Celebrate National Pasta Day at these Great Local Places

October 17th is National Pasta Day and living in Rockford, Illinois is one of the best places to celebrate! We are so blessed to have a plethora of amazing Italian Restaurants right in our own backyard.

It's no surprise in a world where there's a day for everything that something like pasta would eventually have their own too. Everybody likes pasta. It's a world-wide favorite for many! It's not hard to see why either. It comes in several different types like spaghetti, lasagna, rotini, and tortellini. Pasta can also be a main or side dish. Not to mention it's good for you! This holiday is so popular that it has it's own website.
