Pastificio Giacomo Rizzo, Venice

Pasta, as everyone knows, holds the title of being the most beloved food in Italy. With countless shapes and sizes to choose from-lasagna, penne, spaghetti, tortellini, and the list goes on-pasta has become a culinary icon. Its fame and popularity are so remarkable that you can even find a pasta museum in Rome. In Venice, there is a charming shop where the owner and their family have been handcrafting pasta for over a century. Here, you can indulge in the delightful experience of purchasing colored pasta, made vibrant with spinach or tomatoes. But the true gem of this shop lies in its pasta shaped like gondolas, paying homage to the famed Venetian masterpieces.

Located in one of the most picturesque corners of Venice, this shop offers not only the opportunity to acquire remarkable pasta creations but also a chance to engage in delightful shopping. Explore a range of other authentic Italian food ingredients, including balsamic vinegar and olive oil, ensuring a truly memorable culinary experience.
