About a month ago, Etto visited and shared our pasta with hundreds of attendees at the San Diego Food & Wine Festival. It was gratifying to see how many folks were already familiar with Etto. We also made some new friends and made sure the crowd was well fed. Thanks for those of you who visited and professed your love for Etto pasta. We served our Radiatori pasta with two sauces, beef bolognese and aglio e olio with fried capers. Of course the weather was perfect and we had a great day from our perch on the bay. I want to come back in my next life as a weatherman in San Diego.
On the way back, I made the long drive home and decided to make a couple of stops to break up the trip. Since I own a store, I don't visit many other stores these days, unless I'm scoping out a new Italian deli. I do most of my shopping at Etto and joke that it's my personal pantry. As I visited a few stores in Orange County, I quickly realized the holiday shopping was in full force; at least, retailers were making it seem so. Since we just received many of our Italian Christmas items, I suggested that we begin selling them.
The products that we select for the holidays at Etto are quite special and are typically made by smaller companies in limited quantities, so now is your chance to snag your favorites. Click here for a sneak peak of some of the items. More will be arriving over the next couple weeks. We have also made our gift kits available for shipping. You can peruse the collection here. We've begun packing kits for a few local corporate gifting programs, so if you want to send gifts to a group, please let us know. We look forward to seeing you all soon with lots of holiday cheer.
Here is our Bella Toscana gift box that for $65 features a mix of local and Italian products.
Bought 3gift packs as holiday gifts shipped out & everyone loved them & excited about cooking everything & visiting the restaurant & store when they visit the area.
I think it will become a Christmas Eve tradition! Family raves included delicious
I think it will become a Christmas Eve tradition! Family raves included delicious, melts in your mouth, pasta so thin, amazing, perfect sauce, delicate, light not heavy, and “I don’t feel bloated!” Needless to say, it was a hit. Thank you Etto!
My Aunt and Uncle Etto visited your store a while back
My Aunt and Uncle Etto visited your store a while back. My uncle passed last January and you all were kind enough to send my Aunt some extras with her order for his memorial when she told you her story. She said you were so kind to her as she was crying trying to place the order. My Uncle Etto was an amazing man, and you all helped us celebrate him and I am grateful. As his anniversary is coming I purchased a gift set for my Aunt and she absolutely loved it! Thank you for being kind to your customers ❤️ your kindness was above and beyond. I have the little candies saved with his memorial keepsake.
Ciao Kimberly!
Thank you for such kind words. We remember taking the order and we are happy to be a part of making a difficult time a little bit better for your aunt and your family. We wish you the best.
