The Pasticcio of Domenico — When Sicily Meets Montreal

By: Histoire de Pâtes

Have you ever taken a bite of something and felt like you were traveling without even leaving your seat? Domenico’s Pasticcio does exactly that. It takes you from Montreal to Sicily, with a detour through Spain, all wrapped up in one generous, flavorful bite. This dish isn’t just a recipe — it’s a love story between cultures, born from a dream and a deep hunger for discovery.

The Pasticcio of Domenico: A Taste of Italy in the Heart of the Plateau

Once upon a time in Sicily, there was a young cook named Domenico Coloccia. He loved cooking for his big, loud, happy family. From an early age, he dreamed of sharing his recipes far beyond his island, past the Mediterranean Sea.

One day, that dream led him to Montreal, a city as warm and vibrant as the meals he would go on to create. Montreal has that special something: it embraces you, inspires you, and encourages you to mix flavors like jazz musicians blend notes.

In the Plateau neighborhood, Domenico found a lively community, friends from all over the world, and — most importantly — curious and open-minded palates. And like any good Sicilian, he started to cook… with passion.

The Recipe of an Inheritance: The Secret Behind the Pasticcio

Domenico’s Pasticcio isn’t just a fancy lasagna. It’s a tribute to Italian tradition, to generosity, and to ingredients that tell a story. You’ll find layers of fresh homemade pasta, rolled with care and precision. The sauce simmers for hours, just like in nonna’s kitchen, drawing out all its rich flavor.

But what truly makes this pasticcio unique is an unexpected twist: spicy chorizo, brought in by his Spanish friends, and smoky ham — a Quebec favorite. This duo adds boldness without overpowering the classic Italian soul of the dish.

Every bite is a surprise. You move from melted cheese to a fiery kick of chorizo, then a soft smoky note from the ham. It’s rich, flavorful, and above all… deeply human.

This Dish Has a Touch of Magic

You don’t have to be a food critic to enjoy this dish. It speaks directly to your heart — and your stomach.

Between Sicilian Traditions and Quebec Flavors

Domenico’s idea was to build a bridge between the traditions of his native Sicily and the bold spirit of Montreal. Here, people love classics… but adore reinvention. And you probably enjoy dishes that tell a story and surprise your taste buds, don’t you?

By adding local ingredients, Domenico managed to honor the soul of his recipe while transforming it. It’s not betraying tradition — it’s helping it grow. And this pasticcio proves that cultures can blend beautifully without losing their essence.

Domenico: A Story of Family and Passion

Behind every dish, there’s a person — and behind this pasticcio, there’s Domenico. He cooks the way he lives: with generosity, curiosity, and a healthy dose of joy. This dish was born not just in his mind, but in his heart.

He likes to say that pasticcio is an “invitation to the table,” a dish made to be shared, bringing people together. You never eat it alone — it calls for company, conversation, laughter, and maybe even a good glass of wine.

At Histoire de Pâtes, Domenico serves more than just food. He shares a piece of his life story — and for a little while, you get to feel a bit Sicilian too.
