Spring is a time of transition and change.  At Pasta Tavola that means trying something different, changing it up and introducing new products in our store. Starting this spring, Pasta Tavola will be working with many local producers and suppliers to offer our customers more convenience, more meal options and of course, more delicious food—because let’s face it…food should taste good!

Here’s what’s in store in the next few months:

• This Easter Pasta Tavola continues to roll-out traditional holiday treats, including our Nonna’s Easter Bread and cannoli, but this year we’ve partnered with our friends at Sweet Temptations Bakery in Tweed to help us out with homemade pastries and desserts.  Sweets by Guselle and Jodi are quite literally to- die- for so how could we not share them with our customers?  We’ll have tarts,  cookies and more, all expertly handcrafted to perfection starting next week.

• Many of our customers have been enjoying Pasta Tavola’s gluten-free pastas and sauces but did you know that we offer MORE than just gluten-free pasta? Not only do we carry gluten-free bread and pizza crusts courtesy of Zia Rita’s Gluten-Free Bakery in Bath but this Easter we will also be the exclusive Belleville retailer of Deelish Desserts pound cakes.  Many of you may have tried these incredibly tasty gluten-free treats at the Belleville Farmer’s Market a few seasons back.  Now you can purchase Deelish at Pasta Tavola!

• Pasta Tavola is all about making cooking easy and delicious in this crazy, busy world.  While we will always offer our traditional pasta dishes and sauces, we’re adding to our menu with homemade quiches, new dips & spreads, and an assortment of other lighter fare goods.  Our quiches will be here for Easter but you’ll have to hold out for our summer menu blog for the details on what’s coming out next.

Pasta Tavola is always interested in what you would like to see in our store.  As we continue to grow and evolve, we want to meet our customers’ demands for local, convenient, handcrafted food items by bringing them into our shop.  Is there a food item or product that you’ve tried and would like to see at Pasta Tavola?  Let us know about it by e-mailing us at info@pastatavola.ca and we’ll see if we can make it happen!
On that note, Pasta Tavola has received some requests for Limestone Organic Creamery milk.  Limestone Organic Creamery is one of our wholesale partners located in Sydenham.  Is this a product you would purchase?  Please let us know as your input will help us make our decision! E-mail us or contact us on facebook or twitter.

One last thing…  Pasta Tavola is looking for a driver on a casual/part-time basis to deliver our products from Belleville to Ottawa in our refrigerated cube truck.  This is an ideal job for someone who is retired, wants to keep healthy and would enjoy driving around Eastern Ontario meeting great people and dropping-in on some fabulous specialty food stores.  Please contact us for details and requirements!
