Dolce & Gabbana x Di Martino Mezzi Rigatoni is a limited-edition Pasta di Gragnano IGP produced in Gragnano, Italy — a town long known as the historic “City of Pasta.” Made with 100% Italian durum wheat semolina, this pasta follows strict IGP standards that protect its origin and traditional production methods.
Mezzi rigatoni are short, wide tubes with deep ridges. The “mezzi” (half-length) format makes them especially versatile while still offering the structure needed to hold rich sauces. Their hollow center and ridged exterior allow sauce to cling both inside and out, delivering balanced flavor in every bite.
Extruded through bronze dies and slowly dried at low temperatures, the pasta develops a rough, porous surface and maintains a firm, satisfying al dente texture.
This shape pairs beautifully with:
-
Slow-cooked meat ragù
-
Sausage and tomato sauces
-
Vodka sauce
-
Creamy mushroom sauces
-
Baked pasta dishes
-
Vegetable-based sauces
What makes this edition distinctive is the Dolce & Gabbana collaboration, featuring vibrant Sicilian-inspired packaging that celebrates Italian culture and craftsmanship — making it both a pantry staple and a collectible piece.
