Product Description
The Imperia manual pasta machine is a hand-cranked, table-mounted unit designed for rolling and cutting fresh pasta dough. Made in Italy, Imperia have been producing these machines since 1932 and the design has remained largely unchanged — which says something about how well it works. The machine is constructed from chromed steel and produces consistent sheets and cut pasta from fresh dough in a straightforward, controlled process.
In a kitchen context, this type of machine is best suited to operations that make fresh pasta to order or in small batches — a pasta-focused independent restaurant, a small trattoria, or a chef-patron operation where handmade pasta is part of the offering. It is not an electric machine and does not suit high-volume continuous production. What it does do is give the operator precise control over dough thickness and cut width, which is difficult to replicate with larger automated equipment at this scale.
Practical advantages for a kitchen using this machine include:
- Consistent sheet thickness across multiple passes with adjustable roller settings
- Compact footprint that clears easily from a prep surface when not in use
- Simple to dismantle and clean between dough types or at end of service
- No electrical connection required — straightforward to position anywhere on the pass or prep bench
- Chromed steel construction resists corrosion in a damp kitchen environment
Installation is minimal — the machine clamps to a work surface and requires no electrical supply, drainage, or ventilation. The clamp-mounting system means it should be used on a stable, solid surface with sufficient edge clearance. At 3.7kg it is light enough to store away when not needed. There are no utility connections to consider.
This machine is most appropriate for small independent restaurants, pop-ups, supper clubs, or any operation where fresh pasta is made in modest quantities and the handmade process is part of the kitchen's identity. For kitchens producing larger volumes of fresh pasta regularly, a motorised or commercial-grade pasta line would be more practical.
If you're unsure whether this machine matches your volume or workflow, we're happy to talk it through before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It depends on your volumes. This is a manual, hand-cranked machine and is well suited to small independent operations making fresh pasta in batches rather than continuous high-volume production. If you're producing pasta for a large covers count every service, a motorised or larger commercial pasta machine would be a more practical choice.
- No — the machine clamps directly to a work surface and requires no electrical supply, water connection, or ventilation. You'll need a stable, solid bench with a suitable edge for the clamp to grip securely. It's ready to use straight away with no installation work required.
- The machine rolls fresh dough into sheets at varying thicknesses and cuts it into pasta ribbons depending on the cutting attachment used. It is designed for standard fresh egg pasta doughs. It is not suited to extruded pasta shapes, which require a different type of machine.
