Ravioli
We will transform ravioli into true works of art, elevating cuisine to a new level of creativity and refinement. Imagine a dish where each raviolo becomes a blank canvas, ready to be decorated with unique flavors and stunning presentations. Fresh, high-quality ingredients will be the colors of our culinary palette, while preparation techniques will serve as our brushes. But the experience goes beyond the kitchen: a touch of wine artistry will accompany this gastronomic creation. Prosecco, with its lively effervescence, will enhance the flavors of the ravioli, turning every bite into an unforgettable sensory journey. An experience that blends taste, aesthetics, and emotion.
Giovanna was a wonderful hostess. The class was perfect and the atmosphere was wonderful. When you are there you feel like you’re home. Definitely do this when visiting Rome.

A truly delightful dinner, a real journey into the authentic flavors of Puglia. Mrs. Giovanna welcomed us with great warmth and professionalism, immediately making us feel at home. Every dish was prepared with the freshest ingredients and a lot of passion: from the handmade orecchiette to the flavorful traditional appetizers, up to the genuine dessert that tasted of home. An authentic culinary experience, rich in aromas, flavor, and tradition. Absolutely to be repeated!

We had an amazing experience doing our pasta making class with Giovanna. She was so welcoming and fun. The pasta was fun to make and amazing to eat! Am going to highly recommend this experience to anyone who comes to Rome for vacation.

I gave the pasta course with Gio to my partner as a birthday present and the evening exceeded all our expectations. Giovanna has a lovely little flat where she gave us a very warm welcome. Everything was perfectly and lovingly organised and prepared and even a colleague of Giovanna's was there to help with the translation from Italian to English (thanks again, Angelica!).
We made two types of pasta that evening which tasted wonderful and also had a great aperitif and excellent tiramisu, along with lots of helpful tips for making pasta and staying in Rome. Always happy to return!

My husband and I were on a vacation with friends to Europe and we had scheduled a cooking class with Giovanna. We were blown away by the attention to detail the overwhelming welcome. We received as strangers in her well appointed home, she made you feel like family. Her class was so well organized, and thoughtful that we left feeling like we could cook an Italian meal on our own. From the beginning of the class, she was encouraging and modeled different ways to make our meal. She then offered a unique and diverse beautiful spread of appetizers and complementary wine, pairings and infused water that really satisfied the pallet. The ambience felt like you were walking into a party curated just for you from matching tablecloths and wine goblets to a complementary color scheme. Giovanna made you feel like Family. If you were considering a cooking class, Giovannis’s chop notch and will have you walk away with a lifetime of memories in a few short hours.

I love cooking traditional Puglian dishes with a modern twist. It's a return to simplicity and rediscovering authentic flavors using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, often at zero kilometers. My cuisine is a blend of innovation and tradition, always prepared with passion, hospitality, and creativity.
