Handmade Pasta in Phoenix
Rolled, cut and shaped in our Arcadia kitchen every day — from hand-made potato gnocchi to bucatini cacio e pepe.
Nook Kitchen is a scratch kitchen, and pasta is where that shows most. Chef Arturo Garino’s team makes every shape on the dinner menu in-house — tagliatelle, bucatini, linguine, campanelle, rigatoni and potato gnocchi — then finishes it to order with sauces built the same way.
If you’re looking for fresh Italian pasta in Phoenix, these are the plates our regulars come back for. We’re on Indian School Road in Arcadia, a short drive from Biltmore, Camelback East and Old Town Scottsdale.
