If you’ve ever sat at an Italian table—whether in a quiet countryside trattoria or a bustling city café—you’ve probably felt it. That something extra in the air. The way conversations stretch long into the night, how the food isn’t rushed, and how every bite seems to carry a story. In Italy, food isn’t just something we eat—it’s how we live, how we love, and how we welcome you in.
But here’s the thing: the real magic of Italian cuisine doesn’t come from the famous dishes you’ve seen on Instagram. To truly experience Italy’s culinary soul, you need to get a little lost. You need to go beyond the tourist menus and into the hands of the people who make food from the heart, following traditions passed down through generations.
At FuorITinerario – Discover Your Italy, that’s exactly where we love to take you: behind the scenes, into the kitchens, markets, vineyards, and bakeries that locals cherish—and that most travelers never find.
Let us show you what we mean.
Venice: Small Plates, Big Stories
Most people come to Venice for the canals and gondolas. But if you follow a local into the quieter corners of the city, you’ll find something even more enchanting: the bacaro.
These small, often family-owned wine bars are where Venetians go to unwind, chat, and snack on cicchetti—bite-sized delights served with a glass of local wine. Think creamy whipped baccalà, grilled octopus, and polenta topped with marinated vegetables. Each plate is a little snapshot of the lagoon’s history, and every bacaro has its own personality.
Our guides know the ones tucked away from the crowds—the places where the owner still knows everyone’s name and where recipes are kept like family secrets. We’ll take you shopping at the Rialto market in the early morning, where stalls overflow with glistening seafood and fragrant herbs, and then duck into a tiny bacaro where you’ll feel like a guest, not a tourist.
It’s Venice as you’ve never tasted it.
Tuscany: From Earth to Table
You’ve seen the postcards: golden hills, rows of cypress trees, and vineyards stretching toward the horizon. But beyond the picture-perfect scenery, Tuscany holds an even richer treasure—its deep connection to the land and the food it produces.
Traveling with us means going beyond the well-known wine estates and into the heart of family-run wineries where time slows down. You’ll meet winemakers who still crush grapes by hand and age their Chianti in ancient cellars carved into stone. They’ll pour you a glass, share their stories, and teach you what makes Tuscan wine so special—not just the flavor, but the philosophy behind it.
And then there’s the olive oil. We’ll take you into groves where trees are hundreds of years old, their twisted trunks shaped by generations of care. You’ll walk the land, smell the fresh-pressed oil, and learn to taste it properly—by sipping, not dipping!—with a local producer who treats each drop like gold.
This is Tuscany in its purest form: authentic, grounded, and alive with tradition.
Naples: Where Passion Is on the Plate
Ah, Naples. Wild, passionate, and bursting with flavor. This city lives and breathes through its food, and you can feel it in every corner—especially the ones tourists often miss.
Yes, pizza was born here (and yes, we’ll absolutely take you to try a proper Margherita in a tiny pizzeria where the oven has been burning since the 1800s). But Naples is so much more than pizza. It’s the smell of fresh sfogliatella curling through the streets in the early morning, it’s fried cuoppo from a street vendor who’s been perfecting the recipe for decades, and it’s the sound of laughter from families sharing meals that last for hours.
Our guides will walk you through the narrow alleys of the historic center, where every building has a story, and every doorway hides a culinary surprise. You’ll meet bakers who fold thousands of pastry layers by hand, cheesemakers crafting fresh mozzarella each morning, and pizzaioli whose entire lives are dedicated to one perfect dish.
In Naples, food isn’t just sustenance—it’s celebration, identity, and love.
What It’s Really About
For us at FuorITinerario, food isn’t a checklist of must-eat dishes. It’s a way to connect—deeply and genuinely—with a place and its people. It’s the olive oil-soaked bread shared in a quiet countryside kitchen. It’s the sparkle in a grandmother’s eye as she stirs her tomato sauce. It’s the invitation to slow down, taste more carefully, and see the world a little differently.
When you travel with us, you’re not just dining—you’re discovering. You’re stepping into Italy’s heart, one bite at a time.
