EMILIA ROMAGNA
MENU
MAMMA MARILENA
Proudly comes from Sassuolo, a lovely village near Modena, the homeland of Aceto Balsamico.
Mamma Marilena's tortellini are probably the best you'll ever try as the passion she puts in making those tiny golden filled pasta is unbeatable! You can taste them only on Mondays and don't be shy to ask her about her recipe, she might not speak English but she'll always find a way to make herself clear! ;)
MAMMA ILARIA
Born and raised in Bologna, a city also known as "the fat" (for evident culinary reasons) and where fresh pasta is a religion.
Mamma Ilaria learned the art of making handmade pasta from her grandma and nowadays she keeps sharing the traditions while teaching to visitors in Bologna how to cook as a local. Guess what we found in her suitcase when she moved to London? The finest Aceto Balsamico di Modena and a big piece of Parmigiano Reggiano obviously :p
