Your experience
- Mixed antipasto from Trieste
- Tagliolini (homemade pasta) with fish sauce and vegetables
- Tiramisu with seasonal fruits
We'll start our culinary journey with a freshly brewed coffee before heading to the local fish market, where we'll see a wide variety of seafood and mollusks. Next, we'll visit the vibrant vegetable market, where seasonal produce of all colors and flavors will be on display, along with local cheese, herbs, and taralli. After a short walk to my home, we'll enjoy a traditional Trieste aperitivo and finger food before starting our cooking class. We'll learn how to make homemade pasta such as tagliatelle, pappardelle, or ravioli, with a traditional sauce and finish with a famous tiramisù. We'll then gather around my beautiful antique table, where you'll be served with exquisite dinnerware, an aperitivo, and a good wine to accompany the delicious food.

- What an amazing experience! I've always wanted to take a cooking class and opted to try this one in Trieste. It was amazing! Giovanna spoke English well and helped my husband and I make a delicious pasta lunch with yummy triramisu for dessert. She taught us how to make everything, then cooked it all up and served it to us for lunch, along with homemade wine and coffee. Fantastic experience!! There's a nearby parking garage that was easy. Make sure to get her surname before arriving, so you can buzz the correct apartment to get into her building
- My wife and I had a wonderful time with Giovanna in her home. It was really fun to help make different types of pasta and then the Tiramisu. It was even more enjoyable yet to then try your works with her own twist of flavors added. A truly fantastic meal and a very pleasant host who has travelled many sections of the globe! Would highly recommend.
- We had a lovely experience with Giovanna. We made delicious pasta and it was very authentic Italian experience (+ beautiful paintings in the house). In the end we got delicious homemade Limocello. Surely recommended! :)
- Such a fun experience all around! We really enjoyed the class and it was delightful to eat in the home of a local.
- Abbiamo passato un pomeriggio interessantissmo dalla signora Giovanna imparando a fare la pasta e soprattutto come creare un tiramisu alle cigliege squisitissmo il cui segreto non passiamo a nessuna delle nostre amiche 😉
