Zero Zero Handmade Pasta Launching Dinner Service Today!

Zero Zero

Zero Zero Handmade Pasta in Kansas City’s Westside neighborhood is embarking on a new adventure by offering an Italian dinner service.

  • Zero to Hero: Zero Zero Handmade Pasta was started in 2021 by Mitch Fagan and partner Leah as a once-weekly pasta delivery service sparked by at-home boredom during COVID. The project grew, leading them to open a brick and mortar in 2022 in the Westside neighborhood. (1702 Summit St.)

  • Italian Dinner: As of today, Zero Zero now offers dinner service Thursday-Saturday nights from 5-9 pm. Reservations can be made for parties of 1-4, with dinner service offering handmade pasta, Negronis, and house-made desserts like tiramisu. Zero Zero is also offering First Friday weekend lunch reservations.
