Our Story
Authentic Italian Flavor, Created by a Chef
Buon Primo® is a brand of authentic Italian shelf-stable pasta and risotto meals created by Italian Chef Fabrizio Facchini. Every recipe is made in Italy with Italian ingredients.
Chef Facchini's career spans Italian restaurant kitchens, hospitality and high-volume meal production. Buon Primo grew out of a straightforward question: how do you serve a proper Italian first course to someone with no kitchen, no fridge space and two minutes?
The answer was a package that needs no refrigeration before opening, no added water, no preservatives and no artificial flavors — and still tastes like it came out of an Italian kitchen.
Sustainability
Italian Quality. Thoughtful Convenience.
Buon Primo's shelf-stable format removes the need to keep unopened meals refrigerated or frozen under their specified storage conditions. This can reduce reliance on energy-intensive cold storage and refrigerated distribution, while simplifying stocking and everyday transport.
A long shelf life — 12–24 months, depending on the recipe — also supports better inventory planning and can help reduce waste associated with short product shelf lives.
From a home pantry to an office bag or dorm-room shelf, Buon Primo makes it easier to keep a satisfying Italian meal within reach.
Store unopened products according to the package instructions. Follow package directions after opening and when reheating.
