Your guide, a knowledgeable local, will impart fascinating tips about each delicacy you sample and provide historical and cultural context for the areas you visit, an excellent way to connect with the soul of the city.

You'll delight in 4-5 tastings, starting with savory bites like focaccia Ligure and pizza, which provide a taste of Italian traditions from differing regions. You'll likely also try montanarine (small, deep-fried pizzas from Naples), panzanella (a Tuscan summer salad), and panzerotti (a savory, fried type of calzone from Central and Southern Italy). You'll then get to satisfy your sweet tooth with a cannolo Siciliano (cannoli from Sicily) or a refreshing gelato, both quintessential Italian treats. Each tasting will be paired with a glass of wine.
