Here’s my pick of Genoa food tours, all heavy on pesto, focaccia, and fried snacks from the old friggitorie. Pesto was born in this city and still gets pounded in marble mortars, with basil grown just west at Pra’. Locals dunk focaccia in morning cappuccino; give it two days and you will too.
Unravel the culinary tapestry of Genoa with the 'Do Eat Better Experience - Food Tours in Genoa,' where each bite holds a tantalizing story waiting to be savored.
