Itinerary

• Milan

• Piacenza (1.5h)

Welcome to the town that serves both your palate and your eyes! Before exploring its food scene, meet the architectural beauty of its squares and historical streets. Then you’re ready to experience what the town producing the biggest amount of PDO cured meats and D.O.C wines in Italy has to offer regarding food! Check our handpicked restaurants and pick the ones for your liking!

Osteria d'Una Volta: Warm atmosphere, fulfilling food that melts in your mouth. Better reserve your table ahead since it’s a small place and is always full! 

  • Ristorante Castiglia: Gourmet food presented like an artwork in the historical center of Piacenza!

  • Osteria del Trentino: Loved by locals for its true representation of traditional dishes with a modern twist.

• The Museum of Culatello (Antica Corte Pallavicina) (1.5h)

• Learn about the hundreds of years old traditions of foodmaking that’s the backbone of not only this region, but also the country!

  • Visit the ancient aging cellars and get the true sense of delicacy and effort involved in the process

  • Explore the Po Forest, the open air extension of the museum, where you get to discover the Po river floodplain and their wild breeding black pigs!

• Parma (2.5h)

The core of this tour—UNESCO City of Gastronomy and a renowned gourmet center, Parma. The pretty streets here will lead you to the markets and restaurants serving mouth-watering food! Plus, we know just where to buy the perfect parmesan cheese as a souvenir. 

Weekly markets in Parma: Shop fresh produce by farmers, vintage goods, and antiques, open 6 days a week, somewhere different in the city (prepare cash!) 

  • Ristorante Cocchi: A restaurant that exudes tradition and professionalism at the same time. Book your table before for a true Parmigiana experience.
