Story

The birth of the pasta masters

Makaronitehdas was born out of a dream of an atmospheric pasta restaurant, where all the food is made fresh in the restaurant, the service is outstanding and customers want to linger for long and enjoy the ambience. We decided to make this dream come true and started planning for the pasta restaurant of our dreams. After one year’s detailed planning Makaronitehdas started its journey in Hanko, in the eastern harbour, and became an instant success already in its first summer of opening. The word spread about our freshly made pasta, delicious antipasti and mouth-watering desserts, and our downstairs Vinoteca and sunny Champagne Lounge Terrace were filled with happy customers.

We have also paid special attention to our sparkling wine and champagne collection, and many of our customers enjoy a glass of bubbles along with their pasta.

In the coming years we plan to open more Makaronitehdas restaurants in many new places – follow us on Instagram and Facebook to stay up to date with our new openings!

The makers of Makaronitehdas

It all starts with the pasta chef

At Makaronitehdas we are superbly proud of our talented people. Our pasta chefs make fresh pasta daily, using two ingredients: Italian durum wheat flour and Finnish organic eggs.  The golden-coloured durum is harder than normal wheat, and therefore more suitable for cooking. To ensure the perfect constitution of the cooked pasta we use organic eggs, and cook our pasta al dente.

The heart of all Makaronitehdas kitchens is our large Italian pasta-making machine, with its bronze processing blades which are used to make all our differently shaped pasta delicacies. The pasta machine is placed in a central position so that our customers can also follow the pasta being made.  We use the best quality tomatoes, olives, mushrooms, lamb and of course plenty of fresh parmesan. We let our sauces stew for a long time, and they get their flavour from our high quality ingredients and fresh herbs. We also prepare our own recipe fresh sausages in our kitchens, and these sausages are used for our sausage pasta.

In addition to the many food options on our delicious menu, our customers can also take a little bit of Makaronitehdas home with them, as we have fresh pasta and take way availability.
