Pasta is made from scratch.

In other words – type 00 flour. The ingenious invention of the Italians for the finest ground wheat comes to life in the hands of Chef Mishlav Masalha before your very eyes. Then he puts it in his magic machine and dinner is ready.

Long and tender. In a cozy atmosphere.

Chef Mishlav prepares his pasta according to a recipe that sounds like life wisdom.

“Every action must be thorough, bold and heartfelt.”

And as if his love for life is the secret ingredient in his kitchen.
