De Cecco Acini Di Pepe No. 78 Pasta, 16 Oz, Authentic, Slow Dried, Made with Semolina and Durum Wheat, Versatile Pasta for Sauces & Recipes, Made in Italy

It's so hard to find Acini De Pepe in grocery stores these days and I can't always get to a proper Italian Importer. Thank you so much for offering this. I sure miss the convenience of NYC where this was everywhere and I didn't have to seek it out, but am so glad Amazon is carrying this quality brand. Beautiful texture and perfect size. I've made Pastina twice already. Yummy. Thank You.

A great addition to my soup. Tasty,soft and easy to cook.Good value for tye price

Love this pasta...perfect for wedding soup!

I've tried other common brands you'll find at your supermarket but they're no equal with their bland flavor and sometimes indigestibility. I have used De Cecco pasta for years and can confidently say there is a difference. When cooked as instructed on the package(s) you will have al dente perfection and a perfect rustic, nutty flavor due to the high quality flours used to make it and the slow drying method used by De Cecco.

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.

Absolutely delicious in any recipe.

This pasta is great for pastina! I only knocked off a star because shipping is a gamble since 1/3 of the boxes end up crushed and spilled everywhere. The box itself is pretty flimsy so it’s not amazons fault. Worth a try!

I love how I can easily locate items on Amazon.com that are hard to find in-store and at other online stores. I needed Acini Di Pepe for my homemade Italian wedding soup. I didn't want a cheap brand, but I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg for little pasta balls either lol. It was my luck that I found Acini Di Pepe scrolling on Amazon and came across a brand I love, De Cecco! The taste is perfectly al dente, and the price is very affordable. I would definitely recommend this brand to anyone looking for delicious Acini Di Pepe that won't easily overcook. It arrived the next day. I even decided to stock up and buy 6 boxes because I love to make Italian wedding soup year round.
