"There are usually around six pastas to choose from: buttery mezzalunas filled with ricotta, tiny gnocchetti in zucchini crema, and ricotta-filled tortellini in butter with anchovies and toasted walnuts. If you see their lasagna on the menu, always order it. They switch out the pastas a lot. But the cavatelli is always available for a reason. It’s so good, and they sell it at the market section of their sister restaurant, Bar Bucce, in Little River. In the summer, Macchialina does Pasta Tuesdays, where all pastas are just $19 from 9-11pm." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
