Italian cuisine has one thing that few cuisines in the world can boast: if its recipes are well done, they are unrivaled. Besides pizza, fresh pasta is one of the most appreciated dishes in Italy and abroad. But is it possible to eat good fresh pasta in Valencia?
The answer is a clear “yes” and below we give you 6 places where you can try it. Each one with its why and the dish you have to order if you visit.
The Alchemist
In a tiny space, in the heart of the Ruzafa neighborhood, wonders can be done. This restaurant serves the most classic recipes of Italian cuisine like no one else. Like the Valencians who eat directly from the paella, here they put on the table the frying pan where the sauce and fresh pasta have been cooked. For you to enjoy as if you were at home. Carrer de Lluís de Santàngel, 1.
Osteria Vino e Cucina
Also in the Ruzafa neighborhood you will find two things: one of the best tiramisu in town and one of the best carbonara sauces. With homemade pasta, as tradition dictates. Carrer dels Tomasos, 20.
The Pentola
Because in this osteria of Benimaclet they elaborate every day their own fresh pasta, the specialty and base of their menu. We recommend their wild boar ravioli in red wine sauce and polenta leaves. Street Vicente Barrera Cambra, s/n.
Anomalous
Because it combines the best of Mediterranean and Italian modernity and tradition. If you come, you have to try their gnocchi with 4 cheese sauce. Calle de la Cruz, 4.
La Pappardella
Because it is one of the most visited Italian restaurants in Valencia and that will be for something. We recommend any of their three tortelloni dishes, homemade daily. 6 Bordadores Street.
Il Rosso
It is one of the trendy Italian restaurants in Valencia (you have one in Ruzafa and another in Benimaclet) and one of its specialties are fresh pasta pans. They only have one, but it more than delivers. It is tortellini with spinach and ricotta and panzerotti stuffed with boletus.
