Lucca Food Tour

This morning we had a walking food tour of Lucca. There was only 4 of us, and our wonderful guide Borana. First we walked around the town and she told us something about the history of Lucca, and pointed out some of the interesting buildings and streets. Lucca still has remnants of the Roman walls as well as the Medieval and Renaissance walls of today. There are many churches and also stone towers.
We went first to a pasticceria for coffee and sweets. We had a traditional Lucca cake called Buccellato, along with almond cookies, biscotti and chocolate. Then on to a Pizzaria that makes a simple pizza with just chickpea flour, water and pepper. Then on to the Anfiteatro square for wine and local beer, served with local pecarino cheese, mortadello, ham, several types of salami, olives and bread.
A great place to sit and relax and people watch!
