Nibble on Buccellato, a typical sweet bread made from simple ingredients. This baked product with ancient origins, originally with a circular and ring shape, has recently given way to oval versions that are more convenient to pack and transport.

At another stop on your walking tour, you can try cecina, a typical thin focaccia made with a mixture of chickpea flour, water, salt, and olive oil. Soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, this a must-have dish when visiting Tuscany.

Another typical Tuscan dish to try is tordelli, a pasta stuffed with all kinds of goodies including meat, cheese, chard, and mortadella, dressed with meat sauce or with oil and cacio cheese. Tordelli is a unique specialty that you can only find in Lucca.

Tuscany is famous for its cold cuts and Lucca is certainly no exception. Your food tour includes a stop to taste the best cold cuts in the area accompanied by a glass of local wine.

Your food tour ends at your 4th stop where you sample a selection of chocolates exclusively made in Tuscany, or an ice cream treat.
