Pastificio Gentile Vesuvio

You can find some of the best pasta in the world in the heart of Campania, in the region known as Gragnano, which is perched between Monti Lattari and the Amalfi Coast, not far from the city of Napoli.

Here, Pastaficio Gentile has been making some of the highest quality pastas since 1876, using only Italian wheat, including the prestigious Senatore Capelli variety which is renowned for cooking to al-dente perfection.

Vesuvio is the pasta homage to the famed volcanic eruption of the first century. Its distinctive plume makes it a perfect accompaniment to hearty sauces and ragus.
