FEAST LIKE A LOCAL
Ciao! We're Ivan and Val, and Pasta e Fagioli is, first and foremost, a project of love.
After years working in five-star hospitality, we moved to Australia, bringing with us the skills and experiences that shaped who we are today. Pasta e Fagioli is where Ivan’s expertise in the kitchen meets Val’s creative vision and experience in events and venue management — where our two worlds come together through food, hospitality, and the little details that make people feel at home.
Before Pasta e Fagioli, Ivan was already sharing a little taste of Italy with Perth through traditional piadina romagnola. The idea for Pasta e Fagioli grew naturally from there — inspired by the food we grew up with and a belief in keeping simple things done well.
You’ll probably know us from Perth’s local markets or our Cheese Wheel Alfredo at Scarborough Sunset Markets. Our pasta truck is our favourite place to be — cooking fresh pasta, chatting with people, and creating the relaxed vibe that makes Pasta e Fagioli what it is.From the markets to weddings, celebrations, and corporate events, we bring the same warm approach with us.
Our menu is inspired by the regional recipes we grew up with, from Veneto to Napoli. Simple, generous Italian food, made to be loved and shared.

how we work
WITH YOU.
”We hired Pasta e Fagioli as a vendor food truck for our surprise wedding at Baldivis Farm Stay, and they were hands down one of the best decisions we made for the day. We’ve been frequent flyers to the Scarborough Markets, making the hour-plus drive just to get a taste of their creamy mushroom pasta - yes, it’s that good. So when it came to choosing food for our wedding, there was no question. We knew we wanted that pasta, and we wanted Val and Ivan behind it. The menu was absolutely insane..."
When Ivan suggested Pasta e Fagioli as the name for our truck, it wasn’t the obvious choice. A humble dish of pasta and beans didn’t exactly sound like the typical food truck name, but that was exactly why it felt right.
For us, Pasta e Fagioli represents the food we believe in: simple, regional, and honest, with no need to impress to be good. The kind of dish that is like a warm hug on a winter night.
It’s also the philosophy behind everything we do: staying true to our roots, keeping things simple, and putting love into what we create. Because the best things don’t need to be complicated. Absolutely not!
Today, seeing dishes like pasta e fagioli making their way onto modern restaurant menus makes us smile. A little reminder that simple food, made with care, never really goes out of style.
Turns out, maybe our nonnas knew what they were doing all along!
