    You know, it’s just pasta.

    they look like bronze die pasta.

    so,why not if you can afford them.

  2. Voiello is famous here in Italy, and I like it. I don’t know the other one but maybe in other part of Italy is famous. Here in Tuscany no

    First one is a very common brand in Italy, one of the best, the other is “tourist pasta” you can find in many autogrill in Italy (gas station stores) and it’s overpriced for tourists.

  4. Voiello is good but very very common brand, is sold in almost every shop or supermarket in Italy. If i did the conversion right is priced around 4,35 Euro, normally is sold around 1,3 euro that pack in Italy but considering it’s an import could be a correct pricing (not enough info to tell you if it’s too much or good pricing)

    Never heard the others brand honestly, could be good or just an overpriced option no clue sorry

    Voiello is hands down my favourite pasta in Italy.
    Make sure to follow he cooking time recommended on the package, and enjoy it!
    If you are used to discount/touristy kind of pasta, you’ll discover what pasta really tastes like.

    They are both two high quality brands. I prefer Gragnano, but it’s just a preference: they’re both very good

    Voiello and Gragnano yes! Leagues above De Cecco and Barilla. If you have space in your luggage sure

    I’ve use Fabbrica della Pasta, it’s good.

    I don’t know the others, but Voiello is an excellent brand of pasta.
