La Spezia Food Tour

At the selected time, we'll start our food tour in Piazza Garibaldi, where our guide will be waiting for us. Together, we'll explore flavors that represent the culinary tradition of La Spezia, rooted in Ligurian and Tuscan gastronomy.

The route will take place in the historic center of La Spezia and includes five stops in different locales. We'll sample finger foods like farinata (chickpea flour pancakes), sgabei (fritters), and fried anchovies and squid made by local fishermen, along with substantial dishes such as pasta with walnut sauce and mesciua (a grain and legume soup).

Also on the menu is a dish that varies its name based on its preparation: when boiled with pesto, parmesan, and mushrooms, it’s called testaroli, and when baked with cold cuts and cheese, it’s panigaccio.

Lastly, we will indulge in the best artisanal gelato in town, so leave room for dessert! After three and a half hours of tasting La Spezia, we'll conclude our gastronomic experience with our guide.
