What you can expect

Explore the flavours of Genoa on a guided food tour through the city’s historic streets and seaside alleys. Over 3 to 3.5 hours, enjoy a full tasting experience with drinks included across multiple delicious stops. Your English-speaking guide will share the stories, traditions, and culture behind every bite. The tour runs in a small group, ensuring a relaxed and personal experience.

Begin your journey with pasta with pesto, Genoa’s most iconic dish, made with fragrant Ligurian basil, pine nuts, and aged cheeses, served with fresh trofie or trenette pasta.

Continue with traditional savoury pies, tasting local specialities like torta pasqualina or rich onion pie, baked in historic sciamadde and rooted in centuries of home cooking.

Along the way, enjoy focaccia al formaggio, a thin, delicate dough filled with creamy stracchino cheese, baked until golden and irresistibly light.

Savour fried squid and fresh anchovies, prepared simply to highlight their delicate flavours, reflecting Genoa’s deep connection to the Ligurian Sea.

Taste frisceu, small golden fritters made with a light batter and seasonal ingredients, a beloved local street snack often enjoyed with wine.

End your experience on a sweet note with artisan gelato, crafted with fresh local ingredients, followed by a traditional Italian espresso—perfect for concluding your journey through Genoa’s rich culinary culture.
