Giovanni graduated as a master chef from the Rome International Chef's School in 1989 and has owned and managed a number of restaurants both locally and overseas. He has cooked in Naples, Rome, Costa Rica, Newark and Miami, Florida (for the likes of Bruce Willis, Demi Moore and Sylvester Stallone).
His food is of authentic, traditional Italian style, all prepared fresh on the premises. Hence his favourite saying: "My food is out of the pan, not a can". Giovanni has been cooking recipes handed down from his grandfather since he was 14. His traditional tomato-based Napoli sauce is cooked slowly for eight hours and the recipe remains a secret, close to his heart.
When you come to visit us, make sure you try the Italian Prawns (just one of his signature dishes). Then, you too, will know what everyone is raving about!
