 In 1900, Albert Michael was born in Lucca, Italy to Angelo and Amelia Battaglia. Albert had 6 brothers and sisters: Ada, Gino, Elena, Guido, Maria and Pietro. He and his siblings spent many hours helping his mom make fresh pasta.
Finally, his dream of coming to America had finally come to a reality. The only treasure he brought with him was his momma’s family recipes. He was confident that he could work in a restaurant if he needed work. With a little bit of pocket change and a head full of dreams, Albert arrived in Pittsburgh, PA he worked in a Macaroni Factory. He met and married Mary White in 1929. They moved to San Francisco and lived in the Excelsior District. They had one son Robert “Bob” who was born in 1931. Albert continued this tradition by teaching Bob to make fresh pasta just the way his momma did.
Albert died suddenly when Bob was 16 years old. Bob began to ride the rodeo circuit under the name “Bob Barnett” until he went into the Marine Corps. In 1956, Bob met and fell in love with Nancy Smith they had three children Katie, Greg and Joan. Bob continued his father’s legacy by teaching his children how to make fresh pasta just the way his father taught him to.
Today Greg still keeps the family tradition alive through La Spiga D’oro overseeing that they use the same family recipes that his father’s father taught him.
