    Simply the best. The most amazing pasta in the world. You know the place knows what's what when they simply offer you a napkin and a fork, no knife or spoon required! 200g is not enough, if you're vaguely hungry then I'd highly recommend you order 400g and combine two flavours. The Gricia and Tomato&Basil were both AWESOME. For a size reference, I've included pictures of the pasta. The ravolli portion is 200g. The "long pasta" (Tagliatelline) is only 100g. Cannot recommend this place enough. The lady runs the front of house and she is absolutely lovely, speaks fluent English. Her husband is the chef and he is friendly too! If you're coming here for dinner then I highly recommend you get here early, before 6pm. There are only 3 tables outside and they all filled to before 6.05pm! By 6.15pm the restaurant was full and there was a queue outside! Really good value for money. Incredibly tasty and varied sauces. Wonderful experience.

    Pasta was so delicious and the portions were generous. The owners are very kind. Glad I could taste authentic homemade pasta at a place like this! Definitely recommend.

    Ravioli is my favorite type of pasta. They are not easy to be made, so I usually search for them everywhere I go. Usually people tend to drown them in sauce, but good ravioli should be tasty without too many extra things. This is what I found here: ravioli with a bit of sage flavored butter. The texture was perfect. I enjoyed every bite. We also ordered Putanesca and Gricia pasta mix. They were tasty, but it's not something that you can't do at home 😄 Overall, I found there what I've looked for so I was pleased. 9€ for single type of pasta/12€ for the mix

    We were excited to try out this restaurant, but we came in the evening before closing time so they only had one pasta type offered with two different sauces. We ordered two plates, one with each sauce, and they were just okay, nothing exceptional. Maybe their other dishes are more tasty, so we’d be open to giving it another try in the future!

    Good fresh pasta! The menu is basic and every pasta is homemade. After you choose your pasta type, they prepare everything at that time. And you can mix your plate if you want to try more! Delicious!

    It’s a tiny but cozy shop on the street, you’d miss it out if you don’t pay attention while walking! Little seatings, but owner was fantastic. Friendly even when it’s super busy. Felt very welcomed and really really enjoyed the pasta. Simple yet more tasty than a lot more other fancy places. Admire their passion for pasta! Will definitely come back again.

    Small but delicious place, where the owners serve 3 different home-made fresh pasta with 5 different sauces of your choice. There is no deserts, no coffee, only pasta and something to drink with.

    The ones with Tomato&Buratina and Gracia was very good, all the ingredients are homemade. The local is very small but nice for a family business. 200g it’s enough. You can choose 2 types (100g with 100g). I recommand it.

    Probably one of the best pasta place in Milan. The food was perfectly cooked and delicious. The staff was very friendly and they talk English as well. Totally recommended.

    Visited 22.10 2021 at noon: Basic as advertised. Homemade pasta - small factory in the back.. Friendly and attentive staff (owners?) Clean place. Fresh made and tasty dishes. However, for an Italian like me not mindblowing. The dish with tomato sauce was okay but not worth 9 euros. AND the portions are very small compared to the salty prices! May fool tourists used to Olive Garden.

    Great family owned small place with homemade pasta. You will not find here the same sauces everyday, so keep that in mind. They have 2-3 sauces daily.

    Best pasta place in Milan. Pasta and sauce are homemade. Venue is quaint. Few chairs. Very homey. Owners are very friendly and accommodating. Everyday, the menu changes. You pick a pasta and match it with a sauce. A plate of pasta can cost 8-10 EUR. Very worth it. There's an English and an Italian menu, and the one taking orders can speak English. ;)

    Really delicious, hand-made pasta! I will come back asap! Really recommend! Ravioli with spinach and pasta with gorgonzola-heaven in mouth 🫠💛

  • 5/5 Olivia B. 4 months ago on Google • 38 reviews
    Amazing food. Straight up and simple pasta place with focus on making fresh and delicious pasta. Fantastic value for money and great service. Definitely recommend the Lemon Ravioli and a try on half and half pasta. Not a fancy restaurant but a top level Definitely recommend if you love pasta!

  • 5/5 Marcin M. 9 months ago on Google • 24 reviews
    an ideal place for fans of pasta. Fresh products that can be tasted on the spot and this is the perfect idea. Ravioli, Bolognese Mega👍. I recommend!!!

  • 5/5 Michal M. 5 months ago on Google • 16 reviews
    Home made pasta! Menu is very simple and contains 6-7 kinds of sauce but believe me, you won't be dissapointed! Everything is freshly made and absolutely delicious!

  • 5/5 Laura Viviana Goyes N. 3 months ago on Google • 13 reviews New
    Food was glorious and they were very kind. We tried three different options, they were perfect. Everything was delicious, thank you 😍

  • 5/5 Kübra 7 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    We received a recommendation from a local, and I must admit that the taste made us eagerly anticipate dining here all day. 🤤 We tried the Tagliatelle with tomato and basil, as well as the one with pesto made from black olives and almonds. The restaurant has limited seating capacity inside, but there are also tables available outside. Expect around a 20-25 minute wait, depending on what you’ve ordered. Everything is acceptable because the pastas are handmade and delicious. 😋🍝 Getting there is straightforward; you can either walk from the center on foot, which takes approximately 30-35 minutes (what we did and would recommend), or you could take the tram for about 20 minutes. Voila! Enjoy your meal! 🍽️

    Amazing food. Straight up and simple pasta place with focus on making fresh and delicious pasta. Fairly priced also and very friendly. The ravioli had lemon in it and was incredible. Black olive tagliolini was great and the garlic oil and red chilli was even better. Really recommend. Not a fancy restaurant but a top level eatery

  • 5/5 Zafarali Ahmed (. 10 months ago on Google
    A place to try fresh pasta with a variety of sauces. They have a “half and half” option that lets you try two different pasta/sauce combos in one plate which is great for sharing. Absolute delicious and definitely worth visiting when in Naviglio.

  • 5/5 Rebecca S. 2 years ago on Google
    I highly recommend this place! Very tasty fresh pasta and friendly staff. It’s a small place but nice ambiente.

  • 4/5 Jas L. 4 years ago on Google
    A small and cosy pasta place visited by locals. I liked that this place serves fresh pasta. Ravioli with butter was good! Rigatoni with cheese lacked texture and was a little salty.

  • 4/5 Shayna T. 4 years ago on Google
    Not too busy when I arrived 15 mins after opening. Prompt service Tasty tagliatelle For only 9 euro. Perfect if on a budget. Got an unhappy look from the server when paying up as all I had was a 50 euro note (but that’s the smallest denomination I was able to retrieve from the ATM). So bring smaller bank notes if you’re also coming within their first hour of opening. I don’t believe they take card

  • 5/5 Sreoshee R. 4 years ago on Google
    The best pasta I've ever had! The trick is simplicity. In restaurants, there are always too many choices and ingredients forming complicated pasta dishes. Here you have a couple of different kinds of fresh pasta with few choices of home-made sauce and the result is incredible. The hosts are lovely. Just remember that you have to queue in order to get in and that you can't expect restaurant type service.

  • 5/5 Victor S. 4 years ago on Google
    You would definitely ask for 2nd portion here! Must visit!

    Amazing fresh pasta shop where you can try their produce. It is a simple place but with friendly staff and great food. Highly recommend the spinach ravioli and pomodoro tagliolini.

  • 5/5 Kenneth R. 1 year ago on Google
    This was the best fresh pasta I’ve ever had in my life. I usually don’t post reviews but I still regret not getting my second entree from this place.

  • 4/5 Dr. E. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice people, good service and food quality (So generous in Parmesan cheese). However, the outside environment and furniture were uncomfortable and could be improved

  • 5/5 Letícia R. 2 years ago on Google
    the best pasta I've ever eaten in my life!!

  • 5/5 Anna M. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic pasta in an inconspicuous place. Very good quality of food at low prices. Home atmosphere and very friendly service. When visiting Milan we will definitely come back there.

  • 5/5 West P. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing!!! The pasta was so delicious and reasonably priced. The woman serving us was very kind and attentive too. I'll definitely come back. ❤️

  • 5/5 Vladislava V. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place, where you find only pasta to eat. But what else needed if you enter to pasta shop? Small place in a nice area, very delicious fresh pasta and friendly personnel. Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Jakub B. 1 year ago on Google

    This place is such a gem. Super fresh pasta. Super delicious sauces. All super well cooked and presented. Small intimate place that is a must for anyone who just wants to eat some amazing pasta. I highly recommend a visit.

  • 5/5 Bieta S. 4 years ago on Google
    Super cute place and great pasta! We had ravioli and tagliatelle. Both were great!!! Everything is super fresh and homemade. The price is reasonable and the size of portion is wooow! We couldn’t finish all. The woman working there (I guess it is her Restaurant) is so nice. Reservation is not possible I guess. You just go there and with a Little bit of luck there will be a table free. If not you don’t have to wait that long. I highly recommend this place if you love pasta!

  • 5/5 Galyna K. 2 years ago on Google
    In comparison with all other Navigli restaurants this one has unbelievably tasty pasta dishes at a low price. Ravioli portions are small though. Very tasty but non enough even if you order double portion. In general It is Good value for money.
