Do I Need a Pasta Machine for My Business?
If fresh, homemade pasta is a big part of your menu, or you want to wow customers with quality and speed—then yes, a pasta machine could be a great move for your kitchen.
But the right machine depends on how much pasta you’ll make, the shapes you want, and how much you’re looking to spend.
Why You Might Fall in Love with Making Pasta In-House
Making your own pasta isn’t just about taste, it’s about telling a story.
From mixing local eggs to experimenting with gluten-free options, making pasta in-house gives you control and that “wow” factor in every plate.
Fresh pasta also tastes incredible—and if that’s part of your brand vibe, the machine doesn’t feel like a luxury; it’s a tool.

How to Choose The Right Pasta Machine: A Quick Guide
Here’s how to figure out what’s right for you—no marketing fluff:
How many pastas do you expect to sell each day?
- Under 30: maybe just a rolling pin + cutter—or a simple tabletop electric.
- 30–150: Things like the Magnifica 120, semi-auto sheeter, or ravioli machine start making sense.
- 150+: You may want Florida extruders or a full combo line like the Magnifica 160.
What shapes do you want?
- Long & flat (spaghetti, tagliatelle): sheeters or extruders.
- Dumpling-style (ravioli, cappelletti, gnocchi): dedicated machines from Aldo Cozzi make these effortless.
How tight is your space and budget?
- Compact kitchens? The tabletop Magnifica 120 or semi-auto sheeters are smart picks.
- Bigger setup? Magnifica 160 and Florida series extruders let you scale up.
Do you want creativity or just volume?
- Want to pivot menu items often? Combo machines offer flexibility.
- Want to focus on efficiency? Gnocchi or ravioli-specific machines deliver fast, specialized results.
