Perfect for soup and salad
This is my favorite brand for pastina. Great texture and cooks evenly every time. Perfect for Italian wedding soup or even cold pasta salads. High quality pasta that tastes authentic.

Excellent Pasta, Just a Minor Shipping Issue
Quality pasta, very minor shipping issue. The Acini Di Pepe cooked evenly, tasted great, and held up perfectly in soup. My only complaint is that the box arrived ripped open and some pasta spilled into the Amazon box, but customer service refunded me right away. The product is excellent; just wish the packaging was sturdier.

Perfect for Italian Wedding Soup
I was afraid pasta so tiny would cook in about 2 seconds and get instantly mushy, but not at all. It took a normal amount of time to cook and was perfectly al dente, even after the soup sat in the fridge a few days and was then reheated violently in the microwave. Find a suitable strainer before you cook it, as it will go right thru the holes in most strainers. Super fast & easy: the pasta + couple cartons of chicken stock, bag of frozen Italian meatballs (cut into quarters after cooking for smaller meatballs), bag of fresh spinach chopped up, & a few carrots, chopped into small pieces.

My family loves these as a quick family dinner or side. Bought them twice since my local grocery doesn't sell it. Precious tiny pasta, cooks quickly, tasty and great price point

For my Italian wedding soup
Good tasting pasta. Continues to absorb broth for hours after fully cooking. You have been warned.

Nice little pasta
The smallest pasta I've ever seen! I bought specifically for an Italian soup I wanted to try and it turned out perfect! However next time, I won't use as much pasta as I used a little too much (like I always do with pasta 🙈) Good value, quality and I like the texture as well. It was easy to make and cooks very well.
