From a very young age, Joe Sasto knew that he wanted to be a Chef. Learning to cook by his mother’s side, Joe became ignited when in the kitchen. Sasto trained under some of the Bay Area’s most respected Chefs. It was at Quince in San Francisco where Sasto’s passion for pasta truly began. Under Chef Michael Tusk, he managed the handmade pasta program, learning the traditions and roots from one of the world’s most celebrated, Italian-influenced chefs.
In 2018, Sasto began focusing on pursuing the goal of opening his own restaurant. When the global pandemic began chef Joe started to virtually teach both public and private livestream pasta lessons weekly, consulting with brands, curating food-focused content, and developing recipes. Sasto excelled due to his passion for food, as well as his ability to connect with others through music, his personality, and an approachable culinary lens. You may recognize Chef Joe from networks such as The Food Network and Bravo.
Recently, Chef Joe developed a high-end customizable pasta and pizza tool line and launched TANTOS, a puffed pasta snack. Joe is also currently writing his first cookbook, focusing on his contemporary and nostalgic approach to breaking all of the rules of Italian cuisine.
We love Joe’s way of sharing his craft with technique and his passion for the Italian tradition of hand made pasta. Join us on an exciting travel experience with him to the Emilia Romagna region considered the “FRESH PASTA HAVEN”!
