Elisabetta Collegaro & Massimo Tundo
Originally from Milan and culinary trained in Italy, Chef Massimo and Pastry Chef Elisabetta really learned from their “nonna” the secrets for the authentic fresh pasta. Their recipes passed down through generations are truly their hearts in a bowl. In 2004, the couple moved from Northern Italy to Fort Lauderdale to open their own facility with a mission to supply the best fresh Italian pasta to South Florida’s fine dining restaurants and Michelin-starred chefs on the East Coast.
And they did, to enormous success. In 2010 they received the Sofi Silver Award from the Fancy Food show in New York City for their truffled pasta, which is a signature. In 2018 at St. Roch Market (now Mia market) in the Miami Design District, the duo delivered their first fresh pasta dining concept, Dal Plin Italian Eatery, named after a pinched ravioli from Elisabetta’s grandmother home village of Piedmont.
Dal Plin showcases a bounty of classics and hidden gems of regional Italian cuisine featuring made by hand daily fresh pasta, gnocchi, and ravioli that are true to their roots and close to their hearts.
Their fresh pasta concept is expanding with two new upcoming locations: one in Doral at Shoma Bazaar and one in Brickell at OkeyDokey, in addition to their fresh handmade pasta specialties, they will introduce classic Antipasti (appetizers) and Secondi Piatti (main courses) and made-in-house desserts to offer “with lots of love” a full authentic Italian experience.
