Nicoletto’s Pasta Co. is a Nashville, Tennessee-based artisan pasta maker and fast-casual Italian restaurant operator. The company specializes in bronze-cut dried pasta produced in small batches, along with prepared sauces and dine-in and takeout Italian comfort food served at its Nicoletto’s Italian Kitchen restaurant locations. The company describes its pasta as “always bronze-cut for maximum texture,” explaining that “more texture means more sauce coverage which means you get the best pasta bowl you’ve ever had, every time.” Its retail pasta is sold online and shipped nationwide, and the company also supplies wholesale and retail orders to shops across the country.
Products
The company’s retail line centers on bronze-cut dried pasta sold by the pound in a range of cuts, including limited-edition spaghetti, kale radiatori, soup noodles, and creste di gallo. Alongside the dried pasta, Nicoletto’s offers prepared sauces for home cooking. Its Nicoletto’s Marinara is a traditional tomato sauce, and its Nicoletto’s Vodka Sauce is described on the site as “a slightly spicy vodka sauce with a smooth texture and a slightly sweet finish,” made “with real heavy cream and perfectly seasoned.” Products are available to order online through the company’s web store and are shipped to customers’ homes. At the company’s Italian Kitchen restaurants, guests can purchase prepared pasta bowls and sauces to-go.
About
Nicoletto’s was founded by brothers Ryan and Danny Nicoletto, who started the company following the death of their father, Tony, to pursue a shared dream of opening an Italian restaurant making everything from scratch. The brothers sourced vintage pasta machines from locations ranging from Illinois to Italy and spent a year perfecting their recipes before opening their first restaurant in East Nashville in 2016. According to the company, its dried-pasta factory has since “tripled in size to accommodate growing wholesale and retail orders from shops and marinara-lovers across the country.” The company emphasizes traditional methods, noting that “Nicoletto’s is always made traditionally: bronze-cut,” and that all of its pastas are “made with premium ingredients.”
