The play is set in the kitchen of an Italian restaurant. Three chefs, a waiter and a dishwasher. The kitchen crew is complemented by a local chef from the guest performance venue, who cooks out of passion. His life consists of creating delicious pasta dishes and nothing else: pasta e basta.
For the others, the kitchen is a place of their dreams, passions and musical longing for Italy. Goodbye cooking spoon, the kitchen is now the big stage. Great voices emerge, hidden dance talents are revealed, Elvis Presley is imitated and even a grand piano has its place in the kitchen. Incoming orders are only casually considered, pasta is cooked in excess and the dirty dishes pile up in the sink.
The throats of the musical troupe only become rather muted when a lady from the office unexpectedly appears at the door and threatens to put an end to the goings-on. Can the kitchen team use the power of their music and the local top chef with his delicious pasta creations to charm the lady from the office and avert the imminent closure of the restaurant?
