Chefs Avi Conforti and Shachar Levy tasted sweet potato ravioli with Alfredo sauce from Israel's largest pasta chains to determine the best dish. The tasting, joined by Tal Shapirer, evaluated three different chains: Fiori, Gomba, and Pasta Mia.
The first dish, from Fiori, was criticized by both chefs. Levy described the pasta as "cast iron" rather than al dente, and Conforti noted an unfavorable dough-to-sweet potato ratio, with thick, coarse dough and insufficient filling.
Gomba's ravioli received a more positive reception. Levy praised the filling's flavor and the more pleasant sauce, calling it "not bad for its class." Conforti agreed the sauce was tasty and the dough less thick than Fiori's.
Pasta Mia's dish was highlighted by Conforti as the only one where the filling was distinctly felt, and he found its sauce the most complementary. However, he found the dough too soft. Levy placed Gomba first and Pasta Mia second in his ranking.
Ultimately, both chefs ranked Fiori's ravioli in third place. Conforti awarded first place to Pasta Mia and second to Gomba, while Levy chose Gomba as his top pick and Pasta Mia as second.
