HANDMADE PASTIFICIO
& RESTAURANT
When making pasta with only two ingredients, everything needs to be perfect. We use the very best flour, imported from a family mill in Italy since 1832. They are the last remaining mill to take the extra step of washing the wheat before milling the flour, and we feel their extra care in every batch of dough we make. We buy our tools from true craftsman; from our bronze handmade tools of Sardinia to our wooden boards and rolling pins. We are inspired by the generations of Italian nonnas and mammas who have been pouring their love into this craft.
Our pasta is made fresh daily and served in our restaurant, or available to buy fresh by the pound like at the local pastificios that you find in every Italian town.

RESTAURANT
Tortello is a chef-driven but casual counter service restaurant with everything made in-house. We are committed to simple food, the highest quality ingredients, and the traditions of Italy. We prioritize purveyors who are local and family-owned. Above all, we strive to serve plates of love like nonna does. We have a full Italian bar including wine, beer, cocktails, and espresso.
PASTIFICIO
Like you'll find in every town across Italy, Tortello is also a fresh pasta shop. Fresh pasta is available every day by the pound, plus mealkits and sauces to cook at home. We accept custom pasta requests 48 hours in advance.
You can also find our pasta at grocery stores across Chicago and beyond.
ALIMENTARI
Like Dario’s nonno Alifer who had his own specialty food shop in Venice in the 60s, Tortello has a curated selection of imported wine, oil, honey, salt, and other delicacies, in addition to items like our housemade butter, housemade focaccia, aged parmigiano reggiano & mortadella.
