The Phoenix Pastificio

Made a purchase at their "window" (actually a door) location next to Hidden Cafe in Strawberry Creek Park. For any mushroom lovers out there, you must try the wild mushroom ravioli. It is phenomenal. I paired it with a basil pesto sauce but I think a dash of butter or olive oil would also do the trick. The mushroom flavor is truly out of this world.

One of my favorite pasta proprietors now has a physical location just off or Hopkins St near many other wonderful local shops. The Phoenix Pastificio has the most delicious fresh pastas, including their unique Meyer lemon pasta, and delicious handmade raviolis.

what a nice discovery. everything we bought was fantastico. friendly staff. a presto

I used to buy their raviola and stopped, but will start again. I've bought its basil and arugula pesto for close to ten years. It's much better, and no more expensive than the pesto I've bought at grocery stores.

Besides their wonderful pastas and sauces, they make incredible, inventive pizza using their olive bread for the crust. The various combos are terrific -- but their pizzas tend to be heavy on toppings, and they aren't well "glued" to the crust by the small amount of cheese. So we always end up with vegetables in our laps. Maybe they could embed the veggies rather than have them sitting on top? With that one change, these pizzas would be perfect!
