Carmella AlvaroOwner & Pasta MakerIl Laboratorio & Melina’s Fresh Pasta

My parents, Giuseppe and Giuseppa, came to America with my sister, Rita, and brother, Rocco, over fifty years ago from Sinopoli, a small town near Reggio, Calabria, on the southern tip of Italy. I was born in Syracuse, NY a few years later and was lucky enough to grow up in the local close knit Italian American community watching my Mom cook meals from scratch, using ingredients my Dad grew in his backyard garden. After leaving home, I missed the homemade Italian food I grew up with so I took a trip to Italy to learn how to make fresh pasta. When I returned I founded Melina’s Fresh Pasta in 2010 and Il Laboratorio - An Italian Focused Cooking Class Kitchen - in 2024.
