Lilly's Fresh Pasta

Visionary

Based outside of Boston, MA, Lilly's Fresh Pasta is New England’s most trusted fresh pasta supplier. Since 1986, we have provided the northeast’s finest restaurants with our gourmet pasta, ravioli, tortellini, and gnocchi.

We never pre-cook our items because we believe that nothing compares to the flavor of fresh! Our pasta is simply made from 100% non-GMO North Dakota semolina and grade A eggs, and our ravioli fillings are made from scratch in our kitchen using all-natural, premium ingredients - no shortcuts, preservatives, or can openers required.

Lilly’s customers are some of the most devoted you’ll ever see in wholesale: they know the degree of flavor, texture, and culinary excellence they can expect from Lilly’s pasta, and won’t even entertain the idea of serving another brand. It’s not that Lilly’s pasta simply wins over competitors – there are no true competitors. It’s pasta the way Mama made it, and it’s nearly impossible to imitate.

Fresh Pasta Enthusiast | Entrepreneur | Pastaio| #pastapeopleOnaMission |

With over 40 years in the fresh pasta industry, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to work alongside our founder Lilly Dalelio. I feel truly blessed to collaborate with many talented and amazing people, especially exceptional chefs and restaurant owners. It’s a journey filled with fulfillment and inspiration!

As an 11-year-old immigrant from Italy, This journey has "CARB" transformed my life 100X, impacting all the closest people in my life. Patience, Confidence, and Respect have been the cornerstones of my foundation!

Lilly D’Alelio, the founder of Lilly's Fresh Pasta, has profoundly shaped and inspired my "WHY." My mother instilled invaluable lessons in me, both at work and at home. Growing up surrounded by pasta and a single mother with a desire to build a business with a determination not to fail but rather to impact the many chefs who choose her products inspired me to learn the importance of Customer responsibility and Commitment to the best quality. When we create a custom recipe product for a chef, there is no room for error, and "WE" take their Vision with immense seriousness to ensure we exceed the customer's needs.

Our mission is to deliver the highest levels of service. I love octopus, a memory of my childhood catching "polipi" in the Ligurian Sea in Nervi, Italy. The eight tentacles each symbolize the pillars of entrepreneurship. If you ever wanna talk Octopus and Fresh Pasta, GAME ON, let's get after it.

Building long-term relationships with clients and supporting my team and Lilly's vision by expanding nationwide is a key focus for me. I am obsessed and passionate about meeting and working with talented, creative food service individuals. There’s always something new to discover, and the endless possibilities of people who love pasta reflect a dynamic path we share.

Back to America. 🇺🇸

36 hours later—with very little sleep and a whole lot of work ahead.

I traded rest for gnocchi technology insight, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

What a great story. What a great family. What a great company.

Yesterday in the Veneto region of Italy, I had the privilege of spending time with the Sandoré family—a family that has been building the best gnocchi machines in the world since the early 1980s.

Trips like this are never just about equipment.

They’re about people.
They’re about legacy.
They’re about the opportunity to create jobs, serve clients and partners, and build something that lasts far beyond a single product.

The cycle of business is so much more than just making gnocchi Ripieni.

I told Mr. Sandoré this directly: what they’ve built isn’t just machinery it’s craftsmanship, pride, and decades of commitment to quality.

I originally planned to launch in March.
Instead, I made a bigger decision.

I chose to invest in a larger, more industrial “RIPIENI” system with significantly higher line outputbecause I believe in this product that much. 
After learning how the gnocchi world approaches gnocchi production, I gained tremendous insight. 

If anyone in America is looking for world-class gnocchi machines, reach out to the Sandoré family just shoot me a DM, I'm happy to connect you!

They are the real deal.

I love ❤️ my country.
I love 😍 Italy.
And we deeply believe in lifelong partnerships that create long-term value, trust, and market leadership.

Grateful. Energized. Just getting started. 🇮🇹✨

CEO | 2nd-Gen Fresh Pasta Pioneer I make pasta that behaves on the line and doesn’t need excuses on the menu. If it’s mushy, full of fillers, or mostly water—I’m not your guy. Quality you can taste, trust, and trace. 🍝

What do Food Safety manager Maria and the Head of Maintenance ken have in common? 🤝🍝

Everything.

In food manufacturing, these two roles don’t sit in silos — they sit at the core of trust.

🧼 Food Safety protects the product it's the guardian of standards.

They focus on:
	•	Preventing biological, chemical, and physical hazards
	•	HACCP plans, GMPs, sanitation, allergen control, SQF
	•	Documentation, audits, and regulatory compliance
	•	Making sure what leaves the building is safe to eat — every single time

Think of Food Safety as the rules of the road 🚦

🛠️ Head of Maintenance

Maintenance is the guardian of reality.

They focus on:
	•	Equipment reliability and uptime
	•	Preventing breakdowns that cause contamination
	•	Designing, repairing, and maintaining cleanable, food-safe equipment
	•	Eliminating risks like:
	•	Metal shavings
	•	Oil leaks
	•	Cracked belts
	•	Standing water
	•	Worn seals and gaskets

🛠️ Maintenance protects the process.

The best plants I’ve seen are the ones where:
• Food Safety and Maintenance walk the floor together
• Problems are fixed before they show up on an audit
• Cleanability matters as much as speed
• “Good enough” is never good enough

Because when these two are aligned, you don’t just pass audits —
you protect customers partners, vendors, your brand, and your future.

👏 Huge respect to the teams who do this work every day — often behind the scenes — but absolutely at the front line of excellence.
Grazie Maria & ken

In recent weeks, conversations with my mother have revolved around the essence of Italian-made pasta fresca in America. We've discussed the importance of patience and the commitment to doing things the right way, even when it takes longer.

She reminded me of a simple yet profound truth: as we scale, we must honor our roots and the history of this wonderfull craft we are blessed to be a part of, ensuring that nothing compromises the quality of our people and ingredients.

Currently, we are building a strong sales engine and laying a solid foundation. The next phase will focus on what truly matters.

We are assembling a world-class team, including a chef, a nutritionist, and a core group that has been manufacturing together since 1986 protecting the integrity of fresh pasta not to mention the rock solid food safety and QA/QC team.

This journey is about pasta obsession and a discipline to treating pasta with the same seriousness as any great cuisine and fully committing to “La Gastronomia di Pasta Fresca e RiPiena”

As we launch forward 2026, our vision is taking shape. The team is energized, and the work is just beginning.

My mother was right: to build the future, we must honor the past and never forget how, where, and why it all started…

Senior Associate | Information Security Risk Assessment | Monitoring and Response

You know how financial institutions struggle with insider threats, data loss, and mounting compliance risk? Well, that’s what I help with. I work with financial institutions and enterprise organizations by combining behavioral analytics with investigative expertise to reduce cyber risk, support regulatory compliance, and protect what matters most, your reputation and data.

When clients work with me, they see:
✅ Reduced insider threat incidents through behavior-based detection
✅ Stronger audit readiness and reduced exception backlogs
✅ Cross-functional alignment between Security, Legal, HR and Compliance

When it comes to cybersecurity risk and insider threats, I know you want to feel confident and in control.
You want to go from being reactive and overwhelmed, to proactive and resilient. To do that, you need clear, actionable risk signals and a strategy that works across people, platforms, and processes. I understand how frustrating and risky it feels to constantly battle hidden threats, especially when the tools are complex and the pressure is high. 

That’s why I’m proud to say I’ve helped major institutions like JPMorgan Chase, KPMG, and
First Citizens Bank build and mature their insider threat programs, reduce exceptions, and align
risk frameworks like NIST 800-53 with real-world execution. You deserve a security framework that not only protects your organization, but empowers it to grow.

I’m currently seeking my next opportunity to do exactly that—partnering with a forward-thinking
organization where I can lead insider threat investigations, optimize GRC strategies, and enable
secure business operations with clarity and control.
