Primi Piatti: Signature Italian Recipes with Roberto Riovanto at the WEA

'Primi Piatti', literally translated as 'first plates', are the most important courses of a traditional Italian meal.

These starchy courses are served after the antipasto (starters/appetisers) and before the second piatti (main course).

Roberto will explain step by step how to cook risotto, lasagne and crespelle.

These recipes will be your ace up your sleeve to organise Italian themed nights for your family and friends.

Roberto Riovanto has been teaching at WEA since 2013.

Roberto is a qualified chef in Italy, with a PhD in food Science. Since moving from Italy to Australia in 2012, he has managed the popular Ruby Red Flamingo restaurant.

In 2024 and 2025 Roberto received weekly Adelaide Fringe awards in the 'Eat & Drink' category for his 'Welcome to Carnevale at WEA' event.
