Reviews
""Mateo Lane is the most talented person I Know. I once witnessed him make the best Cacio Pepe I've ever had while simultaneously drawing a picture of The Little Mermaid. All while holding my 3 year old daughter and teaching her how to sing opera. I call him Bobby Slay"" --Chris DiStefano, Comedian ""Matteo Lane is a liar. In the pages of Your Pasta Sucks, he repeats that he has no business writing a cookbook, all while masterfully (and hilariously) weaving an intricate tale of food and family and schooling the reader in the flavors, traditions, and techniques of Rome, Sicily, and his own Italian-American kitchen.""--Katie Parla, author of Food of the Italian Islands ""Matteo Lane is funny, he can draw, he speaks five languages, and now he has a cookbook? He must be stopped.""--Bob the Drag Queen ""Matteo Lane is the most talented, hilarious, well-rounded person I've ever met. He does stand up, acts, sings, draws, and does stand-up--of course he's a fabulous cook, too.""--Taylor Tomlinson, Comedian and Host ""Scusi, but Matteo Lane might be the most popular and sought after friend in America to guide you through Italy! Which is why his book Your Pasta Sucks is perfection. It has appetizing advice, heartfelt and hilarious stories which makes the perfect recipe for delicious, salted pasta water memories!""--Michelle Buteau, Writer, Acress, and Comedian
