About Danielle:
An alumna of the storied Chez Panisse and an Académie Brillat-Savarin Medal of Merit recipient at the Culinary Institute of America, graduating top of her class. Her passion is something a bit more simple and rustic: the freshest pasta – made with the most local and seasonal ingredients possible. The focus is stone ground organic wheat from farmers and millers on the Northeast while combining provisions from Italian producers all over Italy.
At the start of her journey she worked in restaurants. Later, after graduating from The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, she accepted a position at Chez Panisse – the American birthplace of the elegant, local, seasonal cooking movement – under the tutelage of Alice Waters. During her four years at Chez Panisse she spent time in the Café and Restaurant soaking up as much as possible, while developing a passion for charcuterie and butchering. Overtime, she grew to oversee the charcuterie program.
Yearning for home, seasons, and family, Danielle wanted to bring her focus back to Massachusetts. She wanted to make the practices of sustainability and seasonality the highlight of her cooking. She moved to Gloucester working as Chef of two restaurants. She then developed a love for the community and was ready to go for her dream of owning her own business. She decided to focus on the importance of farmers, but with a big focus on organically grown wheat here on the North East and a focus on local produce grown by her farmer friends. She owns Pastaio via Corta,
She travels yearly to Italy and bases herself in Rome. While in Italy during her yearly winter breaks, she visits the farmers, winemakers and artisans whose products she carries in her shop. She spends time with the families and learns their traditions as well as their stories to take back and share with her customers.
