This was such a great experience. Alessandra was so informative and gave us great insight about the food and history. The food was great and we were made to feel welcome in each location. Thanks for a lovely day in Lucca.

We had a great day exploring the local food in Lucca. Five stops in total. 3 savory and two sweet. Was full but not stuffed, which was nice. Our guide, Giordano did an excellent job leading a group of 8 through the streets of Lucca.

Great way to spend the day and walk the city. Definitely stopped at spots we would have walked right past! Denia, our guide, was wonderful.
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.
While admiring the beautiful church and the lively square around it, we will taste the first traditional specialty of Lucca, the Buccellato, a sweet bread flavored with fruit and anise.
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 will stop to enjoy a plate of fresh local cold cuts, perfectly paired with a glass of red wine, while soaking in the lively atmosphere and beauty of Lucca.
On Via Buia, we will sample Cecina, a beloved Tuscan street food made from chickpea flour and 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.
