What people are saying
What an unforgettable experience! Lucrezia was an absolutely amazing guide knowledgeable, warm, and passionate about the local cuisine and culture. Every stop on the tour was thoughtfully curated, but my favorite by far was the pizza bruccetia. The flavors were incredibly enriching perfectly balanced, fresh, and bursting with authentic Italian character. You could tell it was made with love and tradition.
Lucrezia’s storytelling and insights brought every bite to life, turning the entire tour into more than just a tasting—it was a journey. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a genuine and delicious experience. Grazie mille, Lucrezia!
The pacing was great, the food stops were authentic, and it never felt touristy or staged. You could tell Edma really loves what she does and takes pride in showing off the city’s food culture.
Highly recommend if you want something local, fun, and actually worth the money. Five stars, no hesitation.
