Nicoletta guided us through Lucca as we tasted the local specialties including pecorino, cured meats, tordelli , cecina, and buccellato. We also enjoyed a glass of local wine and tastes of 3 chocolates. Nicoletta pointed out various places of interest and took us though a section of the city’s amazing walls.

We begin our journey in one of Lucca’s main squares, bordered by majestic XVI-century palaces. As we cross this vibrant hub, we’ll head towards our first stop to dive into the local culinary delights.
As we admire the beautiful church and the surrounding square, we’ll sample the first traditional dish of Lucca: the Buccellato, a delicious sweet bread filled with fruit and anise. We’ll take 30 minutes to savor this local treat and enjoy the sights.
Next, we’ll make our way through Piazza Anfiteatro, the most iconic and picturesque spot in Lucca. We’ll stroll around this uniquely shaped square, once the site of a Roman amphitheater, before heading to the next stop on our gastronomic journey.
At this characteristic stop in the heart of the walled city, we’ll indulge in a plate of Tordelli, a traditional Lucca pasta filled with meat and herbs, served in a rich, savory sauce. A true taste of the region’s culinary tradition.
As we continue our walk through the charming streets of Lucca, we’ll pass by the iconic Torre Guinigi, a medieval tower with a unique garden at its summit, offering a glimpse into the city’s fascinating history.
In this lovely square, we’ll stop to enjoy a plate of fresh, local cold cuts, perfectly complemented by a glass of red wine, as we soak in the lively atmosphere and beauty of Lucca.
On Via Buia, we’ll sample Cecina, a beloved Tuscan street food made from chickpea flour, served warm and savory. This iconic dish is a true local favorite!
We’ll wrap up our food tour with a sweet treat along Via San Paolino, where we’ll indulge in some local chocolate and a traditional dessert, leaving you with the perfect ending to this delicious exploration of Lucca’s culinary offerings.
