Giovanna
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.

- It was truly a wonderful experience. Giovanna is clearly both passionate and talented. Everything she did was above and beyond what my mom and I expected. The cooking experience was lovely. We learned to make pasta, and got to try several homemade dishes afterwards. We had an appetizer, two pastas to taste, and tiramisu. Much more than I expected to learn, and more than worth it. We had both wine and cold water to go with everything, very nice compliment to the food. Giovanna also gave us some goodies to take home that were very well thought out and an amazing addition to our meal. From chef hats, pasta nameplates, edible necklaces, and my take home menu, it was clear she put a lot of thought into every aspect of our class Her home is lovely, and I greatly appreciated her spending time arranging the placemats, cooking setups, and decorations to welcome us. Would love to take another class in the future.
- 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!
