Marcato is an Italian-engineered pasta machine brand crafted in Campodarsego, Italy since 1930 - precision-engineered pasta rollers, cutters and accessories built for fresh-pasta production in restaurants, cafés, delis and home kitchens. Hospitality Connect is an authorised AU supplier of Marcato Atlas, Atlasmotor and Pasta Drive ranges with full accessory compatibility.
What Marcato makes
- Atlas 150 (manual): The original hand-crank pasta machine; 150mm roller width with adjustable thickness and integrated fettuccine and tagliolini cutters.
- Atlas Motor (motorised): 240V motor attachment converts manual machines to powered operation; reduces operator fatigue in high-volume production.
- Pasta Drive accessories: Add-on cutter heads for ravioli, lasagne, pappardelle, spaghetti and bigoli formats.
- Atlas Wellness 150: Stainless steel hygienic version for commercial use; food-safe certifications and easy strip-down.
- Marcato Ampia and Atlas 180: Wider 180mm and 240mm roller machines for higher-volume pasta production.
Where Marcato is used
Marcato Atlas machines are the global standard for fresh-pasta production in commercial restaurants - the Italian pasta house benchmark for everything from family-run trattorias to fine-dining venues. The Atlas 150 with motor attachment produces 5-8kg of fresh pasta per hour in skilled hands; the wider Atlas 180 and 240 handle 10-15kg/hour. Production-style restaurants use Marcato as the pre-shaping stage before commercial sheeters and cutters; small bistros and delis use Atlas as the primary production tool for daily fresh pasta service. Authentic Italian construction and traceability supports menu storytelling.
Range highlights
- Italian-engineered precision: 0.6mm minimum sheet thickness with 9 thickness settings; consistent across daily production.
- Cromato chromed steel rollers: Chromed steel resists corrosion and gives a satin-smooth pasta finish.
- 10-year warranty (manual machines): Reflects Italian build quality and serviceability.
- Modular cutter accessories: Snap-on cutter heads for fettuccine, tagliolini, lasagne, ravioli and specialty shapes.
- Made in Italy: Marcato manufacture all components in Padua, Italy; full traceability for menu provenance.
Specifier checklist: bench depth (Atlas machines need 200-300mm front-to-back); power outlet for motor attachment (10A 240V); accessory budget (cutter heads add to capability progressively); washing protocol (Marcato recommends brush-cleaning, not water immersion - the chromed rollers oxidise if wet). For high-volume Italian restaurants, two Atlas 150 machines are typically more flexible than one Atlas 240 - separate sheets and cuts run in parallel without machine-swap downtime. Genuine Marcato spare parts and accessories are available from Hospitality Connect with manufacturer warranty. Lead time on factory-direct parts runs 4-6 weeks; stock common cutter heads as critical-path items.
