Chef, author and the creative mind behind The Pasta Man. From a London restaurant kitchen to an international audience, Mateo turns fresh pasta into a world of colour, craft and possibility.
Discover Mateo’s story ↓Explore InstagramBefore he became The Pasta Man, Mateo arrived in London from Poland with a bag packed for a fortnight.
A kitchen job at Soho’s Jewish deli, Mishkin’s, changed the plan. He had little cooking experience, but the pace, people and discovery of new food drew him in. London became home, and cooking became a career.
Work in restaurant kitchens led him to 180 Studios on the Strand, where food sits alongside art and creative life. Along the way, he found the ingredient that would define his work: fresh pasta.
Today, Mateo’s world brings together the precision of a chef and the curiosity of a maker. The process is part of the pleasure: mixing, rolling, cutting and shaping something extraordinary from a handful of everyday ingredients.
Striped ravioli. Brightly coloured dough. Shapes that turn a familiar food into something unexpected. Mateo’s pasta has a visual language of its own.
Across Instagram and TikTok, he opens up that process to an international audience. His work makes room for both the detail of the technique and the delight of the finished dish.
That combination gives his storytelling a place beyond the kitchen, connecting food with design, art and fashion.
