Our story

Bombolini Pasta is a family based business located in Henrico county Virginia. The owner Lolita Kreckman learned the fresh pasta trade in 2005 while working at the Italian restaurant "Mangia Mangia" Key West, Florida where she was making batches of fresh pasta every day. John Kreckman's background is in culinary arts. He graduated from Johnson & Wales in 2003. John's optimism and creativity have brought new flavor ideas to the fresh pasta scene in central Virginia.

In December of 2008 Bombolini Pasta was launched. It was a small family business with no store front. Within a couple of years Bombolini has grown tremendously gaining quite a bit of loyal customers throughout the city and beyond. Bombolini has expanded not only with the customer demand but also a little helper Ella Kreckman (born 2009).

Every step of pasta production is closely monitored by John and Lolita Kreckman.  Using only the finest quality ingredients and the skills acquired by years of practice, make Bombolini Pasta the finest quality fresh pasta available. The public's interest has grown in healthy and local gourmet foods over the last years. Consumers are increasingly excited about fresh pasta given its superior quality and nutritional value, as well as its ease of preparation.  We enjoy incorporating exciting, non-traditional ingredients into this highly traditional product.  Sky is the limit!
