About

Flour, eggs, and a wooden board.

I'm the pasta maker behind Piccolo's. Every noodle I serve is rolled and cut by hand, the way it's done in small kitchens across Italy — no machines, no shortcuts.

I live in Squamish, and Piccolo's is partly an excuse to meet more of my neighbours. The food matters, but the table matters more — pasta and people, gathered around a meal made from scratch right in front of you.

Private Dinners

  • 2–10 guests
  • 3–5 course tasting menus, built around the season
  • Fresh handmade pasta — tagliatelle, ravioli, gnocchi, and more
  • Locally sourced ingredients
  • Optional wine pairing

How it works

Three steps to the table.

Say hello

Send an inquiry with your date, group size, and the occasion. I'll get back to you within a day or two.

We plan the menu

We'll build a menu around the season, your table, and any dietary needs — shapes and all.

I bring the board

Flour, eggs, equipment — everything comes with me. You just gather your people.

One more thing

On the house.

Here's the honest bit: I have a day job. Piccolo's isn't how I pay my rent — it's how I meet people. Someday I'd love to open a small restaurant here in Squamish. Until then, I just want to cook pasta and teach the craft.

So if a private dinner isn't in the budget — or you or someone you know could simply use good company around a table — ask anyway. I'll come cook for you and your household for free. I'm not joking. I think strangers should spend more time together, and pasta is my favourite excuse.

FAQ

Good things to know.

Where do you travel?

I'm based in Squamish, and that's where most dinners and lessons happen. I also cook up and down the Sea to Sky — Whistler to North Vancouver — and Vancouver works for bigger tables.

What does it cost?

Every event is custom — it depends on the menu, group size, and location. Tell me what you have in mind and I'll send you a quote, no obligation. And if the budget is the thing in the way, the "on the house" note above is real — pick "a free dinner" on the form.

What do you need from my kitchen?

Not much. A standard home kitchen is plenty — I bring the ingredients, the board, and all the equipment.

Can you work around dietary needs?

Vegetarian menus are easy, and most allergies can be worked around. Mention anything important in your inquiry and we'll build the menu together.

Who are lessons for?

Anyone who wants to get their hands floury — one-on-one or groups up to six. Date nights, birthdays, and team get-togethers all work well.
