Marcato Atlas Otello Pasta Machine

While the internal mechanics are similar, the Otello is a limited-edition model designed as a tribute to 1930s aesthetics. It features distinct oil-treated wood accents and a unique vintage-inspired finish, making it as much a display piece as a functional kitchen tool.

No, the Otello is not dishwasher safe. The aluminum rollers and wood accents can be damaged by the heat and harsh detergents of a dishwasher; instead, clean the machine by wiping it down with a dry cloth or brush after use.

The Otello is primarily designed for rolling out consistent sheets of pasta dough. While it includes settings for thickness, it does not come with interchangeable cutters for shapes like spaghetti or linguine, so you will need to cut your sheets by hand or with a knife.

The rollers on the Otello accommodate dough sheets up to 150mm wide, which is the standard width for most traditional Italian pasta recipes.

The removable polymeric resin combs are designed to prevent dough residue from building up inside the machine. By easily popping them out, you can clean away flour and dried dough bits that would otherwise be difficult to reach, ensuring your machine stays hygienic over time.

The wood accents are treated with natural oil for durability, but they should be kept dry. Avoid submerging the machine in water or using heavy cleaning agents on the wooden parts to prevent warping or finish degradation.
