Pizzeria Disgusto, A Punny Illustration Book of Italian Cuisine

Artist Michael Hacker has created a book of illustrations, celebrating Italian cuisine and creative wordplay. Pizzeria Disgusto is filled with delicious pizza, pasta and other Italian fare — only in anthropomorphic form and renamed appropriately.

Whether it’s E.T. made from spaghetti and renamed Spagh E.T., or a box of head-banging pizza called Moshpizza — the project is often reminiscent of the puns and gross-out humor of Wacky Packages.

Pizzeria Gusto is currently in Kickstarter phase, with lots of goodies available for funders. Check it out here.

Pasta Hair Makes For A Nice Package

Unless we’re dealing with Angel Hair, we don’t often associate pasta with flowing locks. Russian designer, Nikita, wants to change that, with a creative concept for pasta packaging.

Nikita’s series takes the concept of a typical see-through window a bit further. With the creative use of a die-cut, and the inclusion of a woman’s face, the minimalist packaging would certainly stand out in any pasta aisle. Grab a bottle of sauce if you’re into redheads.

How To Make Animal From The Muppets Pasta

animal-pasta

Do you need a pasta dish that rocks? Now, thanks to Disney on YouTube, you can bring some electric mayhem to the table with Animal From The Muppets Pasta.

The best part, besides a Muppet on your plate, is that it’s a pasta dish loaded with vegetables, that kids will be eager to consume. They may even be inspired to do an insane drum solo at the dinner table. Apologies in advance.

Italian Grandmas Try Olive Garden For The First Time… It Does Not Go Well

grandmas-olive-garden

There are two kinds of people… Those who eat at Olive Garden, and Italians. However, the latter has the advantage of years of intensive tomato-based sauce and pasta training by an Italian grandma.

Buzzfeed, knowing that Italian grandmas have very particular palates and no inner monologue, sat a few of them down to try some of The Garden’s signature “dishes.”

The result is what you might expect. Except for one pair of grandmas, who seemed to enjoy everything. Although their accents are a little suspect. Please enjoy…
