\u00a0This is my go to place for fresh pasta and wonderful sauces for a crowd or just a meal for two. \u00a0I cook so I don&#8217;t\u00a0 recommend buying prepared food often but sometimes we run out of time or need a hand when we are serving\u00a0a large group&#8230; this is where I stop. \u00a0The quality, freshness and flavors taste like they came from my own kitchen.\u00a0 The owner Patricia Galli makes you feel welcome and I know she cooks from a special place. \u00a0Serving food, cooking is a wonderful gift to those around you and Patricia embodies that warmth and comfort in her dishes and store.<\/p>\n<p>I have served her matzo ball soup and been asked for my recipe on many occasions&#8230; well this is my secret.\u00a0 The matzo balls are beyond fluffy in a wonderful homemade chicken broth. \u00a0I&#8217;ll add carrots to my pot and serve.\u00a0 Did I mention the lasagna?\u00a0 It&#8217;s another must, a veggie and meat version. \u00a0I cannot leave without buying the veal tortellini and the modenese sauce.\u00a0 I have served my family this combination and an entire high school and college hockey team.\u00a0 If you find yourself in Highwood you must stop at Pastificio!\u00a0 In my conversations with Patricia they are looking to add a rooftop garden so I&#8217;ll be back to visit and share my experience.<\/p>\n<p>I highly recommend Pastificio.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I live near a small town known for its restaurants, nestled between Lake Forest and Highland Park, it&#8217;s Highwood.\u00a0 You will find authentic Italian food as well as other great spots to eat. \u00a0My favorite destination is not a place you stay to eat but a wonderful shop that sells homemade sauces, pasta, entrees, desserts &hellip;<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/?p=886\">Read more <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-places-to-go"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/50"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=886"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":897,"href":"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886\/revisions\/897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
