- Ponte della Vittoria - The first stop is a charming, historic tavern near the Basilica di San Lorenzo, where you can enjoy a traditional Veronese aperitif. Savor freshly made crostini filled with local ingredients, perfectly paired with a glass of exquisite local wine—an authentic beginning to your journey.
- Via Sottoriva - The tour continues at a traditional osteria near the beautiful Basilica di Santa Anastasia, where you can enjoy one of the more iconic dishes of Veronese cuisine: Polenta with Pastissada, with soppressa, or with cod fish. A robust glass of red wine is the perfect complement to these hearty dishes.
- Piazza delle Erbe - Finally, the Verona culinary adventure concludes in the vibrant Piazza delle Erbe. Here, you can indulge in Risino, a delightful dessert from Veronese tradition, or perhaps enjoy a refreshing gelato to complete the experience. This sweet treat is the perfect conclusion to a tour that has been as much about history as it has been about taste.

Amazing! Even after we showed up late! Emanuela is fantastic - Extra props to this tour and our tour guide, our train ran very behind schedule, so we were an hour late. However the tour guide gave us directions so we could jump right in the middle of the tour. The food was great and Emanuela was a fantastic guide. She was very knowledgeable and took us places we wouldn’t have thought or even tried to go. Very much worth it if you want to experience the food in Verona with the Italian culture. And again, major praise for Emanuela. Even after the tour we had walked the same direction away, and she stayed an extra 20 minutes and showed us where we could get Italian coffee to take home. 10/10!

Fabulous food tour with Giuli. - Delicious food and an interesting and informative few hours with Giuli. Would recommend as a great start to a holiday. Giuli took us to places that we later revisited and would not have otherwise found. Thanks.

Giulia was a delight and this walking food tour was a fun and dleicious way to spend the afternoon in Verona!! - I can't imagine a better guide than Giulia to host me and my Mom on a private culinary tour of Verona! Giulia was kind, witty and knowledgeable about the food, wine and culture. She showed us spots we wouldn't have otherwise discovered and gave us recommendations for things to do after the tour. It felt like we were spending the day with a friend or family member. Highly recommend!

A fun walk through Verona with a great guide and opportunity to try unusual delicious foods - We had very little time to spend in Verona, but I thought a food tour would be a fun and unique part of our trip to Italy and a great way to get to know this region. I was right! We had a wonderful young woman guide all to ourselves for a great afternoon. It was five of us in our group. We started at a small restaurant for appetizers, then she walked us about ten minutes to another place for a first course. Then another walk to a different restaurant for the second course. Followed by a final walk to a really authentic (non-touristy) gelato place. The walking through Verona was part of the fun. Our guide shared lots of info about food traditions that are unique to the city and region. We had the opportunity to try things we had never eaten before-including donkey meat (If no one had told me what it was I wouldn't have known-it was delicious!). Everyone in our group loved this experience and considered it a great highlight of our trip. Highly recommended!
