Pasta, Porch, and a Little Bit of Italy

Some nights call for slowing down, pouring a glass, and savoring life the Italian way. This La Dolce Vita experience brings the romance of Italy straight to your table, inviting you to linger a little longer over good food, good company, and good conversation.

Inside this indulgent box, you'll find:

  • Three artisanal, bronze-cut pastas from Nicoletto's Pasta Co.
  • Pasta Perfect by Laura Santini (hardcover), your guide to mastering the art of Italian cooking
  • A beautifully crafted olive wood pasta spoon
  • A handmade olive wood charcuterie dish* for your antipasto or dessert spread
  • Our signature Back Porch Guide with themed cocktail and mocktail recipes, a curated playlist, mood-setting tips, and more

Optional Add-Ons:

Pair the pasta and the porch with a romance inspired by passion, possibility, and living life fully:

  • It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey, a flirty, heartwarming story about finding love where you least expect it.
  • Love Fast by Louise Bay, a charming tale of ambition, connection, and savoring every moment along the way.

Whether you're cooking for yourself, plating up a dinner for two, or turning pasta night into a mini getaway, this box is all about creating your own version of la dolce vita, the sweet life.

Why Page & Porch?

For the romance reader

Every box is paired with small-town romance novels chosen to match the mood of the experience.

A gift worth giving

Thoughtful by design. Each experience arrives complete: nothing to plan, nothing to add, nothing to figure out.

Inspired by small towns

The places that move a little slower, where craft still matters and stories still happen.

Word Gets Around

...such a unique and thoughtful concept. It allows you to focus on truly enjoying time together instead of planning every detail of the night.
