Finalmente, we have our own bite of Little Italy, in Tin City no less, and it's as authentically Italian as Lidia Bastianich's red sauce—so right on, in fact, that people whose favorite food is pasta need to make Etto Pastificio a weekly stop if it isn't already.

On Saturday, June 29, Etto is toasting their one-year anniversary. They definitely have reason to celebrate. They are the only pastificio in the county. They are also the only pasta factory out of only a few in California (and correct me if I'm wrong) that use organic durum semolina.
