The Napoletano family celebrates three generations of making homemade pasta in Springfield.


Springfield Pasta opened its doors in Springfield in 1965 and has been dishing up freshly made pasta ever since. 

Gene's Salon and Springfield Pasta are the two oldest businesses on Saxer Avenue.

"Lots of area businesses have come and gone, but we are still here," said Robert Napoletano.

It All Began In Italy

The Napoletano family opened a small store in Abruzzi, Italy in the 1930s selling homemade pasta.

The family moved to Argentina in the late 1950s and opened another shop with handmade pasta in the business district of Buenos Aires. In 1965, the majority of the family moved to Springfield and started the Springfield Pasta brand.

Pasta and Springfield, a Family Tradition

Robert Napoletano, the business manager and grandson of the company's founder, grew up in Springfield and graduated from Springfield High School.

"Family is the most important thing," said Napoletano. "Springfield is also a great place to grow up and raise a family. I have many great memories. It's why I'm still here." 

Napoletano's father and uncle still come to work each day at 6:30 a.m. His uncle, who moved with the family from Argentina, also graduated from Springfield High School.
