Mezzi Rigatoni by Babbo
Pasta with Architectural Ambition
We have always believed that beautiful things belong together. An 18th-century mirror, a Venetian chandelier, a beautifully made chair… and, apparently, a bowl of excellent pasta. Welcome to the Wildschut Pantry.
This Mezzi Rigatoni by Babbo is made from Senatore Cappelli, a heritage wheat prized for its naturally rich flavour and high fibre content. The grain is milled semi-whole to preserve its character, then dried slowly for over 30 hours. In other words, this is pasta that has been given time to become itself. We approve.
The shorter, ridged tubes are built for serious sauce-catching. They hold a firm al dente bite that refuses to collapse into culinary wallpaper, making them particularly well suited to rich ragù, pasta al forno and roasted vegetables. The wheat brings gentle, nutty notes of its own, while allowing the savoury flavours around it to shine.
About Babbo
Babbo is on a mission to make better Italian food the new standard, bringing food back to its roots through authentic ingredients, sustainable farming and a shorter, more transparent supply chain. They work to connect us with the farmers, grains and traditions behind what we eat, believing that food should be nutritious, honest and, crucially, taste like something. We rather like that approach. It feels familiar!
Why is an antiques dealer selling pasta? Because we like bringing home beautiful things from our travels. And because a pantry, much like a room, deserves a few pieces with character. Babbo understands this instinctively: good ingredients, good design, good stories and a proper respect for where things come from.
Everyday essentials. Extraordinary design. And pasta with excellent structural integrity.

General condition
Please keep in mind that in many cases we sell vintage and antique pieces. None of these pieces should be considered new or in perfect condition.
All of our vintage products show the rich beauty and history of their life with the knocks and bumps of many years of use. We restore our pieces so they will be clean and in a good working condition. However we try to minimise restoration to keep every piece as original as possible.
Photography
The physical object can differ slightly in colour from the object as presented online. We have made every effort to display colours accurately, but cannot guarantee that the pictures accurately reflect the colour of those goods in real life.
