About this tour
This 3.5-hour Verona food tour takes you through the city's backstreet trattorias and neighbourhood spots where locals actually eat. You'll taste Veronese classics—from risotto all'amarone to pandoro—while your guide shares stories about the dishes and the places that serve them. Lunch is included, and you'll meet fellow travellers keen on proper regional food rather than tourist menus.

What to expect
Expect to walk at a steady pace between 4–5 stops across central Verona, pausing to eat and chat at each one. Your guide will unlock doors to places frequented by residents—the kind of spots you wouldn't find on Google Maps. You'll taste savoury courses first, then move towards something sweet. The group is small and mixed, so conversation flows naturally over food. Allow two to three hours of actual eating and standing; the rest is walking and listening.
