Caduff Pasta Fresca: A Popular Italian Restaurant in Medellín

Caduff Pasta Fresca is a popular Italian restaurant located in Laureles in Medellín with some very good Italian food with pasta made in this restaurant. Also, the owners of this restaurant are a Swiss couple

Several Medellin Guru readers recommended this Italian restaurant to me. And I recently tried it out and was impressed. Caduff Pasta Fresca makes their own pasta and they use other fresh ingredients. So, the Italian food here is very good.

Furthermore, Caduff Pasta Fresca is currently ranked the 11th best Italian restaurant out of over 180 Italian restaurants in Medellín listed on TripAdvisor in Medellín.  But keep in mind that TripAdvisor can’t always be trusted for Medellín.

The Bottom Line: Caduff Pasta Fresca

I like Italian food and I have lived in Medellín for over eight years but hadn’t yet been to Caduff until recently. But when I tried Caduff, I found the staff attentive and friendly and the food was very good. I definitely plan to return to this restaurant.

The warm ambience in this restaurant suits the delicious fresh pasta and the kitchen is open so you can see them preparing your food. The pasta is always fresh as they make the pasta in the restaurant. Also, you can buy the pasta made here to cook at home.

The bottom line is that Caduff Pasta Fresca has some very good food with fresh pasta and other ingredients and good presentation. And the restaurant is casual with a nice ambiance and good service.

Also, save room for the Sueño Suizo (Swiss Dream) dessert – Swiss cream with caramelized almonds or strawberries – which I highly recommend.

      I am Andreas, the owner of the restaurant. I just want to add that now we also offer Pizzas.
      We hope to see you soon!

    2. El Castello on 10A has excellent Italian food. You almost always need a reservation, unless you ask 3 times for a table; then they magically locate something. I would say that El Castello is a few levels higher than most of the other Italian restaurants in Medellin, and the prices reflect that.

      I only live a block from Caduff and have been a regular there since the Swiss couple Andreas & Haifa Caduff opened it. The daily lunch specials are priced at 15k and consist of a full meal including your choice of pasta type, sometimes spinach or chicken ravioli, salad, bread, drink. The full menu is moderately priced too. I like the penne with bacon and smoked mushrooms.
      The location is almost right on Nutibara Ave. just across the street from Carulla. They are the nicest people.
