THE KING OF PASTA®

The King of Pasta (while a name you wouldn’t expect to be 5 stars) was 5 stars!!! The gnocchi was pillowy and fresh and perfect. The pesto was luscious and bright and delicious. Both my dining partner and I were in heaven eating pasta here.

The best pasta we have had in Italy! It is the freshest pasta, made to perfection! If you want to experience how real traditional Italian pasta should taste this is a MUST visit place. Better than any “gourmet” restaurant we have tried. We had a very emotional moment as the taste was exactly how our Italian grandmother/great grandmother used to cook it. The sauces were cooked to perfection and complimented the pasta even more. You can taste the passion in what he does and we LOVE he is keeping the tradition and memory of his grandmother through generations. Congratulations! You truly are the king of pasta! Thank you for this special moment, we will never forget it and hope to visit you again one day!

Valerio is the best!!! If you want to experience what real fresh pasta tastes like, you have to try this place... Took my family there for lunch, we all absolutely loved it!!! Quality and quantity of food, service and friendliness of staff... 10/10 stars!!! Grazie Vale ❤️ non vediamo l'ora di tornare!!!

We are from Hawii looking for really good pasta and found it here in the Mercado! King of Pasta makes fresh pasta and with best sauces! Cacio Pepe excellent as is Cabonna! Our family of 7 loved it ! We call it “Ono” in Hawaiian

We had a lovely time here: after walking around in the warm streets of Livorno, we were seeking a cool place to sit and have lunch at. Forgetting about the fact that a lot of restaurants will close around 14/15, we arrived at around 14 closing time for pasta king but were still welcomed by the chef who made us lovely ragu biancho with taiglatelle (probably i spelled incorrectly 😅). Thank you again!
