About Us
Pastaria Vivi is a handmade pasta shop and Italian specialty market in Encinitas, California, offering fresh, chef-crafted pasta, seasonal sauces, and curated Italian provisions designed for both home cooking and casual dining.
Our story begins in the bustling kitchen of No. 9 Park in Boston, where friends and chefs Brandon Jennings and William Treff first discovered their shared passion for the art of pasta-making. Years later, after honing their craft in Michelin-recognized kitchens and global hospitality venues, Brandon and Will reunited in San Diego with a simple vision: to bring the unmistakable quality and unique flavors of handmade pasta directly to their community in Encinitas and North County San Diego.
Each morning, the team makes fresh pasta and sauces in small batches, rooted in Northern Italian technique and shaped by the bounty of California farms. From hand-rolled tagliatelle and stuffed ravioli to vegan extruded fusilli and seasonal sauces, everything is prepared to celebrate quality, simplicity, and the pleasure of cooking with fresh pasta. The concept reimagines what a neighborhood Pastaria can be: a fresh-pasta counter, a curated Italian specialty market in Encinitas, and a welcoming community restaurant.
