Eloisa comes over to the house to hang with Giada, while the kids, Julian and Jade, enjoy a play date.

Giada prepares an Italian themed meal for her friends Sandra and Diana, who are taking Italian language classes. Giada makes Bruschetta With Shrimp, Tarragon and Arugula, Pasta alla Formiana and Stracciatella Semifreddo.

Giada creates a tiki-style party, complete with Hawaiian music, in her own backyard. Even the menu has an island flare: Tilapia Fish Tacos With Arugula, Sweet and Spicy Chicken Drumettes and an Aloha L.A. Cocktail.
