Using traditional recipes and methods learned in Italy, Melina’s Fresh Pasta produces fresh pasta, ravioli, gnocchi and sauces using fresh and local ingredients. Our fresh pasta is made in the Italian tradition with just eggs and finely milled durum and semolina flour. We produce a variety of ravioli stuffed with special blends of spices, seasonal vegetables and imported Italian cheeses. Our fan favorites ravioli include Lemon Ricotta Ravioli, Pimento Cheese Ravioli & Fig Gorgonzola Ravioli along with traditional flavors like Spinach & Cheese and Pumpkin. In 2022, the Melina's was awarded the best overall Made in NC Product by Our State Magazine. Now in their 15th year Melina's Fresh Pasta can be found all over the Triangle in farmer’s markets and stores.

Owner, Carmella, is the first in her family born in the US to Italian immigrant parents. She travelled to Italy to learn traditional pasta making. Upon her return she founded Melina’s Fresh Pasta (Melina is the nickname her family calls her) to bring fresh pasta to the Triangle.
