Pasta Tarot

Get ready for a tarot experience like no other with the Asta Tarot, a 78-card deck that brings together pop culture, Italian-American tradition, and a dash of queer flair. Perfect for tarot readers of all experience levels—or anyone who simply loves a hearty plate of baked ziti—this deck is as fun as it is insightful.

Rooted in the authors' queer Italian-American identities, Asta Tarot is a contemporary and playful reimagining of tarot that includes all the essentials, plus some unexpected surprises. The Major Arcana is a pop culture lover's dream, featuring vibrant, whimsical depictions of iconic figures such as Corleone with a cannoli, Sophia Loren, Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, and drag queens that are sure to make you smile. There's even a Pride Parade led by these legendary figures!

But the real fun begins with the suits. In the Asta Tarot, Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles are reimagined as Corta (short Asta), Ripiena (stuffed Asta), Lunga (long Asta), and Minuta (tiny Asta)—that's right, fifty-six unique types of Asta, each bringing its own flavor and personality to your readings.

Whether you’re divining Asta-inspired dishes for your next dinner party, reflecting on a personal reading with friends, or simply pulling a daily card to set your intention, this deck offers a playful, delicious twist on tarot for every occasion. Mamma mia, the Asta Tarot has it all!
