There’s something special about seeing handmade pasta in print — especially when it’s made from scratch every day in our kitchen.

Donato & Co. was recently featured in 7x7’s Modern Guide to Elmwood, which calls us a “secret gem” of the neighborhood and highlights Chef Gianluca Guglielmi’s handmade pasta, along with his Italian cooking and Michelin-starred experience.

The beautiful pasta featured in the article? Made right here at Donato & Co. 🍝

Thank you, 7x7, for including us in your guide to Elmwood.
