Primo Grano chitarra pasta, a sort of flat spaghetti-like noodle, is a favorite among staffers at Murray’s in New York City. We love it, too: The pasta is nutty, yeasty, and just textured enough to really hold on to your best homemade sauces.

Why We Love It

Tony Bourdain and Alice Waters both love Murray's Cheese. Thanks to Murray's famous cheese caves, where an affineur (a procedure specialist) brushes wheels with wines and beers, turns them, and wraps them in various leaves. The result? Some of the best cheese in the country. With these extremely high standards, Murray's selects some of the best epicurean specialties. Including pasta made by artisan, Gianluigi Peduzzi of Rustichella d'Abruzzo, whom mimics the same process used by his grandfather in 1924. Peduzzi plucks local durum wheat strains from the Tavo River valley in Abruzzo for his exquisite pasta. This craftsmanship makes it a favorite of Murray's staffers.
