Maria Marchetti, chef and owner of Columbus Park Trattoria in Stamford, will demonstrate how to prepare cavatelli using the library's mobile kitchen. Teens and adults. Registration required. Maria Marchetti is known for her restaurant’s homemade pasta, which she makes for Columbus Park as well as the Marchetti family’s two other restaurants, Osteria Applausi in Greenwich and Tarantino's in Westport.
