Hi from Giovannella!

My cooking is the result of a family passion passed down from my mother, my grandmother, and shaped by the experiences and places that have been part of my life. I love cooking with seasonal, local products, and whenever possible, ingredients from my own garden. I enjoy growing and using aromatic herbs, transforming fruit into unique and healthy jams, as well as creating traditional liqueurs. My cuisine is typical of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, as a Neapolitan transplanted to Puglia, with Sicilian and Campanian grandmothers and a Pugliese mother-in-law. I love French cuisine and exploring “fusion” experiences that blend Southern Italian and international flavors.

**A Must-Do Italian Cooking Experience** > I can’t recommend Giovannella R.’s cooking class highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and felt right at home. Giovannella shared wonderful tips as we made orecchiette and cavatelli, learned how to prepare fava beans and chicory, and enjoyed incredibly fresh ingredients throughout. The highlight was a delicious and creative twist on tiramisu. An unforgettable experience and a perfect activity for family and friends—we would love to return for a longer stay!

Giovanella was a very gracious host. She was very patient with my poor pasta making skills

We had a fantastic experience with Giovanella. The class is hands on, fun and informative. The Trulli and maseria are beautiful! Highly recommended.

Giovannella was AMAZING! I can't even put into words how happy I am that we got to do this. She was so patient in teaching my non-kitchen friendly self everything while also making it fun. She makes you feel like you're a part of the family and shared so much information about the region as well as helped us make sure we could experience all there was to offer by giving us personal recommendations for things to do. The food was of course, delicious, and I could have stayed there all day eating. 100/10 you must do this & get to know Giovannella!
