Chitarra Pasta Maker (Made in Italy)
The chitarra (pronounced key-tahr-rah) is a traditional wooden pasta maker dating back to the 1800s, originating in Chieti in Italy’s Abruzzo region. Named for its resemblance to a guitar, the chitarra looks like a double-sided harp, strung with parallel wires that cut pasta cleanly as the dough is pressed through.

Simple, intuitive, and deeply satisfying to use, this tool produces beautifully textured pasta with a rustic, handmade feel — the kind you can’t get from rollers alone.

How to use:
Roll pasta dough flat, then use a rolling pin to press it through the wires. The slanted center board allows the cut pasta to slide off easily. Flip the chitarra to choose your cut:

  • Angel hair: ~3 mm

  • Fettuccine: ~5 mm

Care:
Hand wash only

Details:

  • Double-sided wooden frame

  • Natural wood construction

  • Made in Italy

Best used for:
Angel hair, fettuccine, and rustic handmade pasta

A beautiful, old-world tool for pasta lovers who enjoy slowing down and doing things the traditional way.
