Fresh Gourmet Pasta,
Made in Chicago
Pasta by Val is a small-batch pasta kitchen based in Chicago, bringing you fresh handmade pasta and artisan sauces that you simply can’t find on a grocery store shelf. Every shape is hand-rolled in small batches — never extruded by machine, never frozen before it reaches you.
Our pasta lineup rotates seasonally, featuring classic semolina cuts alongside vibrant infused varieties like our signature Beet Pasta — made with real roasted beets for a stunning ruby-red color and earthy, natural flavor. Pair them with any of our house-made sauces for a complete, restaurant-quality meal at home.
Whether you’re a Chicago local shopping at one of our farmers’ markets, ordering for pickup, or exploring our online shop — you’ll taste the difference that fresh, handmade pasta makes.
