About La Spezia
La Spezia is a working port city with a Ligurian kitchen behind it — anchovies from the Gulf, olive oil from the hills, and pesto pounded the old way — and it doubles as the gateway to the Cinque Terre and the islands. You can taste that directly on the La Spezia: Taste Cinque Terre Food Tour with Local Guide, which walks you through local producers with a guide, or pair the coastline with a table on the La Spezia: Portovenere Sunset or Lunch Boat Tour with Local Food, where the meal comes with the view.

Frequently asked questions
La Spezia sits between the sea and the Ligurian hills, so its food is built on anchovies, salted cod, focaccia, and pesto made with local basil and olive oil rather than the richer dishes of inland regions. Many experiences here combine tasting with the water itself, such as boat tours that serve local food, or hands-on pasta and tiramisu classes.
