RIBALDO

The Profile

Roman contributor to DeBaser known for blunt, tradition-first recipes and a gritty short story about betting and horses.

Italian from Rome; authored Roman-style guides to Carbonara and Amatriciana and the short story Armando er cavallaro; described as irreverent and free-spirited; associated with Deep Purple as favorite band per a review.

Four reviews paint RIBALDO as a blunt, Roman voice on DeBaser: two no-nonsense guides to Carbonara and Amatriciana, a gritty short story about a horse-race gambler, and a fervent fan tribute. The cooking pieces stress tradition (guanciale, pecorino, no cream) and technique, while the story follows bets, debts, and fate. Overall mood: irreverent and passionate.
