Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar on Utopia of the Seas # #royalcaribbean #utopiaoftheseas
Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar on Royal Caribbean’s Utopia of the Seas Not a specialty dining person? This space is still available to you and one of the most missed spaces. We love to gather in this space – you can still be connected to the ship but in a space that you can hear each other and the views of the dining room are stunning. As usual – I like to know more so here is some information from my best friend Gemini! #royalcaribbean #Giovannis #utopiaoftheseas #cruising #cruisedining Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar • 🚢 Fleet Footprint Royal Caribbean has been rolling out this modern concept to replace older formats like Giovanni’s Table and Jamie’s Italian. You can find the upgraded Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar style on select ships across the fleet, including Utopia of the Seas, Icon of the Seas, Wonder of the Seas, Odyssey of the Seas, and Freedom of the Seas. • 👨👦 The Backstory (The Lore) In Royal Caribbean’s storyline for the venue, "Giovanni" is the fictional son of the creator of the original Giovanni’s Table. The Kitchen represents cooking with Nonna (grandmother) using classic family recipes, while the Wine Bar pays tribute to Nonno (grandfather) and his vineyard. • 🍕 World-Class Pizza Connection The signature pizzas are serious business! Royal Caribbean partnered with world-renowned Master Pizza Chef Renato Viola to design the dough recipe and train the cruise line's chefs. They bake them in an electric oven that blasts at 900°F (the legal limit allowed on a cruise ship) to rival authentic Neapolitan pies. • 🍷 Exclusive Wine Program While the standard wine list mirrors favorites found around the ship, the dedicated wine bar features specialized Italian vintages, flights, and curated pairings (such as their custom Sorella and Fratello selections) paired with artisan cheeses that aren't featured at the main dining rooms or standard ship bars.
