Hi from Giovanna!

The city of Trieste is well known for its history, its port, the Bora wind, its historical cafes filled with the scent of roasted coffee beans and a gastronomic melting pot that must be discovered and rediscovered... We can explore and experience classic Mitteleuropean Trieste cuisine at the home of our Cesarina, Giovanna. Giovanna loves simple traditional cooking made with fresh ingredients and seasonal fruits and vegetables. She seasons her dishes using excellent olive oil, aromatic herbs and spices, with small forays into the kitchens of the world. In Giovanna’s kitchen, you will discover a pantry laden with sauces, preserves, pasta, spirits and sweets, all strictly homemade.

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! :)
