. They have excellent choices for Italian olive oil, cooking supplies, and all the Staples necessary for making a traditional Italian meal. Then on top of all that they hand make fresh pasta every single day to take home and cook! We ordered six types of pasta noodles and they really made our Christmas meal memorable. I highly recommend pasta fresh for people looking to have a healthy homemade meal with a flair of tastes from Italy.

This is thee best pasta shop around! The family run business takes pride in their craft by making excellent quality ravioli, tagliatelle, cavatelli and much much more. Our personal favorites are the lobster racks and rotollo. Also their fresh panzerotti are the best in Little Italy!

The Panzerotti are something special. Rigatoni so perfectly cooked and the vodka sauce such a creamy, delicious compliment. I dont know why we dont pick up lunch here more often. So so good. Lasagna was lunch special today, a great treat.

My husband and I took a road trip to Pasta Fresh and need to write about this amazing establishment. First greeted by the owner and possibly son? who walked us through the menu and offerings.We bought a little of this and that to try and we are going back this week. There is no reason to EVER use boxed pasta again as this homemade product changes everything! The meatballs, vodka sauce, meat sauce, white clam sauce is just above and beyond wonderful!The fresh pasta only adds to the fabulous sauces!A MUST try!Thank you so much for sharing your talents to the publicBob and Lisa Piper

We happened to find Pasta Fresh during a random online search for handmade pasta in the area. Upon walking in, I knew immediately this was somewhere special. The service is fantastic, the options are great and the pricing was affordable. But the real story here is the food itself. We purchased pasta and cannolis, and both were easily the best we’ve had in Chicago. We look forward to many more visits to Pasta Fresh!

Got some pasta, pesto, and vodka sauce to go and made it at home and the pasta was the freshest pasta I have had outside of Italy. The sauce was delicious and it took me back to my time in Italy! We will be back.

What can you say? Fresh pasta made daily, it doesnt get any better than that. Once you make fresh pasta, it will be so difficult to go back to dried pasta. Try this place and youll be hooked just like me.

Was very excited to get a bunch of stuff to try and some to bring to my Dad. Things were good and my Dad enjoyed but they dont accept credit or debit so my purchases were limited. Then I had to make another stop for cash which luckily was not inconvenient but none the less irritating.

Great restaurant/store. The employees were very nice and helpful. If there is any complaint, its that they are cash only (at least they were when I went there a few months ago). I didnt have my debit card so I could not get any more cash and we had to limit our order. On second thought, Im happy I had to limit the purchase to what was in my pocket or I wouldve walked out with a lot of things for the family.
