Block Parties are always a great way to get to know your neighbors, so Giada decides to take charge of her neighborhood event and make it extra special. She plans a party at the end of her cul de sac with each neighbor showcasing their favorite family foods. Giada's menu foregoes the typical outdoor party food with chic and out of the ordinary dishes.

Giada spends Halloween afternoon preparing delicious treats to celebrate the fall season. The cool part is that these trick-or-treats are homemade and would satisfy any sweet tooth year-round. Giada's girlfriends stop by with their kids to sample the goodies before heading out into the neighborhood to trick or treat. Giada surprises them with a professional face painter who transforms their faces for the big night.

It is a trip down memory lane. Giada is inspired to create a nostalgic Italian meal after looking through old photos of her childhood in Rome. Family members visit Giada in the kitchen as she cooks a menu that highlights some of her favorite Italian food memories. Lifestyle elements include an excursion to The Cheese Shop in Beverly Hills for fresh Mozzarella from Italy.
