Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 05/13/2020
ach episode is a self-contained encounter that packs in a lot of information, a cooking demonstration and a moving human encounter in about the time it takes pasta to cook. I found it moving and addictive. Go to Full Review Richard Lawson Vanity Fair 04/06/2020
The Shape of Pasta's narrow focus is a bad match for its grand, lush aesthetics. Go to Full Review Mark Kennedy Associated Press 04/06/2020
That sounds a little ridiculous for a premise, but the filmmakers prove respectful and loving of the topic, sucking you in. Go to Full Review Rob Hunter Film School Rejects 05/13/2020
Funke is soft-spoken and sincere, both of which pair well with the quibi's slow, relaxed pacing. Go to Full Review David Griffin IGN Movies 05/13/2020
7/10
Chef Evan Funke's exploration of rare pasta shapes is an enlightening experience for any foodie... The Shape of Pasta's "10-minute or less" runtime feels insufficient. Go to Full Review Alan French AwardsCircuit.com 05/13/2020
2.5/4
There is little about "The Shape of Pasta" that makes the series stand out from other food travel shows. While Funke can be enjoyable, he does not bring the same energy or excitement as David Chang or Anthony Bourdain. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Haleigh W Feb 16 Incredible! So touching! What a lovely man - respectful, kind, intelligent! See more mudhutstudios 02/01/2023 I've watched hundreds of cooking episodes. The TV streaming format gives rise to this new breed of show. Equal parts beautiful scenery, lust for obscure food secrets, and honest discourse. All in a buoyant ten minute program. It could be called, "The Shape of Programming" See more 07/01/2020 Definitely my favorite show on Quibi, one of the few that actually isn't just for someone under the age of 22. Evan Funke is an inspiration. Very beautiful show. See more 05/14/2020 The passion of both Evan and the women he learns from transcends time, place, and culture to provide a captivating escape into a mouthwatering pre-corona world. I sincerely hope that I one day get a chance to taste each of the unique pastas featured in this series. My only regret in my plans to cancel Quibi before they start charging me a ridiculous €10+/month is that I will miss a potential season 2 of this show. See more Read all reviews
