La Spezia Food Tour

At the selected time, we'll start our food tour in Piazza Garibaldi, where our guide and expert in local cuisine will be waiting for us. Together, we'll explore the 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. We'll try various offerings, from finger foods like farinata (chickpea flour pancakes), sgabei (fritters), and fried anchovies and squid prepared by fishermen, to more substantial courses such as pasta with walnut sauce and mesciua (grain and legume soup).

A unique dish we'll taste is testaroli, which varies by preparation; when boiled with pesto, cheese, and mushrooms, or baked with cold cuts and cheese, it becomes panigaccio.

The tour concludes with a taste of the best artisanal gelato in town. After three and a half hours of exploring La Spezia's culinary scene, we’ll say goodbye to our guide, ending our gastronomic experience.
