La Spezia Food Tour

Our food tour begins at the designated time in Piazza Garibaldi with our guide, an expert in local cuisine. We will explore the flavors representing the culinary tradition of La Spezia, rooted in Ligurian and Tuscan gastronomy.

The tour will take place in the charming historic center of La Spezia and includes five stops. We will sample various items, including farinata (thin pancakes made from chickpea flour), sgabei (bread dough fritters), and fried anchovies and squid prepared by fishermen. More substantial options will include pasta with walnut sauce and mesciua (a grain and legume soup).

We will also taste a dish known as testaroli, served boiled with pesto, parmesan cheese, and mushrooms, or panigaccio, when baked and accompanied by cold cuts and cheese.

To conclude, we will indulge in the best artisanal gelato in town, ensuring we leave room for dessert. After three and a half hours of culinary exploration, we will bid farewell to our guide, marking the end of our gastronomic experience.
