Garofalo Toy Shape Organic Italian Baby and Kids Pasta, 500g (Pack of 1)

Since my local Italian delicatessen closed a few years ago, I’ve been unable to buy Ditaloni other than on Amazon. Superb quality; cooks to personal taste / requirements and nice texture once served - great for Pasta e Fagioli (old family recipe). Absolute value for money.

Great pasta for soups, broths etc, couldn’t find in my local supermarket so Amazon to the rescue, thank you

This pasta is like no other in the supermarkets. I have regularly ordered the Rigatoni pasta which ive never found anything to beat it. So decided to order the orzo. Never disappointed

Good, does what it supposes to do.

I've been a fan of Garofalo pasta for a while, and their Ditaloni Rigate did not disappoint. This small, ridged tube pasta is ideal for hearty soups like minestrone or pasta e fagioli. What sets Garofalo apart is the quality—made from 100% durum wheat semolina, the pasta holds its shape beautifully and has a satisfying bite (al dente) when cooked properly. The ridges (rigate) are perfect for holding onto sauces, making every bite flavorful. It cooks evenly, doesn’t turn mushy, and you can really taste the difference compared to supermarket brands. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Italian pasta with excellent texture and flavour.

Good Value

I used to eat this as a child and always called it baby pasta! Great to find it again, love how easy it is to cook, taste just like I remember. Such a great pasta for kids and adults and it’s small and doesn’t involve much chewing.
