Your kitchen will be covered in a layer of flour for weeks. Enter Da Tortellino... This little shop is a one-woman show -- let's hear it for supporting a small, female-owned business! It's located about half way between Vicenza and Caldogno, the perfect spot for us as we pass it at least twice a day. We love stopping in to see what is available as it changes daily. We've had fresh pumpkin tortellino, ricotta and mortadella ravioli, tagliatelle, macaroni... And, everything we've had has been absolutely perfect! Prices can't be beat, either! We usually get enough pasta for 2 people for a couple meals and we've never spent more than €15. She also carries a small offering of accompaniments such as quail ragu (delish!), wine, oil and vinegar, etc. So you could easily pick up everything you need for a great meal at home.

Now this is what we have been looking for! When we moved to Italy my wife said we will surely have…read morea little fresh pasta shop in our town so I was really excited about that. Well we have been here a few months and had yet to find it, enter Da Tortellino, translation "from Tortellino". Don't we all wish we were from Tortellino! I know I do! Number one favorite thing about this place is the lady making the pasta is the lady selling you the pasta. The Tortellino she makes are second to none, no wonder she named the place after them. I am so excited to go here as much as I can. For those of you who don't know, fresh pasta is nothing like the box stuff, it is just completely new and wonderful. Be sure to go here, this lady is working hard! Also, If you need a place to crash while visiting, we are just down the street! :)

Once you purchase from their counter, there is no further service from them. It's help your self to a table outside. Be sure to think about that before you order! They offer to go for this reason. Overall, the experience was great- I found my table and happily ate outside.

We got two more to go. I will dream of this place for weeks to come!!

The restaurant uses fresh fish from Lake Garda in creative pasta dishes. The flavours were incredible.

When we come back to the area, we'll be sure to eat here again.

I found this hidden gem on Yelp when I was looking for a quick bite before my Last Supper…read morereservation. We walked up to this tiny location to find one table for two available. We were provided menus that were quite simple. Two types of pasta were available (long or short) and they were able to be prepared a few different ways. I had the long pasta which resembled Alfredo noodles with black pepper and parmesan cheese. The dish was simple and the pasta was fresh. They offer a short list of beer and wine to compliment the pasta. During my time there I saw many people attempting to get in but the place was full. Several parties waited to get a seat. The service was good, the food came out quick and was exactly what I needed before my reservation. The food was also inexpensive. I noticed a disclaimer when I exited that this location is "not a restaurant" but serves a sampling of a larger restaurant. 4.5 stars!

I was a bit hesitant seeing the line, but it was fast moving and worth it…read more It's a fairly small restaurant, with half the seating around one giant table. It's not a place you'll linger over a leisurely meal. But the food is terrific. The menu is split between classics and creative takes, it was great to share and sample from several. There are certainly more "authentic" places you could go (even though this one has been around for decades); a dinner place in Italy whose kitchen closes at 8 raises an eyebrow. But it's a great experience as a visitor and inviting.

The owner had the sweetest smile, was warm and friendly, and even remembered my name from day 1 (yes, I went multiple days!). In all honesty I don't care much for lasagna in the states. However, the green lasagna was the highlight, and paired with the tortellini en brodo...Aaahh! I'm missing it so much right now! It'll forever be a stop I have to make when I'm Bologna, and I hope to see the owner each and every time. Also note that the address on Yelp isn't exact but close enough-don't give up, it's there!

It's a tiny pasta shop that opens early in the morning and is run by a super nice guy named Luca. I was surprised there weren't more reviews of this place. We were taking pictures of the sign outside (like obnoxious American tourists), and he invited us to go inside to try his tortellini (wonderful beef and parmigiano filling). We noticed a small table inside, and it turns out you can do a private degustation for €25 per person - we were able to get a reservation for the following day for lunch (Saturday in November). I'm glad Netflix brought well deserved attention to Luca's shop!

They invited us to join the next day and wow are we eternally grateful. Stepping in to Boutique del Tortellino is like stepping into the apartment of an old friend and sitting down at their kitchen table for an incomparable meal and experience. We have had a few excellent meals while traveling through Italy including Osteria Francescana and, without taking anything away from any other restaurant, I can say that this was far and away the best. When we left we weren't even a block away before three out of the four of us were crying happy tears. We talked for over an hour about our experience before even getting to the topic of the food. But then there's the food, of course. We were served the best bowl of pasta I've ever had in my entire life. Every dish and bottle of wine was full of flavor, passion and a big burst of humanity at its finest. If you have the opportunity to stop by for lunch or dinner I can't recommend enough. We'll be fondly reminiscing about this meal for decades to come.
