Savona Traditional Food Tour

Savona is a seaport and a municipality in the Liguria Region. It is a cruise embarkation point and provides access to beautiful coastal territory.

​

Walking through the narrow streets of the historical center of Savona, we will find out together the oldest eateries, with their delicious and traditional  dishes, enriched by delicately-flavored extra-virgin olive oil (typical from this side of Liguria).

​

This dining experience incorporates five traditional dishes served in different eateries. We will be starting with an entrée, and ending with a typical Italian dessert or a delicious ice-cream.
