Hello from Giovanna, let me tell you a little bit about myself.

my home is located along the famous portici Bolognesi from Via D'Azeglio to Piazza dei Tribunali, it takes its name from the artisanal production of tablecloths since 1288, hence Via delle tovaglie. Ever since I was a child in the family bakery and pastry shop, I learned to knead, to be amazed every time by what, with water, flour, sugar, colors and flavors, masterpieces were churned out. In my cooking classes I try to move my guests by recreating those masterpieces that are the traditions of timeless dishes, of those industrious hands of our grandmothers who with love passed on their knowledge to us.

We had a wonderful evening with Giovanna and Anna, our interpreter organised by the booking. We were welcomed into her home woth warmth, she had Prosecco and aperitifs to start and she showed us her secrets to make great tiramisu, and tortellini in meat broth. She welcomed the kids (aged 8 and 12) and we all had experience making the pasta and dessert. The food was delicious, the company was great and warm. Thank you Giovanna for welcoming us into your home, a supremely positive experience which I would recommend highly. Worth it over and over.

A memorable and precious experience for our family with the wonderful master chef, Giovanna P. She was an absolute pleasure to spend time with. Our Son was excited the most with this class. He jumped in any chance he got to make delicious tortellini and Tiramisu under the guidance of Giovanna. We will forever cherish this beautiful experience. Thank you Giovanna and her lovely translator.

My girlfriend and I recently attended a private pasta and tiramisu course with Giovanna in Italy, and it was absolutely fantastic! We had the pleasure of learning how to make two different types of pasta and the most delicious tiramisu. Giovanna was an incredible instructor—patient, knowledgeable, and passionate about Italian cuisine. She made the whole experience fun and engaging. The hands-on approach allowed us to really get involved and understand the techniques and history behind each dish. On top of that, she hosted us in her beautiful historic apartment from the 1700s, which was a special experience that felt warm and welcoming. The pasta was fresh and flavorful, and the tiramisu was simply the best we've ever had. Giovanna also provided us with great tips and recipes to take home, so we can recreate these amazing dishes in our own kitchen. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Italy. Thank you, Giovanna, for an amazing day filled with delicious food and wonderful memories!
