Manager's Field Trip
Pasta you say? World class pizza crust? Marinara sauce? Yep! Peperonata Pasta company. On many occasions I've visited Adrian and Marina's pasta kitchen at 4463 Ashton Road and no doubt they have pride in what they do. Always neat, clean and smelling like you're back in the old country. Marina is always working while Adrian tells you a good story and has helpful advice. Their quality of food not only brings customers to the market but is also available in stores like Whole Foods, Mortons and directly purchased at their shop. I could go on and on about how they came to this country from Argentina, how they have two great kids and that they are always are willing to help someone. But what is most impressive to me is Fochi's determination. When they first started at the market they were restricted to selling their pasta in someone else's booth. For quite a while they came every Saturday with one or two coolers and never gave up on their dream. Three years ago an organization was being formed that was very concerned about vendors of this quality that needed a chance. The rest is history as Peperonata Pasta is known not only in the Sarasota area but around the state as fresh pastas favorite maker. Good things come to good people. Oh, by the way...the organization I spoke of...SFMV Sarasota Farmer's Market Vendors INC. Congratulazioni Fochi! www.peperonatapasta.com
