Small-Group Food Tour

Four stops. One evening. 100% Milanese.

A 2-hour walking tour from Porta Romana to the Colonne di San Lorenzo, led by local guides — every dish is genuinely from Milan, not Sicily, not Rome, not the "Italy" tourists get everywhere else.

What you'll eat

No cannoli, no cacio e pepe, no tiramisù served because tourists expect it. Four dishes, and every one of them is actually Milanese.

Michetta con salame

Milan's own bread roll, filled the way a local bakery has always done it.

Mondeghili

Milanese-style meatballs — a dish most tourists never even hear the name of.

Risotto alla milanese

The one seated stop on the tour — the classic saffron risotto, done properly.

Dolce & coffee

A seasonal dessert to close the walk — panettone if you're visiting in winter.

Why no alcohol?

Groups get unpredictable once drinks are involved, and it changes the pace of the tour. Keeping it food-only means everyone stays comfortable, the tour works for any age, and you can join whatever time of day suits you.

A note on reviews

MichettaTours just launched, so there aren't hundreds of reviews yet. What you're getting instead: guides who've lived in Milan their whole lives, a route walked and tested in person, and small groups by design. The reviews will come with time.

Questions

How long is the tour?

About 2 hours, at an easy walking pace. One stop is seated (the risotto); the rest are quick, casual bites.

I don't drink alcohol — is this tour for me?

Yes. This tour was designed with zero alcohol required at any stop, so it works well for families, non-drinkers, and anyone who'd rather focus on the food.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Vegetarian options can usually be arranged with advance notice. Because stops are small, family-run spots, we can't guarantee against cross-contamination for severe allergies — get in touch before booking if you have concerns.

Where does the tour start and end?

The route runs from Porta Romana to the Colonne di San Lorenzo — full meeting point details are sent after booking.

How big are the groups?

Capped at 10 people — small enough that you'll actually hear your guide and can ask questions as you go, without a crowd around you.
