Food is terrific! Subs are some of the best I've tried! Prepared food is also great! The only downside is the lack of parking and it's a very busy area. The store has been updated in a very good way ! read more

First visit to this much-talked-about Italian provisions shop that also does respectable sandwiches. No parking, no rest rooms, and nowhere to sit and eat, but I was impressed by the friendliness of the staff and the speed by which they made the sandwich. -- Italian Sandwich: A heavy beast of a sandwich with a lengthy ciabatta roll stuffed with sopressata, salami, capicola, hot capicola, mortadella with pistachios, asiago cheese, arugula, tomato, onion, seasoned oil, pickles, and hot peppers. --- All of the flavors came through and the meats seemed of very high-quality. The pickles were more noticeable than the hots, but easy to adjust next time. The cheese tasted better as it went along, probably getting closer to room temperature where it really shines. --- The flavors and textures were all impressive with the one exception of the ciabatta-- a little on the firm side, but that could be symptomatic of my late Sunday visit. I give them a pass for that and applaud this VERY good sandwich. --- Incredible value! This had to weigh at least 3 pounds and could easily have fed two people, and for only slightly more than a McDonald's "value" meal. Normally, I would wait and try it again before reviewing, but the city of Lynn isn't easy for me to get to, so now it is and it's an easy 4. The only things holding them back from a 5 are the lack of parking, seating, and toilet. read more

I love Durum. I've had their ravioli, pizza, and subs. Everything is delicious. Staff is friendly. Their chicken cutlet sub is my fave. It's huge and perfect. I recommend calling ahead to order the sub. Their pizza is awesome and so is the ravioli. I love that. They have prepared pasta dishes that you can take and go. They also have Italian pantry products so you don't have to go out of your way to get much if you were planning to make a meal using one of their fresh pastas. They've just added gelato and I'm super excited to try it next time I am home. read more

This place is incredible!! The staff are friendly and helpful. The pasta and bread are amazing. Just shared an Italian sub with my husband and it's full of the best ingredients - the arugula and Italian cold cuts with the hot peppers and provolone cheese on their bread - utterly amazing!!!! read more

My quest to find the best local Italian sub may have ended! The large sandwich was more than enough to eat for two meals and the homemade Ciabatta bread was still incredible even eaten the next day. There are several ready to heat and eat items for sale as well as freshly-made uncooked items. Note that there is no seating to eat inside so you'll need to take your items to-go. read more

I had an electrician who lives in area of this bakery tell me about the bread made from semolina wheat imported from Italy. It took me a while to get here. Boy am I glad o made it. Ordered loaf of fresh Italian ciabatta bread. It was beautiful with a golden crust. When I got it home I cut it open and it was wonderful with air pockets light white bread and a crisp crust. I also bought a fresh pasta of fusilli which we made a week later. Fresh and top ingredients as it was made with Semolina wheat imported from Italy. Durum grains from Italy have been around for centuries. So good. Finally I had to have some Italian Anisette cookies and they were very good. All this in a little well lit and very clean bakery and pasta shop in Lynn, MA. read more

Durum Pasta Company - This is the fusilli pasta from Durum Pasta company with my "Gravy" and meatball. - Pasta Shops Near Me - Lynn, Massachusetts

durum in Lynn exceeded our expectations! Fresh pasta is their specialty, & it shows. For a family gathering, we ordered the chicken parmesan & meat lasagna, both priced at $40 each & absolutely worth it. We couldn't resist grabbing some extras--the prosciutto & fig schiacciata & fresh focaccia with tomato & garlic were amazing. We left with more than just our meal, though--fresh pasta, sauce, & treats for the win. Everyone raved about the food, & Durum earns two enthusiastic thumbs up! read more

F'en phenomenon sammichs. First--the tray pizza was a "no go at this station" check out my pizza reviews. I know pizza. This pizza is, as one reviewer states "is the drizzling shits". Hard pass. The meat ball sub was one of the best I have had. The bread to ball ratio was perfect. My only complaint was I wish I had more sauce. The meat mix and spice of the balls was excellent. The mortadella sammich was reminiscent of my time I lived in Europe. Fresh bread, imported mortadella, a crap load of pistacchi and loads of fresh Stracciatella. Come hungry my friends. These are big sammichs. Ambiance is nonexistent, just a small store front selling homemade and imported goods. Service could be a bit be a bit "warmer". read more

The Sandwiches were pretty big and tasty, and the staff were friendly. On top of the food they also had some pastries and groceries.

I got an Italian sandwich that was loaded with "super high quality" Italian meats on a home made Baguette (they also have home made Ciabatta). Unbelievably tasty! Only thing is there is no where to eat inside, so you have to bring home or eat in the car. Didn't want to wait to eat until we got home as we had to stop at Dom's in Malden for steak tips and it was about 45 minutes home. Huge sub! Way too much for two IMO. If you have a chance you have to try out this totally authentic Italian sandwich. We also got fresh ravioli while we were there. Delicious! read more

Just here to hype up a terrific small local business. They are a favorite with everyone in my community for pasta and I can attest that their Italian sandwich is epic! Incredibly fresh, delicious and personally feeds me for at least three meals. read more

Since it was my first visit, I was shown around the shop by a friendly lady. I ordered a meatball sandwich for lunch and eggplant parm for another day. The sandwich was absolutely delicious but because of its size I could only eat half of it!! It warmed up to perfection the following day. The eggplant parm was also pretty amazing. It had extra sauce to cover the pasta that I cooked to go along with it. I would like to say that I'm from Louisiana and we know how to cook so kudos to you Durum Pasta Company. Your food is scrumptious! Thank you!!! I would suggest you add a label to your refrigerator items with cooking instructions. It would make life a little easier for your customers! read more

Everything is absolutely fabulous at Durham. My favorite favorite is the eggplant parm!! The best I have ever had! My husband loves the chicken broccoli and ziti which he eats over two meals! Everyone I know who has tried the Italian sub says it's the best ever...also cannot be eaten in one sitting or needs to be shared! But the bread,the sandwiches and the cookies!! So so delicious . I feel so fortunate that Duram is in my neighborhood read more

Love the place. Good variety. Great for those nights you just want a quality easy meal.

Their pasta is amazing, got the angel hair was very pleased. They also have a variety of nice fresh cookies and other things to nibble on. Will definitely be going back. read more

I was currently shopping for fresh pasta, and Spinelli's did not have what I was looking for. Driving back to drop off my folks I came across Durum. I immediately pulled over to go in. I saw the female attendant inside with all lights on and realize the door was locked. I waved to the attendant made a signal. And nothing. What is frustrating about this experience is that clearly I was being ignored clearly the attendant or employee saw me there smiling waving trying to get the attention not understanding what was going on. So I then turned back and noticed on the left hours listed. It's on a sign that is smaller than the building certification sign. They had just closed three minutes after I showed up. You think that at least I could've gotten a signal saying sorry we're closed or further instructions but someone who's purposely trying to ignore you, or doesn't want to be bothered That was poor customer service. I wasn't expecting to be served if they were closed but some sort of acknowledgment if you're still there with all your lights on, would've been decent. Maybe an additional recommendation or something. I can understand if she was far away and couldn't see me but I'm right there in front of you and you're looking to the sides looking down opening your registers to count money that's just a sorry, and Shirley response. She could've probably just spoken from where she was standing and I would've heard her. I live in Washington DC and don't get to come up as often only when I'm visiting my folks so I'm unaware of the businesses in the area and their times. So what happens in this case is that when I'm back in the area, I will just choose not to go there because all in all it wasn't a pleasant feeling when you're just left there even after waving and knocking on the door read more

This is such a cute little spot that not only has some of the freshest pasta I've had but some of the thickest subs too- and they're more than good. Everyone was so friendly and they even have a small section to purchase oil, sauce and some other cooking items for their products! read more

The best pasta, trays of lasagna and eggplant parm, and sandwiches. Do not wait to go. This place is truly outstanding! They have some gluten free options too. read more

Let me tell you about this place. This sandwich is absolutely delicious. Period also, they have splendid pasta. Any kind you want they have it already made with sauce and meatballs so I do find the meatballs a little spicy, but I still like them the slices of pizza to go I cooked to perfection their soups are very delicious. Give this little pastry shop a try. I think you'll like it. read more

Don't call at 5pm to order an Italian sub. The store is only open to 6pm. Poor customer service over the phone and explicitly advertising their hours for their product. read more

There isn't much Better. Everything is delicious and so reasonably priced!!! Come to think of it, I'm going to stop there and get something for tonight's dinner. read more

Love the fresh pasta and baked goods. Consistently good. I wish you had more things from Italy such as flour etc. Would love to see more products in the future, it is hard to find a good italian market. read more

So their Italian is unbelievable and one of the most amazing sandwiches I've ever had. The crusty bread is a great touch to the mountain of fresh Italian cold cuts they put on it. Would have given the sandwich 10 stars if I could. The meatball sub was good but the bread they use did not hold up and it was overly soggy throughout. The pizza was disappointing and average at best. I more than recommend the Italian sub and had to be must try when visiting this location. read more

The food and service is top notch! I really enjoy the ham and cheese calzones and the chocolate dipped biscotti.

Absolutely wonderful! It is nicely accessible for someone using a rollator. The staff is attentive and helpful. The meatball and italian subs we got were gigantic and delicious! The raspberry butter cookies are so heavy and good, they're like a little jelly donut in a bite-sized container! I can't wait to go back! read more

The food just wasn't good at Durum, the Italian sub was just "meh ". The bread was decent, but the flavor itself wasn't real good. I would rather pay 5.49 for a Market Basket sub then $15 for theirs I got my wife a premade meal and her exact opinion was " I don't know if I like this, or don't like this". Needless to say, I probably won't be back to Durum, which is sad, because it is in my old neighborhood, and I wanted to like it. read more

Best tasting Italian food around. So quick and easy for a great dinner. Stop pick up some of the best homemade pastas, meatballs or lasagna and so much more. . read more

Not impressed with the 3 dollar ciabatta. So light. I expected more. I will go back to try pasta.

Had such high hopes but was thoroughly disappointed. After multiple recent trips to Italy sought authentic sandwiches and pasta in Boston area but this did not scratch the itch. Sandwiches (mortadella and prosciutto) were both meh. Didn't bother to finish them. Proportions wrong. The meat and cheese ravioli had an indescribable taste that was quite off putting. Vodka sauce fine. Wouldn't rush back despite the social media hype. Service quick and friendly. Store is clean and has good selection of high end dry and canned goods. read more

Wow what a find! Durum is a speciality pasta shop with dry pasta goods, prepared meals, fresh breads, and rows of pan pizza waiting to be taken home to your table. We drove by Durum, which occupies a well-lit shopfront on a corner on Lynn's busy Eastern Avenue just past CVS. Walking in we were immediately greeted by the fresh smell of bread and our eyes darted around looking for where the amazing smell was coming from. We noticed the the clean interior with refrigerators of fresh homemade raviolis, pastas, and prepared meals on one-side and shelves of dry pasta and bottled sauce on the other. One can see into the kitchen over rows of sicilian pizza. After our eyes - and noses - came back to their senses, we made our way over to the cashier and ordered an olive loaf (~$5) and the focaccia (~$3.50) and were not disappointed. They were gone by night's end. Next time, we'll be stopping by for the Sicilian pan pizza (cheese, pepperoni, meatball with ricotta and other choices sold by the slice) which was lined up next to the cash register beneath a glass display. My only complaint is the store hours as they are only open until 6, making it difficult to stop in to grab dinner after work. Staff was friendly, and we were in and out quickly at this grab and go hidden gem. read more

The jumbo cheese ravioli's remind me of the ones I would help my Italian grandmother make right after church she would make the dough and I would cut it, fill and crimp them. Both the jumbo cheese ravioli and the mini spinach ravioli were out of this world. There is nothing quite like fresh pasta. Get out and support this small business. read more
