Sanpietrini is a distinctive type of Italian pasta shaped like small, square cobblestones, resembling the paving stones found in the streets of Rome. The name "sanpietrini" comes from these iconic stones, giving the pasta a robust and rustic appearance. Its shape provides a substantial surface area, making it ideal for holding rich and hearty sauces. Perfect for both traditional Italian recipes and creative, modern dishes, offering texture and a satisfying bite.

Our house brand, Bottega Ditalia, organic Italian pasta is made by Pastificio Marella which is located in the heart of Puglia (the old Magna Grecia) in the province of Bari in the "heel" of Italy. Marella, an entirely family run company, is renowned throughout Italy as one the finest producers of traditional Apulian handmade pastas. While industrial pasta factories use a more resistant Teflon-coated steel die, pastas produced at the Marella Factory, or "Pastificio Marella", are extruded through a bronze die, giving the pasta a rough texture to better hold sauce. The pasta is dried slowly at a low temperature for three to four days, yielding a uniquely flavored pasta that expands when cooked. The result is a wonderful aroma and texture superior to rivaled artisan and handmade pastas.
