Barilla Pasta Spaghetti 16 Ounce Reviews Summary

Packaging

Pros:

• "Arrived quickly packages in great shape."
• "Gladly the boxes did not come all thrown in a larger box, but neatly packaged in its own box."
• "All three packages were delivered, packed so the pasta didn't break and was well sealed so I didn't have to worry about insects or rodents."

Cons:

• "Three of the eight boxes were split open because the glue holding the bottom box flap failed."
• "This time they shipped in a bag, not in a box to protect from getting beat up."
• "To my horror and disgust the box of noodles had little tiny beadle like bugs in it."
• "In the last shipment, one box had opened and spread pasta all through the box."
• "Just received and my package is all dented and box open and pasta exposed."
• "I have purchased this before and it was fine, but the last box I bought recently was filled with black bugs."

Price

Pros:

• "Great gluten free product at a price lower than the grocery stores even when they are on sale!"
• "Now that's what I call a package of spaghetti package came in tact great price good bargain if you eat a lot of spaghetti and don't want to run out anytime soon this is for you."

Cons:

• "But the price. Is it really $10 per pound with the inclusion of shipping?"

• "I wish it was lower in price but everything is up right now."
• "It is a shame that the price went from 18+ to 48+."

Quality

Pros:

• "Cooks up nicely, just like traditional pasta."
• "The recomended cook time is spot on and produces al dente, so if you like it softer add 1-2 minutes."
• "The texture came out perfect."
• "The texture was just like regular spaghetti."
• "The noodles cook up perfectly every time and the texture and taste is deceivingly similar to gluten noodles."
• "It tastes just like 'normal' pasta, if not even better."
• "Barilla is one of the best brands - pasta cooks up easily and deliciously every time."

Cons:

• "This is the worst pasta I've ever had."
• "Impossible to get a good cooked noodle with this stuff. Flavor is not good, consistency is terrible."
• "The noodles are striped and it immediately broke when put in water."
• "Had to throw away large chunks of stuck together pasta. No Bueno."
• "The pasta seems to be old. It has a gritty taste and falls apart easy."
• "The pasta broke apart into 2 inch pieces as it softened in water."
• "It was not what i expected. Flavor by itself no way, sauce you can smoother the flavor but the pasta was so goopy, sticky, falling apart and little tiny grain of it separated from the noodle - definitely not for me."

Customer Service

Pros:

• "I cannot thank this seller enough. Not only was the price normal for this product, but they also don't rip off their customers."

Cons:

• "Complained but nothing happened. Just a loss."
• "Amazon needs to monitor these sellers because they are swapping products."
• "Canceling all future orders from Amazon for food, no quality control!"
