Eccellenze Italiane
Pastalab
It is no secret that you are served delicious food among the food stalls on Olavstorget. What not everyone knows yet is that Pastalab was recently awarded Eccellenze Italiane for its uncompromising Italian cuisine.
To receive such an award first and then a few weeks later to receive the invitation to a State Visit, well, it is incredibly difficult to describe in words. We did not expect all this, we just did our job with the utmost integrity and respect for the traditions that have been handed down to us from grandmothers, mothers and teachers.

Matteo Carniato And Jacopo Carlesi
It is four years since the co-owners of Pastalab, Matteo and Jacopo, moved to Trondheim, and met before for the first time when they both worked for the Fratigruppen at Una Torget. There they quickly discovered that they shared the same idea and passion for real Italian food, and that they both had a desire to start something of their own. Together they began to plan how the dream could materialize into reality.
When the Italian President Sergio Mattarella visited Trondheim with H.K.H. Crown Prince Haakon as host, Matteo and Jacopo were invited to the solemn concert in Nidaros Cathedral, as representatives of parts of the Italian business community in Norway. The following day they received a visit from the Italian vice-consul in Trondheim who presented them with the award Eccellenze Italiane.
Eccellenze Italiane
The award itself is a recognition of the authenticity surrounding the production of Italian dishes, as they are served in Italy according to the classical tradition, respecting the recipes without allowing fusions with local flavors just to increase sales.
You could say that there is a passion for conveying originality and a moral integrity when it comes to the food – no refinements, no use of brand names like “carbonara” without delivering a REAL carbonara.

The remark is not only about food, it is about all art that has a possible connection to Italy under several categories. The office is registered under the Italian Ministry of Economic Development and Economy, and the Office of Registered Patents and Trademarks, with a further upgrade to a European level under the EUIPO.
Real Italian culinary delights in Trondheim
Before Pastalab became a reality, they both worked at well-known and beloved restaurants in Trondheim and Trøndelag. Matteo first started at Strandbaren on Stokkøya before moving on to the Michelin restaurant Credo, while Jacopo has worked for both the Fratigruppen, Olivia and Sellanraa. Now the dream has become a reality, and you will be served award-winning Italian food at Pastalab on Olavstorget in Trondheim.
