Fresh pasta: ancient traditions within everyone's reach

Together with Lara, I open the doors of our home to share a gentle and genuine approach to cooking: from fresh pasta classes, where ancient gestures become modern, accessible experiences for everyone, to our home restaurant, where every dish is brought to the table with care and sincerity. Since I was a child, the kitchen has always been my favorite place. That’s where my passion was born—among the aromas of simmering sauces and flour-covered hands. Over time, that passion became a true calling. I decided to pursue professional training to deepen my techniques and give structure to what had always been driven by instinct and love for food. I love literally “getting my hands in the dough”: from tortellini to gnocchi, from lasagna to spaghetti alla chitarra, all the way to risotto. Every preparation carries the beauty of Italian culinary tradition. My Lucanian roots and Lara’s Sicilian heritage have taught us the value of simplicity and Mediterranean flavors: good olive oil, aromatic herbs, and the authenticity of ingredients from the earth. These values continue to guide us and give flavor to everything we create in the kitchen.
