Description
Discover Genoa through its maritime food traditions, family-run eateries, and medieval streets on a private food experience tailored to your tastes, featuring 6–8 tastings.
Genoa's food tells the story of a city shaped by centuries of maritime trade, where new ingredients, flavours, and traditions arrived from across the Mediterranean to create a culinary culture unlike anywhere else in Italy. From the birthplace of pesto and the irresistible aroma of freshly baked focaccia to handmade pasta and fresh seafood, every specialty reflects the city's rich heritage and enduring connection to the sea.

As you explore landmarks such as Via Garibaldi, the Porto Antico, and hidden corners of the historic centre, you'll enjoy 8 food tastings featuring bakery favorites, street food, and local specialties. Along the way, your host will bring Genoa's culinary heritage to life through stories of its famous pesto, centuries-old olive oil traditions, maritime history, and the everyday flavours that continue to define one of Italy's most authentic food cities.
