"Coriander is the worst enemy of Italians" - Giorgio Bargiani 

On mixologist Giorgio Bargiani's menu: grandfather's caffè corretto, dining out always in Pisa, and discovering spices in the UK. 

Sides include: the Beauty and the Beast, the most important job of a bartender (it's not making the drink), and the best pizza in the world. 

Giorgio's social cause is the Drinks Trust UK, a trade charity providing financial assistance, emotional support, and opportunity for growth to drinks industry people.
