It didn't start with a cone. It started in a restaurant. ‍ ‍Davide spent years running busy kitchens, developing recipes, managing service and learning how to create food people want to come back for.

Valentina spent years running the floor, managing teams, reading the room and understanding all the details that shape a good experience.

One was focused on the food.
The other on the people and everything built around it.

Over time, those two worlds became Pasta Cones.‍

Pasta is one of the most iconic foods to share around a table. A cone is one of the most iconic ways to enjoy food on the go.

Not the usual way to serve pasta.

Bold recipes and full-flavoured sauces, served in a fun cone that’s easy to hold, and unmistakably street food.

Davide cooks. Valentina tastes.
Valentina comes up with an idea. Davide cooks.
Either way, there’s usually something good coming out of the kitchen.

Davide looks after the food: the recipes, the technique and the practical side of service. He brings to Australia the flavours and cooking traditions he grew up with in Italy, exploring new ideas without losing what makes them Italian.

The format may be different, but the food stays true to its roots.

Valentina has always felt a real need to create, and Pasta Cones gives it a place to go: into the brand, the photos, the illustrations, the events and the way people experience it.

That’s the system.
