Our Story
A Dream That Has Been Cooking for Years
Since 1989 Pasta Fresh has been part of the community making fresh pasta for families and the finest restaurants in the Chicago area.
In 1980 Tony and Gino Bartucci built a 2-story strip mall building and dubbed it "Piazza Italia" home to Pasta Fresh.
Pasta Fresh is more than buying Fresh Pasta on Harlem Ave. we bring the old country to you. You can look through the window into the back room and see the how we make ravioli, lasagna, and more. We offer a variety of pasta and sauce options, but also sell fresh panzerotti, arancini, and focaccia.
