Zaza’s Pasta Shop and Italian Market – Iowa City, Iowa

September 19, 2014 by Meemaw Leave a Comment

While driving through a residential neighborhood on the East side of Iowa City, I passed by a shop I’ve been meaning to check out.
 
Zaza’s is located in a cute little bungalow on Bowery Street that has been home to many businesses through the years, and I was surprised and happy to see it has been converted into a quirky little pasta shop and Italian market.  (Don’t let the lack of parking scare you away.  If you pull into the alley beside the store, you’ll find two parking spots behind the building.)

K.T. was operating the pasta machine today, turning out some beautiful Tomato Basil pasta.  The flavors and types of homemade pasta offered for purchase will varies from day to day.  They even offer a daily “Special”, according to their website.  And the best news…they can ship anywhere!

The shelves are filled with authentic Italian products, and the deli case holds a variety of meats, cheeses, desserts and salads ready for purchase.

The place was spotless, both inside and out…a rare occurrence in many food establishments today…I only wish they served lunch, since the spot felt so cozy and inviting.  And who wouldn’t love a bowl of homemade pasta on an Autumn afternoon!??

The sunlight was streaming in through the huge front windows of the shop, and I hated to leave the warm glow and friendly surroundings.  It’s my kind of browsing spot.

It’s awesome to see a small niche business finding success, one pound of pasta at a time!  And it proves once again, that in Iowa City you don’t have to go far to find locally-sourced, high quality ingredients and products made with pride.  And remember…Zaza’s will ship their products to you, wherever you are.

Bellisimo!
