Gastronomic Tour

Description:
Please do not have breakfast as we will start our tour with a delicious coffee and pastry in a local historic coffee bar. Continuing through the medieval section of the city where Dante lived and past Santa Croce church, we reach the market of Sant’Ambrogio, the oldest market in town and open since 1873. You will find a lot of locals buying fruits and vegetables in the colorful stalls outside the market. Inside the building we will start our tasting experience with cured meats, cheeses, a glass of wine and ‘schiacciata’.
Leaving the Sant’Ambrogio market we will walk through the nice neighborhood tasting pizza and porchetta (or trippa and lampredotto if you prefer) in local street stalls.
We will end our morning at the Mercato Centrale, our other historic food market built in 1874, where we will taste top quality balsamic vinegars, truffle products and cantuccini (biscotti) and sweet wine.
We will end the tour with the best gelato in town!
If you are vegeterian/vegan or have any dietary restrictions, we can arrange personalized alternatives.
