Pasta Bowls

Pasta plates are ideal if you want to serve pasta neatly and comfortably. Their deep shape keeps sauce, vegetables and toppings better on the plate. That makes eating more pleasant and looks elegant on the table. In this collection, you'll find plates that suit both an everyday dinner and a more elaborate meal with guests.

Why choose pasta plates?

A good pasta plate is wider and deeper than a regular dinner plate. That makes it suitable for spaghetti, penne, ravioli and other pasta dishes with sauce. They’re also handy for risotto, meal salads or soup. Looking for an addition to your current tableware? Then pasta plates are often a practical first step.

Which pasta plates suit you?

Choose the right size

For a normal portion, a medium-sized deep plate is often enough. If you like serving generously filled pasta dishes or also use the plate for salads and bowls, it’s better to choose a larger size. A wider rim often creates a neater presentation.

Pay attention to shape and depth

A deep model is ideal for saucy dishes, because you can serve more easily without spilling. A slightly shallower plate works well if you also want to serve dishes such as risotto or lunch salads.

Look at material and finish

Stoneware and ceramic give the table a warm, refined look. Smoother finishes often appear a little sleeker and are easy to combine with modern cutlery and glassware. If you want to build a calm base, combine them with other pieces from your tableware collection.

How to combine pasta plates at the table

Pasta plates look their best in a table setting that feels simple and balanced. Combine them with plain bowls, glass mugs or small tableware in the same color family. For a complete setting, you can also take a look at mugs for coffee after dinner or teapots for a long lunch or dinner at the table.

If you want to keep the table calm, choose one base color and add at most a subtle contrast in cutlery, linen or glassware. That way, the meal remains the focus and the table looks refined without feeling busy.

Buying guide for a pasta plate

• Choose a deep plate if you often serve pasta with sauce.
• Go for a larger size if you want to present generous portions or complete meals.
• If you also use the plates for soup or salads, look for a versatile model.
• Match the color and finish to your current tableware for a harmonious look.
• Consider ordering several matching plates if you often eat together or host guests.

Everyday use tips

Serve pasta directly on a preheated plate if you want to keep the dish warm for longer. For creamy sauces, a deeper bowl shape is ideal, while a slightly flatter model works better for filled pasta or a neat presentation. Feel free to use these plates for shakshuka, curry or a generously filled lunch bowl too. That way, you get more out of one piece of tableware and your cupboard stays organized.
