What’s this all about?

This is a passion project. I strive to make the most authentic pasta from one very special region: Bologna, Italy. Bologna is famous among Italians as a cuisine-heavyweight-champ. What’s more, the city, people and food have captured my heart. I think it will, at the very least, capture your stomach.

  • I operate '“pop-up” style, generally doing 1 or 2 cooks per week of a small menu. These are announced on the homepage of this website, where you will find an order form. All pasta orders must be prepaid and then pickedup at my location in Leaside during the specified time.

  • Precooked, cold pasta is sad. Since your pasta should be happy, you’re going to have a small amount of work to do.

    You will need to boil pasta, warm sauce, and mix according to our instructions. Everything required for your dish to come alive is included in your order.

  • Assume that everything contains: wheat, dairy and eggs.

    This is NOT a nut-free facility.

    Many items include meat/pork.

    Some recipes can be adjusted to be gluten free or to conform with other special dietary restrictions. Please inquire about custom orders.

  • I don’t have a way to sell food that has been ordered, prepared, but not picked up. Therefore, no refunds.

    I suggest making a friend’s day, gifting it to someone you like, and seeing if they can pick it up.

  • Delivery is available across Toronto, and even some parks of Mississauga, Etobicoke, Markham and Pickering.

    Upon entering your address during check-out, delivery will only show as an option if you are within the delivery zone.

    Delivery cost is based on how far you are from here.

    Delivery days and times will be specified for each order.

  • I do that if time permits. Just email me with the details. $100 minimum spend for custom orders.

What’s so special about Bolognese food?

  1. TASTE: Italians are picky about food, yet, Bologna is a famous food destination even among their discerning compatriots. Pasta reigns supreme, and their best dishes are insanely good.

  2. UNREAL INGREDIENTS: Parmigiano. Prosciutto. Mortadella. Sangiovese. Balsamic Vinegar. The best producers of these famous foods are all found in the immediate vicinity of Bologna. It’s an embarrassment of choice.

  3. ART: For Bologna’s egg pasta to achieve the best texture, it must be handmade. There’s a true art to the traditional methods of preparing these pastas.

  4. TRADITION: I use traditional techniques that I learned while studying under a master pasta maker (called a sfoligna) in Bologna. Everything is done by hand, with the best possible ingredients, to make something that’s near impossible to come by in Toronto. I hope you share it with friends and family.
