Chef Giovanna

Ciao 👋🏽 I’m Giovanna, born and raised in Venice — the very heart of tiramisù’s origins — where tiramisù isn’t just dessert, it’s a way of life. Growing up, I was ever so often in the kitchen, experimenting with sweets, baking for my family, and soaking in the belief that food is the purest form of love. In my home, sharing a meal wasn’t just about eating — it was how we showed care, appreciation, and joy. ❤️


Moving to Sweden was a big change, first for my career in architecture, then for love. But life had other plans for me. When I struggled to find opportunities in my field, I naturally gravitated toward something that had always been a part of me — food. Working in Stockholm’s restaurant scene deepened my passion for sharing Italian flavors, and it made me realize something: the tiramisù I had been making casually for friends and family wasn’t just “good”— it was special. Again and again, I heard: “This is the best tiramisù I’ve ever had.”, then someone said, “Giovanna, I would buy this in a heartbeat!”. That’s when I knew it was time to bring my tiramisù to every foodie in Stockholm. 😋

What makes my tiramisù unique? A perfect balance of tradition and a little twist — creamy mascarpone, rich espresso-soaked savoiardi layers, and a delicate surprise: small bites of chocolate that enhance every flavor and add a touch of texture. 🍫

Through my company, Italian Layers, I offer private catering for any occasion — from single-box tiramisù treats to office fika spreads, wedding tiramisù cakes, and much more.

Whether it’s a small indulgence or a big celebration, there’s always a reason for tiramisù! And because everyone deserves to enjoy it, I also offer gluten-free, lactose-free, nut-free, and even vegan versions — without compromising on taste, of course. 😉

I also dream of dessert pop-ups, tiramisù tastings, and maybe even workshops to share my craft. If you have a sweet tooth and a love for authentic Italian desserts as much as I do, let’s connect. After all, good tiramisù isn’t just a treat—it’s an experience worth sharing. ✨
