Family, especially Grandmas, all have a special touch they add to meals that makes them better than others. It might be due to years of experience, or maybe it's just a skill we all gain once we're a certain age. Either way, when it comes to fresh pasta, you have to do it right or not at all. This Italian restaurant in the heart of Kansas City has been doing it right for years, and still makes some of the best pasta around.
