MANGIA MACARONI

Mangia Macaroni was a nickname given to the Lazzaroni street beggars in Naples, Italy. Translated this means "Pasta Eaters." In the late 1700's Pasta was cheap & plentiful. It was made in the streets of Naples & hung out to dry in the open air. The Lazzaroni would eat Pasta by the fistful with their bare hands. Today, Pasta has come a long way from its early roots. Americans have become accustomed to eating this Italian staple at their dinner table or in sit down restaurants. We created Mangia Macaroni as a nod to the "Pasta Eaters" who paved the way for Italian cuisine as we know it. We are taking Pasta back to its roots as a homemade Street Food. A meal that can be prepared fast & eaten on the go. We encourage our customers to use a fork. But if you choose not to…...
