Hi from Giovanni!
Giovanni welcomes us in his beautiful loft in the heart of the wonderful Trieste. Of his passion for cooking he is keen to emphasize that initially cooking for him was a necessity but slowly the flame of a real passion arose in him that has fueled, over the years, following various cooking courses, including prestigious ones, in around Italy. Today Giovanni opens the doors of his home to share the flavors of his city with gourmets, with the awareness of those who love the local gastronomic tradition and have the tricks of the trade.

- My thought as I rated 4 stars was that I had hoped for a bit more hands on. We did get a chance to try Giovanni’s tasks, however, briefly. Also, I had requested English and it worked out with some technology but the language barrier did play a role in the end. We did learn pasta but we’re not privy to the filling recipe or the sauce recipes. I suppose that is a technicality. All in all we are very happy that we did this experience.
- What a wonderful fun experience! Highly recommend this! Giovanni was the best teacher and host. He invites you into his home and treats you like family!
- Excellent! Learned basic pasta making, tiramisu. Friendly, good us of Google translate (we were English only). Delicious result, not rushed at all (3 hours). Welcoming, pleasant home, wines and cheese. Recommended.
- Giovanni was a sensational host, welcomed us warmly into his home. I loved that we had to communicate across the English & Italian language. We have been travelling across Europe for 6 weeks & the spaghetti, ravioli & tiramisu he taught us to make was the best meal we have had, delivered on all promises, a must, Cheers Giovanni
- My husband and I really enjoyed our cooking class. We learned how to make pasta and tiramisu. It was amazing and Giovanni was very gracious and a good teacher .
