There’s a decent chance you’ve eaten Severino pasta -- even if you’ve never visited the shop, which glows like a neon beacon on Haddon Avenue in Westmont. A lot of semolina flour and water are at work here. Severino, whose manufacturing plant in the back runs two shifts a day and whose counter also sells prepared foods, cheeses, and other Italian specialty foods, sells its dry and fresh pasta to hundreds of restaurants.

It has pasta counters in about 70 Whole Foods stores from New England to Florida. It also sells its dry pasta for the retailer, as well as under Whole Foods' 365 label. More recently, Severino opened a counter eatery, dubbed Severino Cucina Rustica, selling pasta dishes and sandwiches at the Whole Foods store near Logan Square in Philadelphia. Severino makes the pasta packaged for Blue Apron, the meal-kit delivery company.
