Where to buy fresh bucatini in Manhattan?

[vbabe]

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Fresh Direct has dried bucatini... you can also do a google maps search for the restaurants that serve it and maybe call and ask them if they buy it fresh and if so from where: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&s... (Quinto Quarto and Il Riccio are the two manhattan restaurants i see

)

I wonder if Buon Italia in Chelsea Market may also have it - I know they have Guanciale (i'm making a carbonara), which is a rare italian bacon-like meat -- so I would check there.

Guanciale is not all that rare these days. Eataly, Murray's, Salumeria Biellese, Salumeria Rosi, DiPalo's all sell it, too.

Grace's Marketplace probably has them. http://www.gracesmarketplace.com/

I don't remember Citarella or Agata & Valentina having fresh bucatini. If you're on the UES, you can visit all 3 places mentioned here to make sure.

I'll keep an eye out - I go to Citarella pretty frequently and my sense is that they have a relatively small selection of fresh pastas. Never go to A & V - don't know why!

Thanks everyone, I ended up buying the dry one at Dean & Deluca, but it turned out delicious.

I'm not sure it is really possible to make fresh bucatini. It would certainly not be done by hand.

[MMRuth]

Thanks - that was what I was trying to get at - seems to me that by definition, because of the hole, it would have to be dried.

Well, in order for it to be dried, it would need to first be fresh... I believe that Bucatini is made by hand using a mold, but I have never seen it sold (at least in this country), in any form other than dried. "Fresh" Bucatini certainly shows up on menus in Italy..

You SHOULD be able to find it. I buy it often in Astoria, Queens. Both Sorrisso's and Tony and Dave's sell it freshly made.

[MMRuth]

Thanks - the thread piqued my curiosity and I'll have to check out your suggestions - learn something new every day.

[layble]

It is made with an extruder.

[MMRuth]

By fresh do you mean rather than dried? I don't think I've seen fresh bucatini anywhere.
