Among the Sacchetto family, pasta is a family affair. “My family has been in the business for 60 years. My father learned the art of dough in Turin, Italy. He started his business when he arrived in Montreal: La Maison du ravioli, or Casa dei ravioli, in Italian. In 1975, we were the pioneers in fresh dough, ”says Giancarlo Sacchetto, who learned everything from his father. "I started at 14, cleaning pasta machines. Then I helped him more seriously, until I developed a great expertise in making pasta."
