Holy cow! Such a better noodle than the common blue box brand available in the US. The sauce clung to the noodle because of it surface texture. 🥰 None of the noodles fell apart. It's the best priced noodle made with the old time methods. We are switching to this brand and I think everyone should!

I love this product SO much! When I don’t have time to make pasta from scratch, I want a good quality pasta that doesn’t contain ingredients I can’t understand. This is my dried pasta of choice. It does not contain eggs, which is great for folks allergic to eggs. The dried pasta has a texture unlike other brands. Other brands have a smooth texture to their dried pastas, which sauce slides right off of when cooked. I find sauce sticks to De Cecco pastas much better. De Cecco is made in Italy, which means it will not contain any GMO ingredients. It is a healthier choice. I find that I eat less and remain full longer with this pasta. It’s delicious!

Good price, nice thickness, decent quality spaghetti noodles. Tastes as expected with no complaints. Got the dinner done. Would order again!

I am looking forward to trying this spaghetti, which I am told is of higher quality and more authentic than most brands sold in the US and yet has a reasonable price. So far at least, there is no complaint about the product. Rather, my problem, which is quite serious, is the way Amazon shipped it. Why would anyone think pasta could be shipped in a bag? Isn't it obvious that this is one kind of product that is very likely damaged unless it is shipped in a box? Each one of the five one-pound packages of pasta arrived damaged.

Great tasting pasta that the sauce clings to.

Seriously—this is hands down the best pasta I’ve ever had. As a devoted pasta lover with over 50 years of experience (including making my own from scratch), I’ve tried countless brands. This one truly exceeded my expectations. Every time I serve it, people ask, “What brand is this??” It’s that good. A quick tip for fellow pasta enthusiasts: don’t overcook it. This pasta has a wonderfully firm texture when cooked correctly, but if it’s overdone, it becomes overly dense. I’ve tried freezing it after cooking, and while it’s still edible, the texture gets a bit too thick and loses some of its original appeal. For the best experience, cook only what you need and follow the package directions closely—trust me, it makes a difference. One more thing I appreciate is how beautifully this pasta holds onto sauce. Whether it’s a light olive oil blend or a hearty ragu, it clings perfectly, making each bite rich and flavorful. If you’re serious about pasta, this might just become your new favorite too.
