Oliva Pasta accommodates dietary restrictions and allergens with custom tasting menus.
Chef Andrew Dolich, a local pasta maker and chef, leads the business. With experience working at Detroit’s top restaurants, hosting local pop-up events, and has won six nationally recognized food contests in 2023/2024. Dolich brings exceptional skills and traditional pasta-making techniques to Oliva Pasta. Several of his methods include fatto a mano (handmade pasta), and pasta ruvida (rough texture pasta), a technique to enhance pasta texture that absorbs and clings to sauces. He creates doughs like pasta uovo, pasta di semola, pasta verde, pasta integrale (whole wheat), and other varieties. Oliva sources the best organic flours from the USA and Italy.
“Handmade pasta dough creates these beautiful air pockets that slowly disburse through the dough during the sheeting process, creating better texture”, Andrew says.
Oliva Pasta offers one-on-one in home or virtual pasta classes, providing a personalized and hands-on learning experience. Every third Friday, he will be hosting group pasta classes at The Michigan Folk School in Ann Arbor, Mi. Participants have the opportunity to gain experience in traditional pasta making techniques directly from Chef Andrew Dolich, who shares his exceptional skills and knowledge. Oliva Pasta’s one-on-one or group classes are designed to enhance your appreciation for the art of pasta making.
