Itinerary
We will meet in Piazza Garibaldi, next to the statue of the same name, where our local guide will be waiting for us. This gastronomic expert will accompany us to discover the Pisan culinary tradition, which, like that of Tuscany, has always been synonymous with excellence. Feeling a little peckish? Then follow us!
We will start walking through the streets of the historic center, in search of the more traditional flavors of local cuisine … How about a platter of Tuscan cheeses and cold cuts with a good Spritz? We will taste these delicacies in the Pizzateca a local bar in Pisa! Of course, not even a portion of cecina can be missing, a very thin focaccia prepared with chickpea flour, a real must of Pisan gastronomy and the típical pizza we made in the city which is different from other places in Italy, Pizzeria L’Arancio will take care of us in this part of the tour.
During the tour we will discover restaurants known only by the locals, like Ir Tegame Spaghetteria Da Raffa, where we will be delighted by the typical dishes of the gastronomy of Pisa, such as the wild board pasta and the pappa al pomodoro typical plates of the area. Everything with a good glass of wine or an artigianal beer. We will finish with the dessert cantuccini con Vin santo really typical of Tuscany.
With this tour you belly will be full!!! This is not a tour to taste and try, this is a tour to eat and drink!! After having broadened our culinary horizons for three hours, we will say goodbye to the guide and we will conclude the tour of the Pisan gastronomy.
