Discover Chitarra, Abruzzo’s most famous pasta, known for its square strands and firm, sauce-loving texture.
Named after the “guitar” tool used to cut it, this bronze cut artisan pasta is handcrafted by Pastificio Masciarelli (est. 1867) in Pratola Peligna, one of Italy’s oldest family pasta makers. Made with 100% Italian durum wheat and pure mountain spring water, each batch is slow-dried for up to three days for exceptional flavour and texture. Traditionally paired with rich ragù or tomato-based sauces, Chitarra perfectly represents the authentic taste and craftsmanship of Abruzzo’s pasta-making heritage.
