«Naples has refined connoisseurs even for its Pastina.

"Mom, what is Pastina made of?" Children are curious and demanding customers. Their palate and their imagination find natural satisfaction in the 12 varieties of Pastina that the Pastificio Voiello prepares especially for them. Anellini and Anelli rigati, Risi, Fidelini, Stelline, Puntalette, Midolline, Tempestina, Lancette, Farfalline, Pepe grande and Pepe bucato are made with the same semolina and the same care that Voiello dedicates to the pasta "of the adults". Aren't the children also little gourmets? Of course. And then, for your child who can't choose yet, you make the right choice: there is only one mom and also from Voiello.»
