Did you know that Tortellini is said to have been inspired by Venus’ navel and gnocchi comes from the Italian word nocchio, meaning “a knot in wood?” Farfalle is inspired by the delicate wings of the butterfly. Every pasta is an art of its own!

Our pasta counter is a customer favorite at Cantoro.

We make the largest selection of fresh homemade pastas in metropolitan Detroit, each inspired by every region in Italy. In fact, customers come from miles around to purchase our freshly crafted and cut homemade pastas that include both traditional to harder-to-find varieties.

Every morning, our experienced pasta makers begin their day creating freshly made spaghetti; mozarella cheese stuffed shells; lasagnas, gnocchi and more!

The Cantoro staff is happy to help provide recipes cooking tips – as no pasta types are the same. Come and see the selection for yourself!
