Pastificio Inc in Highwood - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great family business. Delicious Northern Italy food for takeaway.

If you're looking to buy some of the best fresh/dried pasta on the North Shore to cook at home, this is your spot. The only problem is once you have it, it's impossible to go back to store-bought dried pasta. They have a ton of different varieties that they sell by the pound. They'll also put it together into a really cute gift bag if you want a fun present for a friend. In addition to the dried pasta that they make in-house, they have probably around a hundred prepared frozen dishes in their freezer ready to take home and warm up, again all made in-house, as well as homemade frozen pizzas that are equally fantastic. This is a true gem, family run, and you can tell everything they do is done with love. There's nothing else like it around.

I have yet to go inside, but I walk by everyday on the route I walk my dog. The smell is absolute heaven. I want to wrap myself in it. It is drool worthy every day I smell it.

Bought some homemade egg fettuccine and it was delicious. Great service and friendly staff, not to mention a cute little shop with easy parking.

Lots of great frozen homemade Italian meals! People working there were extremely helpful/friendly

When I enter into Pastificio I immediately feel like family, the way the shop is set up and the way they greet you when you walk in, great atmosphere. Truly bringing Italy to Highwood. The best Italian food in the Lake County Area, Freshly made pastas, great sauce, and dishes ready to go in the oven.

The homemade tortellacci and meat sauce are both outstanding! It's that true northern Italian taste I love.

If you want fresh pasta, this is the place, period.

The pasta here is perfect. We ordered ahead and everything was made fresh that day. You can come in and buy from the coolers. Everything is hand made and delicious. If ordering the staff is so helpful in figuring out portions. Everyone is winderful.

Oh my goodness. Wanted to treat my husband to lasagna for his birthday. I searched for carry out and after reading stellar reviews decided on a whim to try this. If you want fresh pasta that melts in your mouth, this establishment does everything right. The meat lasagna was heaven. We’ve tasted nothing better - ever! Easy to heat in oven at home! Chose a superb chicken with capers and a lemon/wine sauce. Outstanding. We chose a few other items to serve for a family party this weekend. From customer service to extensive choices, we can’t wait to share this gem with others who appreciate delicious Italian cuisine. You won’t be disappointed!

The pasta here is freshly made. The sauces are the best. The food they prepare here is sensational. Make sure you have room in your freezer and refrigerator to bring their food home!

There is nothing better anywhere than food from Pastificio. Wow! Soooo good! Truly one of a kind. Handmade pastas, sauces, dinners... all melt in your mouth. Simply the best Italian food....Hands down! Mic drop good! The sauces here are liquid gold!!! Service is spot on and very friendly! Highwood is lucky to have Pastificio! Thank you Jay

This is an amazing Italian food place. And the food is certainly unique. There are lots of gluten free options, and there is a wide variety of foods that are perfect for a vegetarian diet.

Wonderful pasta. Hand-made with the proper ingredients.

Fresher pasta then even your grandma could make... Long time staple of Highwood history.

Always a wonderful place to shop and delicious food I like that

I stopped in earlier in the morning to find some pasta since most places don't have pasta before 11 they didn't have anything in their Buffet setup they had stuff in the Frozen area but I cooked it and it wasn't all that great it was pretty average that cheese tortellini I got don't know if it's worth all the effort it takes to make it sauce is kind of basic even though I like Italian sauces from Italy when I'm in Italy besides kind of was so simple act any kind of flavor

Aside from homemade pasta's and fresh/frozen dinners and appetizers, they make the best fresh/frozen soups in the area. But everybody knows that already, so no need to even write a review. My faves are the chicken noodle and the bean soup with pasta. Small ones great for bringing to work. Also recommend the chicken stuffed with wild rice.

Best pasta! Best entrees! Best service, like going to grandma's!

A little hidden gem. Love their pasta.

Love it! Lots of vegetarian options

Yum, yum, yum, yum. Can never get enough

First, this is not a restaurant. It is a Northern Italian take out shop, family owned by the same family for 40 years. Everything is made by hand. There is a huge variety of fresh dried pastas, better than any boxed pasta you will ever taste. They are known for their absolutely delicious lasagna (several varieties), chicken and veal dishes, well the list goes on. The number of loyal customers (some since the day they opened) is huge! There is a deli filled with prepared foods for your dinners Tuesday through Friday. On Saturday there is a take out buffet from 10:30am to 1:00pm with hot foods and great salads. I can't say enough good things about them...you see, I was a customer for several years, and now I am lucky to be a member of the staff! Please stop in to see this hidden treasure. We are located on Highwood Ave. between the Highwood library and post office.

Amazing customer service and outstanding food. When you come here you are family.

Pastificio sells the BEST, and FRESHEST pasta in town! I can't emphasize enough the difference between their handmade pasta and the absolute garbage you could potentially buy ANYWHERE else. Their pasta has been an epiphany. It's been an eye-opening, mouth-watering experience. I just cannot go back to "store-bought" boxed pasta. They have a lot of delicious sweets as well, and I heard they do large catering work. I would trust them with any event.

Both great food and service! Recomend this to anyone who wants food. Ever.

Este es mi sitio al que ir cuando necesite cenas que son caseras y saludables y que puede mantenerlos en el congelador para el futuro. La hacen ellos en varios tamaños, incluyendo habitaciones individuales de servicio.

podríamos llamarlo un "tomar y hornear" La pasta era excelente pero la espinacas lasaña era caro para lo que era.

Me encanta Pastaficio. La ofrenda es italiana del norte. Todo es fresco, sin conservantes y ingredientes de la más alta calidad. descubrí hace años de Pastaficio. Soy italiano y creció con mi abuela y mi tía haciendo todas nuestras comidas. La idea de comer italiano era una idea fanfarria. No obstante, como una madre que funciona mi tiempo es limitado y resulta que no soy el cocinero que mi abuela era! Luego descubrí Pastaficio. Yo quería que mis hijos/familia para comidas de alta calidad que eran nutritivos, delicioso, abundante y relativamente fácil de hacer. Me todo un éxito. Aquí están mis (y mi familia) favoritos: carne o lasaña meatless (receta italiana del norte y DELICIOSO), pollo y ternera parmesana, italiano carne, pastas frescas, pollo licitaciones. Como mis hijos creció y se convirtió en fuertemente involucrados en deportes me abastecido en la carne y pan italiano italiano hasta tarde en la noche "snacks". A mis hijos les encantó! muy abundante y sabroso seriamente. En última instancia, sabía que mi familia estaba comiendo deliciosa y saludable comida, les gustaba sus comidas y nunca me sentí culpable por un minuto que me había comprado "preparada" comida. (yo no comprar supermercado alimentos preparados nacionales.) de marca Patty, el dueño es encantador, amable, servicial y siempre mantiene buenas conversaciones con selecciones. La tienda es pequeña, con una gran cocina en la parte trasera del edificio. Esto no es una sentarse restaurante - es una tienda que vende comida italiana fresca, con un a-go almuerzo buffet y una gran selección de entrantes y lados congelado (genial para comprar provisiones para cenas familiares). También atendemos. que completan la oferta de comida con una buena selección de postres, vinos italianos, aceites de oliva italianos, vinagres, ingredientes variados y otros artículos importados de especialidad. Este ha sido un importante recurso para mí. Me visita cada 4-6 semanas y abastecerse para el mes. Muy recomendable.

nuevamente con los hallazgos maravillosos durante los festivales de Highwood! Las selecciones de pasta son increíbles, fresco y delicioso! La tienda es un pequeño mercado de alimentos frescos, congelados y minoristas artículos. No tengo mucho que decir aparte de ir, comer y disfrutar, no creo que te decepcionará!
