Lorenzo Bossina has carried on his family’s pasta business, established in 1980. Ten years ago, he added a second shop by the River Po, supplementing classical traditional recipes with a line of stuffed pastas, some with very creative fillings. Hence “ravioli in barrique” with pasta made with a Barolo reduction and a braised ox meat filling, ravioli with tomato, boiled ham and cow’s mozzarella, and the highly popular mezzelune filled with octopus and potatoes cased in taggiasca olive-flavored pasta. Another of the shop’s fortes is its Longevo Superfood health line. The flagship products are Omegatoni Bio, matcha tea or curcuma pasta filled with untreated hulled hemp seeds, rich in anti-oxidant properties. The same line includes protein bars and cream spreads enriched with probiotics and beta-glucans. In addition to pasta, they also prepare deli foods with the same health-conscious approach: specialties include Russian salad made with organic eggs,  excellent sous vide vitello tonnato, and exquisite sauces.
