Our story
Chef Lorenzo Rossi crossed the Atlantic with his family — and his grandmother's pasta board — in 2008. He opened Bella on West 24th the same year, in a former dry-goods warehouse where the brick walls still smell faintly of flour. Eighteen years later, Lorenzo still rolls the day's pasta before the doors open at five. His son Marco runs the kitchen now. Nonna's photo hangs above the oven.
