OUR STORY
Welcome to Grattini, where every dish tells a story steeped in the rich culinary traditions of Italy. Our name, Grattini, holds a special significance in the world of Italian cuisine, inspired by a cherished practice passed down through generations.
In the quaint villages of Italy, where resourcefulness was a way of life, Italian Nonna's held a time-honored tradition of never letting anything go to waste. In their kitchens, scraps of pasta dough were carefully saved, collected, and transformed into something truly special—the Grattini Pasta. Literally translating to "grated pasta," Grattini Pasta was born from the ingenuity and creativity of these Italian matriarchs. Using a box grater, they would shape the scraps of pasta dough into small bits, reminiscent of pastina pasta. These tiny, flavorful morsels became a beloved addition to soups, stews, and salads, adding texture and depth to every dish.
At Grattini, we pay homage to this humble yet ingenious tradition by incorporating the spirit of Grattini Pasta into our menu. From our handmade pastas to our hearty soups and comforting stews, every dish at Grattini embodies the essence of Italian home cooking—simple, rustic, and bursting with flavor.
Join us at Grattini and experience the magic of Italy, where every meal is a celebration of tradition, ingenuity, and the timeless bond between food and family. Buon appetito!
