Chitarra's Story

We know the boundless energy and exceptional talent people with autism bring when they are given the opportunity to thrive on their own terms.

That’s why when we started Chitarra Pastaria, we set out to build a pasta startup that competes on the quality of our product - not on donations or sympathy. Our goal is to create the best pasta, collaborate with top chefs, and deliver an amazing experience for our customers. We don’t rely on fundraising to stay afloat - we grow by building a product and company that stand out.

We pay our team competitive wages and expect them to contribute, fostering a sense of pride and professionalism. We also expect them to grow, support each other, and have fun. By reinvesting profits into creating more jobs, we’re building a sustainable, impactful business that proves inclusion can drive excellence.

We’re proud, we’re passionate, and we’re showing that extraordinary things happen when you throw out the rulebook. So if you’re ready for pasta with soul, made by a team with spirit, welcome to our table.
