On World Pasta Day today, we celebrate arguably the greatest culinary export from Italian shores. As one of the most loved and versatile dishes the world over, we offer up a list of restaurants to enjoy pasta in all of its glorious forms! And if this isn’t enough, be sure to check out all the amazing looking pasta dishes on Dishtag! Buon Appetito!
Classic & Comforting
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” There’s a reason why the most popular pasta recipes have remained largely unchanged for centuries. And why should they? There really aren’t many ways to improve on a hearty Bolognese, a silky Vongole or a rustic Tomato Sauce on Pasta. And these restaurants stay true to the traditional roots of Italian cooking to serve up comforting renditions of some Italian classics!
