With the traditional tour, delve into the flavors that define Genoa’s culinary heritage, from the renowned pasta al pesto to cheese focaccia and more, with at least four stops at authentic restaurants and historic take-away spots.
Our street food tour highlights the city’s favorite quick bites, leading you to the most famous street foods, from crispy focaccia to the delightful fried fish cone.
For those seeking something unique, the gourmet food tour offers a taste of traditional Genoese dishes with a modern flair, visiting both historic restaurants and contemporary city bistros, and uncovering new interpretations of the city’s beloved flavors.
- Chiesa di San Pietro in Banchi - A taste of Genoa’s iconic pesto sauce is included in all three tour options. The classic basil pesto sauce originated in the city, and you’ll savor the authentic recipe made with fresh local basil, pine nuts, and other traditional ingredients.
- Cattedrale di San Lorenzo - Duomo di Genova - No trip to Genoa is complete without trying the famous focaccia with cheese. This specialty from Recco, a nearby village, features two thin layers of dough filled with creamy Stracchino cheese, offering a soft, gooey, and unforgettable bite. This delicious treat is included in all three tour options.
- Piazza delle Erbe - Focaccia is a true staple of Genoa and a must-try for any food enthusiast. Enjoy it for breakfast, as offered on the gourmet tour, or anytime during the day, just like the locals do, as included in the other two tour options. Soft, golden, and slightly salty, this iconic bread embodies the essence of Genoese tradition in every bite.
- Piazza Raffaele De Ferrari - At the tour’s conclusion, indulge in a sweet finale. On the gourmet tour, this might be a traditional dessert from a historic pastry shop, while on the other tours, a refreshing artisanal ice cream made with the finest local ingredients is served, providing a delightful end to your Genoa tasting experience.
