I have used your jumbo shells for many…

I have used your jumbo shells for many years for stuffed shells with cheeses but the past two times I have had issues with shells splitting along sides of shells and some shells actually malformed and unable to stuff with cheese. I gently boil for approximately 10 minutes but I have found at least one third is falling apart!! Have you changed something in processing?

I received a free sample of the Barilla Al Bronzo

I received a free sample of the Barilla Al Bronzo pasta. I loved the way it held the sauce. The taste is so close to homemade.we tried the bucatini and spaghetti and both were superb.thank you for the chance to have homemade tasting pasta in a convenient grocery store package.

Soapy lasagne pasta

My brother bought this a couple days ago and used it today on his amazing lazagne
Unfortunately this time the lasagne had soapy aftertaste and after checking everyhting in the kitchen we discovered the reason of the aftertaste was the pasta itself. It even had a barely noticable unless nose close to the sheet smell of washing detergent.
How such a batch got past quality checks is a travesty and i suggest you never buy from barilla again.

I have been making my delicious…

I have been making my delicious vegetarian lasagne for years and never had any problems. I bought Barilla lasagna sheets as always thought this was a good brand. Well my lasagne this time was disaster. The texture was so soft and mushy. Just as well it was just my husband eating it. If I had invited guests I would have thrown it in the bin

The quality of your penne pasta has…

The quality of your penne pasta has gone down. Use to taste good but not anymore. The penne takes longer to cook and after cooking the taste was bad, hard to describe. The penne felt like there was a lot of artificial ingredients. Will not buy your penne anymore. I have to throw my meal away, it just doesn’t taste real penne.

Dear Barilla

Dear Barilla,
The quality of your pasta has gone down a bit, but what I really dislike is the 400gr size!!!
I wish you would stop that!!

shame on you

I'm Italian and I live in England, I haven't been back to Italy for 4 years, I finally found the Barilla sauces and bought a pack of Bolognese, I wasted my money because there is nothing Bolognese in it, to be Bolognese you have to add the ragù and cook it with the addition of the pieces of Bologna, here I found inside only the vegetable base of carrot and onion and the tomato, but you've lost your mind, that's how you keep the name of Italian products high and it's one of the most popular dishes abroad, you should be ashamed, maybe because it was bought by an American company, Barilla is really pathetic now, last time I buy something with the Barilla brand and I'll certainly give bad publicity here in England.
And since you are seeing one thing for another, this is a scam and you have scammed me, therefore you are .....

Barilla pasta without gluten

We buy Barilla pasta without gluten. The taste and consistency of this pasta is good. However in a packet of "400 gram" spaghetti there is only 285 g!!!
Weighed on my electronic kitchen scale that is very accurate.
That is cheating Barilla!

Barilla - best pasta I’ve ever tried

I love pastas and I know only one brand - it’s Barilla. I buy always only its products and I’m totally satisfied. I love its shapes, size and taste. This product are a bit expensive, but at last, they don’t stick together and are high quality.
