Gusta Penne Rigate Pasta

Made baked penne on a Wednesday when everyone was cranky. Pasta stayed firm under sauce and cheese instead of collapsing. clean plates all around, which is my metric

ok. cooked fine. tasted fine. nothing more.

Fine. It's pasta.

The quality is there but its pasta. I struggle to pay this for pasta on a regular basis.

Decent pasta. Does what pasta should do. Good al dente bite.

Solid pasta. Good quality. Nothing else needed.

Four orders in, quality never dropped. Thats what you want from a pantry staple.

Expected to be wowed. Wasnt. Good pasta but nothing here justified what I paid.

Good pasta but three dollars more than De Cecco which is also very good. Hard to justify that gap regularly.

Paid a premium for pasta. It tasted like pasta. Good pasta yes but still just pasta. I dont get the hype. Wouldnt reorder at this price.

Good pasta. Good.

Solid quality. Good chew. Good sauce behavior. A real upgrade from the grocery store shelf.

I've ordered this four times and the quality has been the same every box. That consistency matters when you're cooking for guests regularly.

Hard to know what the fuss is about. It cooked fine. It tasted fine. I wouldnt know this wasnt Barilla in a blind test to be honest.

Good pasta. Would buy again.

Its better than De Cecco, sure. But at this price point the delta doesnt justify it for everyday cooking. Im not a pasta connoisseur. 2 stars.

Third box. Confirmed. The arrabiata situation in my kitchen is no longer something I am willing to compromise on.

First review: liked it. Second review: really liked it. UPDATE: subscribed. The price per box drops enough on subscription to make this my everyday pasta and that is a life improvement I did not expect to have this year.

At this price I cant use it for Tuesday night pasta. I bought it as a treat. Its good but the price keeps it from being a regular thing for me.

fine pasta, well made, nothing to complain about

I stopped being bored by Tuesday night pasta when I started using this. The sauce situation is genuinely different and the leftover behavior is much better.

We use this for family pasta nights. Kids and adults all happy. No complaints from anyone.

Switched from grocery penne to this about six months ago. Every weeknight pasta dish is better. The sauce coats everything. Leftovers dont fall apart. Kids eat it happily. This is the pasta I will keep buying.

My kids are pasta picky. They left nothing. First time that has happened in years. Something about the texture or the flavor, I dont know, but it worked.

I make pasta twice a week. At this price I cant use this as my everyday pasta. Its fine but it isnt THAT much better than De Cecco for the price difference. 2 stars for value.

Made carbonara last weekend. The pasta flavor came through even under the egg and cheese. Really good.

its fine pasta. al dente, good. but its pasta. hard to get too excited.

Good pasta. Better than what's in most grocery stores. The ridges work.

I never really cared about pasta before. It was a vehicle for sauce. Then I made this and tasted the actual pasta for the first time. The wheaty flavor and the chew are genuinely interesting. I get it now.

The bronze-die surface is not a marketing thing. The sauce actually stays on the pasta. Made vodka sauce with this last week and every piece of penne was coated. No sauce pooling at the bottom of the bowl.

Third box ordered. The arrabiata situation has become a weekly event in this house.

Good pasta, good texture, sauces well. Would buy again and have.

Nice pasta, good al dente result. My family meal pasta nights are better for it.

Very happy with this purchase. Good quality, arrived well packaged, flavor and texture as expected. Reordering.

Good pasta, reordered three times. No complaints.
