Handmade pasta, gourmet groceries, wine, & sandwiches; cooking classes


























"Yes, this Somerville shop slings fresh pasta and other specialty grocery items. But don’t sleep on the sandwiches, which are almost too good for a place with just “pasta” in the name. Check out the daily specials — a recent beauty featured piri piri chicken with a Moroccan cilantro labne yogurt spread — and be sure to try a few of the standards, like the Brazilian Hangover Helper. That sandwich is stacked high with imported mortadella and spicy provolone." - Nathan Tavares

"A short walk from Davis Square, this family-run store has expanded since its founding as a handmade pasta shop back in 1999 to offer a wide selection of gourmet food products and wine by producers from local to afar. For a maximalist gift option, go for the gift basket where the savvy staff picks the best fine foods and wines for you." - Valerie Li Stack

"This Dave’s Fresh Pasta sibling is a full-service establishment offering pasta, pizza, and sandwiches. The vibe is casual and family-friendly, with a menu large enough that everyone can find a dish to their liking." - Valerie Li Stack

"Well-stocked local pasta shop offering fresh and frozen pasta, sandwiches, sauces and pantry items with free local delivery within a two-mile radius of the Davis Square shop and curbside pickup; phone ordering (card payment) is required and deliveries have a $30 minimum." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"Dave’s Fresh Pasta is principally an Italian market where you can get things like fresh pasta (it’s not just a name, folks). But it also has a counter that makes some really good sandwiches, and if you live or work in the area, you should try as much of the menu as possible and pick yourself out a favorite." - Dan Secatore
