Pasta Maker Machine by Imperia- Heavy Duty Steel Construction w Easy Lock Dial and Wood Grip Handle- Model 190

Can't go wrong with Imperia.Simple, robust and effective.Highly recommended, the best ratio price/quality for a 1st step in the home made pasta world.

I actually have quite an extensive set of the Marcato Atlas 150 and enjoy using it quite often. I mix my pasta dough with my KitchenAid mixer and then proceed to make some fantastic pasta. The MilleGnocchi is an attachment for the Imperia machine, which I do not have, so after a little modifications, I have adapted it to fit into the Marcato Atlas machine and it works out great!I have used both hand and electic cavatelli makers in the past so I am familiar with how they operate, and the MilleGnocchi is not very different from them, only better!! After using my KitchenAid sausage stuffer to extrude the pasta dough into a nicely formed 1/2" wide and perfectly fromed "string" I then proceeded to try all three settings of the MilleGnocchi.First, keeping the width of the pasta to (around) 1/2" will ensure that the noodles formed will be the right size and not have any crossover makings from the other settings.Second, feeding the pasta is very easy, but before I did that I springled some regular all-purpose flour into the MilleGnocchi in order to prevent the dough from sticking and jamming. I tried all three settings and the MilleGnocchi produced perfect formed Rigatelli, Gnocchi Sardi and Cavatelli.Third, although it is not a "negative" comment, one limitation of the MilleGnocchi over the other hand or electric units is the limitation on the size, due to the multi-setting of the three different types of shaped pasta that this unit can make. HOWEVER, that being said, I am far more pleased with this MilleGnocchi that I am with just the Cavatelli makers as it is much more versitle and even fun to use.The unit itself operated without any mechanical problems, and my modifications were only made to the bracket ends that attach to the roller unit. I wish that Marcato made a similar unit, but I am happy with this as it is.

The packaging is very poor; the box it came in was in very bad shape e.g. hole from the handle poking out, bottom ripped, and the machine was not wrapped in any type of plastic at all. I probably got someone else's return. I've read stories about fakes being sent out - from plastic handles to components breaking down within the first couple of uses, however the one I received feels like the genuine article - very top heavy and feels robust, stainless steel with some fingerprints (maybe from me), wooden handle, and that Titania etching in the middle. I will give it 4 stars for now.

We went to Italy in 2018. While we were there, we signed up for a pasta making class in someone's home via AirBnB. The woman had three of these for us to use. The class was given by her and her mother, who were both native Italians. As we worked, she showed us hers maker, that had been handed down to her from her grandmother! If that doesn't say long lasting quality, I don't know what does.As soon as we got back to the states, we ordered one for ourselves. It was a great investment! The maker is VERY easy to use, easy to set up and isn't too difficult to clean. We have used it multiple times, including with our 12 yr old daughter and her friends during a sleepover, with no difficulties at all.Highly recommended if you are looking to make your own pasta!

Love making my own pasta since taking a class last summer. It's easier than making bread, really! The Imperia is seriously well made and a good value over some of the cheaper models.For those who've never used a manual pasta machine, here are some things to know. Make sure that your countertop (or wherever you plan to use it) will accommodate the clamp for holding down the pasta maker. Second, get used to the handle coming out sometimes as you're rolling out the dough, if you're doing it solo. It's just part of the game. It's definitely easier with 2 people. Lastly, don't worry about cleaning the rollers/cutters. Pasta dries fairly quickly and is easy to brush out. Don't fret any pieces that you might miss, as it won't "spoil" inside the machine. Don't make the same mistake that I did with my spaghetti cutter. First time that I used it, I tried to clean it out by running a dry paper towel through it. Clogged things up seriously. Took me forever to clean it all out. Ended up bending some of the "combs" in the process. It still works OK, but ....

I used this machine only during our new year to make noodles. It broke down this year and I found out some defect with the design. The main roller's connection to the handle is plastic as shown in the picture. Unlike the other two connectors (to make pasta) are all metal. No wonder the dough comes out uneven during my earlier use because of the plastic interior of the main roller, it make it wobbly. It broke after only three use. There is no option to return this since its been three years but I have only used it thrice so far.Bottom line if you are looking for a sturdy pasta maker better check out some other brands.

Works great! Easy to use, love it!❤️

The pasta maker is good quality but it's much smaller than my old one. It still was functional but I had to keep one hand on it to hold it in place to roll pasta.

Hoping to make my own pasta varieties with this tool, I was very disappointed with it. The dough stuck inside the tool and it was very difficult to remove. The pasta came not the same shape as advertised. Had to return the item.

No funciona!! No se fija bien en la máquina, se sale y se resbala, la madera pega mucho la pasta ( también con harina de semola muy seca se pega todo y no sale nada ) realmente yo trabajo desde mucho años con Imperia y pasta fresca pero esto accesorio no sirve para nada. 🤷🤷

La macchina funziona perfettamente bisogna solo fare bene la consistenza della pasta che deve essere piuttosto dura se la fai morbida non vengono si attaccano e non si tagliano provato tutti e tre i formati compatibile con il motore (per chi non ci arriva nella scatola del motore c’è un piccolo perno nero serve da prolunga visto che il mille gnocchi è più stretto della sfogliatrice)fa pasta rapidamente è molto bella.Appena questa maledetta quarantena sarà finita inviterò tutti a casa con tanta pasta fresca e una gran bella figura!!

le plus difficile est de trouver la bonne consistance de la pâte. trop humide ça colle. trop sèche , les gnocchi ne se forment pas.il faut une pâte de base un peu plus sèche que pour des tagliatelles et faire un boudin de la taille d un petit doigt.depuis 3 ans aucun pb de casse ni ne nettoyage ( il suffit de laisser sécher et tout se décolle sans rien faire . ne jamais laver a l eau.

Este accesorio me ha parecido fabuloso. Me echaban para atrás un comentario previo y mi experiencia con el accesorio de los ravioli.No he tenido ningún problema. Hay que hacer un cilindro con la pasta, meterlo por uno de los tres huecos y dar a la manivela. No tiene mucho truco. El cilindro no debe ser demasiado ancho y debe estar enharinado para que no se pegue a los rulos de madera. Lo he usado sólo una vez pero a la primera me ha funcionado. Salen ñoquis uno tras otro. Tiene tres formas. Uno es como un gusano, otro como un limaco y otro -mi favorito- como de aros separados. Los ñoquis son pequeños. Yo los he hecho incluyendo espinacas en la pasta al huevo. El último ñoqui sale un poco "churro". Ideal para cocinar con niños pequeños.
