Pasta Ditoni’s
About Pasta Ditoni’s:
While working in restaurants and cooking employee meals after shifts, Goga Bhattal and his best friend realized that the pasta they had been preparing and eating was dry and flavorless to say the least. They wanted to bring something different to the table, literally. They started trying pasta recipes until they mastered making some of the best pasta Columbus has to offer. Pasta Ditoni’s produces only the highest quality pastas from the amazing over stuffed ravioli’s including flavors like Crab, Gorgonzola & Pear, Six Cheese, Jamaican Jerk Chicken, Prosciutto Portabella, Braised Beef and many more, to their other “from scratch” options like gnocchi, pasta sheets, linguini, angel hair, and spaghetti. Don’t forget to ask about the gluten free options! They carry several from scratch sauces like Marinara, Vodka, Tomato Alfredo, Pesto and Chipotle Cream as well as the finest Gelatos and Cakes imported from Italy. Pasta Ditoni’s is here to bring the true taste of Italy to your kitchen table that is sure to have everyone talking!
How Did The Idea Come About?
Goga and his partner wanted to bring a fresh take on premium pasta to Columbus as they were not happy with the quality of pasta they were getting. In 1993, the two opened Pasta Ditoni’s as a pasta manufacturing company supplying local restaurants with their fresh pasta inventory. Seeing potential in a retail location, Goga with the help of his daughter Jyothi, applied, was accepted and opened at the North Market in Bridge Park. They are happy to be able to be a one stop shop for everything you need to make a delicious meal at home for a fraction of the cost of going out.
What’s Your Favorite Thing About Being a Part of The North Market?
The North Market is a big place yet holds on to that small feeling embracing the community of fellow merchants, visitors and other local businesses. Seeing regular customers returning and trying new things while also introducing new visitors to the market is one of the highlights for Pasta Ditoni’s! Being able to build and strengthen relationships within the market and community while offering entire quality meals at a fraction of the cost of going out is a priority for them.

Story of Pasta Ditoni’s and Goga Bhattal:
Working in restaurants when he was young, Goga learned early about quality ingredients and flavors. This is what brought about his passion to have that true taste of Italy offered to us here in Columbus. Though over 80% of the business is wholesale, he enjoys the retail aspect greatly and has aspirations for a unique brick and mortar concept restaurant where he can prepare the food for patrons. Many have asked and requested this throughout his time in the industry especially since entering the North Market. Goga has heard this and is eagerly awaiting the opportunity to do so when the time and place is right. In the meantime, make sure to stop by and grab everything you need for that homecooked meal, it will not disappoint!
