    Giovanna E Cristina prepared tasty food, and plenty of it. The space had a locals feel with endearing and impressive décor courtesy of the children in the family. We really liked the food and the other guests at the dinner. We have enjoyed several eat with dinners in various cities and this experience missed the mark for two main reasons. Firstly, the price point felt a little too high when factoring in other eat with dinners in Rome that offer a more polished experience for the same price. Secondly, and we considered not including this in our review, Giovanna’s conversational skills left something to be desired. She talked about herself throughout the entire dinner, didn’t ask any questions and never listened or took interest in what others had to say. There was little room for anyone else to speak much during the dinner. Part of the joy of attending these dinners is to meet and connect with people from all over the world. Unfortunately, Giovanna did not successfully facilitate or allow for this to organically happen. Based on that, we would not recommend this dinner, nor will we be back.
