About Us

An independent UK specialist for Italian-made pasta and pizza tools, kitchen equipment and more.

Pasta Kitchen launched in 2016 with a straightforward aim: stock the tools that actually make a difference when you're cooking Italian food at home. We're a family-run business, and Italian cooking tools are genuinely what we know. We've been selling Marcato pasta machines and Eppicotispai tools the entire time, and every product we add to the range gets used and tested by our team at home before it goes on the site.

The range has grown a lot since then, but the approach hasn't. We choose products we believe in, from brands that have been making them properly for decades. Almost everything we sell is made in Italy. Marcato pasta machines are manufactured in Campodarsego, near Padova. Berkel slicers and knives are made in Italy, in the province of Varese. Cerutti Inox and Eppicotispai are Italian-made brands we've carried for years.

We're an authorised UK retailer for the brands we carry. Everything is supplied with UK-compatible plugs where applicable, VAT is included in the price, and there are no import duties or customs surprises on delivery.* You may be able to find some of these products cheaper from overseas sellers, but what you won't get is UK warranty support, correct specifications for the UK market, or anyone to call if something goes wrong.

*UK orders only. Shipping restrictions and import duties may apply for orders outside the UK.

The Melfa is a powder-coated steel pellet shovel sized for the Piana's top-loading fuel hatch. When you're keeping a session going, adding pellets from a bag is messy and imprecise. The Melfa delivers a controlled scoop directly into the hatch, cleanly and without stopping the cook. At 21.5 x 8 x 4cm it takes up almost no space.

Cleaner Refuelling Mid-Cook

The Piana's top-loading hatch lets you add fuel without opening the door or interrupting the bake. The Melfa makes that practical. The scoop is sized to deliver pellets straight into the hatch without spilling onto the oven exterior, which matters when you're working next to a 400°C surface.

  • Sized for the Piana's top-loading fuel hatch
  • Controlled delivery with minimal spillage
  • Dimensions: 21.5 x 8 x 4cm

Powder-Coated Steel, Same Finish as the Oven

The Melfa is made from powder-coated steel, matching the finish of the Piana and the Vallone trolley. It handles the heat and wear that comes with regular use at the oven. Hand wash with soapy water and avoid abrasive cleaners to keep the coating in good condition.

  • Powder-coated steel
  • Heat and wear resistant
  • Available in Charcoal, Eucalyptus, and Chalk to match the Piana colourways

About ZiiPa

ZiiPa is a French brand founded in 2022 with a single focus: serious pizza at home, without a serious setup. Designed in France around Italian cooking tradition, every oven in the range is built on the rotating cordierite stone system that sets the Piana apart from most compact ovens on the market. Find out more about ZiiPa.

Can the Melfa be used with fuels other than pellets?

It works with pellets primarily, but handles other lightweight fuels such as wood chips. It is not designed for larger wood pieces or briquettes.

How do I clean the Melfa?

Hand wash with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scourers as these can damage the powder coating. Dry thoroughly before storing.

Does the Melfa come in the same colours as the Piana oven?

Yes. It's available in Charcoal, Eucalyptus, and Chalk to match the three Piana colourways.
