At Felix Trattoriain Venice, the bearded chef is focused on showcasing the Italian traditions of rolling fresh sheets of pasta, by hand. There’s even a room dedicated to pasta making that he calls “the laboratory.” His all-consuming passion is the subject of his first cookbook: “American Sfoglino.”
