Giuseppe and Giuditta, owners of G&G Pronto in Oskaloosa and property owners in Southern Italy, have spent their entire lives in Italy, where meals are not just about food but about connection, storytelling, and tradition. As they prepare each dish before you, they will share how their upbringing shaped their passion for cooking—from Giuditta’s tradition of setting a beautifully arranged table every evening, passed down from her grandmother and mother, to Giuseppe’s expertise in crafting dishes that highlight Italy’s finest flavors. Their love for authentic Italian cuisine and hospitality is woven into every dish they prepare.
This is not just a dinner—it’s a fully immersive experience where you become part of the culinary journey! Guests will have the opportunity to interact with the chefs, observe their time-honored techniques, and hear personal stories about the Italian traditions that inspire each dish.

Paola and Max are not only wine experts but also accomplished filmmakers. Having created and produced numerous films in Rome and Hollywood, they moved to Oskaloosa in 2020 to bring movie production to the Midwest—an emerging trend as Hollywood costs continue to rise. Recently, Oskaloosa welcomed a full film crew from Rome, Los Angeles, and Northern Italy, and Giuseppe and Giuditta catered for them daily throughout production. Their presence at this event guarantees engaging conversation, storytelling, and an unforgettable cultural experience alongside the exquisite food and wine.
