ATHLEISURE MAG #97 JAN ISSUE | ATHLEISURE LIST Pasta

Pasta is co-founded by the talented husband-wife duo Juan Manuel Umbert and Janice Buraschi in 2019 and embodies a love story interwoven with culinary passion. Their love for open kitchen concepts is inspired their need to create simple, fresh ingredients, and passion for the culinary arts. Juan Manuel and Janice’s dream of creating a pasta dining experience came to life first in a 25-seat eatery in Lima. Now, they are thrilled to bring this authentic pasta journey to Miami's vibrant food scene.

The restaurant is not Italian-Peruvian cuisine, but is focused on traditional pastas by Peruvian chefs. Guests will not find Peruvian Italian pasta, but they can expect to see the synergy between the two cuisines and a respect

The chefs are passionate about pasta and it was also something that was missing in Lima when they opened their first location. It also is what blew their minds the first time they visited Italy. There is something so rewarding about making something that appears to be so simple yet so complex with your hands and making people happy with it.

They opened their restaurant in Italy with much success, but with the pandemic and the political crisis in Peru, they wanted to go abroad. Miami is an amazing city that has been incrasing their restaurant openings. The chefs also have relatives and friends there as well.

The Miami location has an open kitchen and a rustic, modern, and minimalistic vibe. The menu is the same as what is in Lima with ingredients that are found in the US. They are also excited to have ingredients from Italy brought to Miami.

We suggest for appetizers: the housemade Stracciatella with their housemade sourdough bread, the razor clams with nduja salsa verde, and the bruschetta with housemade nduja, honey, and 24-month Parmigiano Reggiano.

For their signature dishes, we have our eye on: the pici cacio e pepe, pappardelle with 15-hour braised beef cheek ragù, and the mushroom agnolotti.

To conclude your meal, these desserts are a great way to enjoy something sweet: Pistachio tart, tiramisu (made with their housemade mascarpone) and their tarta de quesos.

Cocktails that are perfect to pair with your meal include: Milano Torino or a spritz as an aperitif, and great Italian wines will pair with everything.
