Who should go: Home cooks and pasta lovers willing to boil their own.
When to visit: Daytime hours, especially weekends before popular shapes sell out.

Insider tip: Ask staff to cut fettuccine to your preferred width and freeze your pasta in portions so one purchase stretches over multiple budget-friendly meals.
