From Corporate America to Culinary Passion: The Journey of L'Amore Della Pasta

Crafting Artisanal Pasta and Flavors Inspired by Italian Roots


In the Spotlight: L'Amore Della Pasta Bringing a touch of Italy to Topsfield, L'Amore Della Pasta crafts artisanal, natural-colored pasta with love and authenticity. From corporate corridors to culinary creativity, the journey of this small-batch pasta business captures the essence of passion, tradition, and community.


After over 15 years in the corporate world, the call of entrepreneurship beckoned, leading me to embark on a flavorful journey alongside my wife, Ella. Our shared passion for exploring our Italian heritage and the joy of creating authentic dishes led us to the birth of L'Amore Della Pasta.
At the heart of our company lies the art of crafting artisanal, air-dried pasta in small batches. A process that spans 3 to 4 days, from dough-making to pasta cutting, drying, and packaging. With a dedication to tradition, we bring a piece of Calabria, Italy to our customers' tables.
Currently a one-person operation, I pour my heart and soul into every batch. Our unique twist comes from infusing natural colors into our pasta, using ingredients like spinach and porcini powders. Free from preservatives and artificial dyes, our pasta not only adds vibrancy to dishes but also fills them with delightful flavors.
The story of L'Amore Della Pasta has its roots in a serendipitous encounter. Visiting a local farm store, I met encouraging souls who ignited my entrepreneurial spirit. Their guidance steered me towards pasta-making, a craft I'd learned from my mother in my hometown of Tiriolo, Italy. Inspired by my upbringing surrounded by farm markets and a deep connection to the land, I embarked on this venture.
My advice to our beloved community is to support local businesses like ours. Strengthening the fabric of our retail community, and embracing freshly made products, can change the way we savor food. My upbringing in Calabria, alongside my mother's rustic and heartfelt cooking, laid the foundation for my culinary journey.
Our family, including our beloved dog Rusty from Tennessee, is about to welcome a new member. Living near the railroad trail, we've called this neighborhood home for nearly three years. With a passion for food, cooking, and nature, my walks and hikes with Rusty provide me with endless inspiration.
