The best private food tours in Milan

As Italy’s fabulous fashion capital, Milan keeps its stylish spirit alive in its food scene. Sure, there’s no lack of family-run trattorias and humble eateries that have been going for decades. But on food tours in Milan, you’ll experience a trendier, more modern attitude towards Italian eating. There’s the super-cool aperitivo spots in the trendy Navigli neighborhood, sleek eateries in bohemian Brera, and a grungy bar scene in graffiti-lined Isola. Food tours of Milan prove that the best restaurants in Milan take many forms. With a food-loving (and fashionable) local guide, you can explore all these places and more. It’s time to see how the global design capital does dinner!

Unforgettable meals in Milan

On food tours in Milan, you don’t struggle to find places to eat. Do a quick Google, and you’ll be offered an endless stream of suggestions. But who would you trust to give you the best options: TripAdvisor list, or a Milanese insider who’s fully scoped out the food scene and knows where to go for all the local favorites? On a City Unscripted food tour in Milan, you won’t end up at a tourist trap or an inauthentic eatery catering solely to travelers. Instead, you’ll get to experience the hidden gems and holes-in-the-wall without an English menu in sight. It doesn’t get better than that!

The birthplace of aperitivo

Milan food tours of any kind would be incomplete without experiencing the iconic Italian tradition of aperitivo – a pre-dinner appetizer of pizza, salads, cheeses, olives, and breads (but if the food is too good, you can stay through dinner!) Milan is famous for having some of the best aperitivo bars in all of Italy. Why? Because this is the city that invented it! As the sun is setting over the centuries-old canals, let your food tours of Milan take you to the oh-so trendy Navigli neighborhood – a famous canalside district where all the best aperitivo spots can be found.

Food tours tailored to you

Not the biggest fan of traditional Italian staples like pizza and pasta? No problem! The on-the-go gourmet sandwiches the city has perfected might be more to your taste. With City Unscripted, food tours in Milan are planned according to your foodie preferences. Just let us know what you like to eat and we’ll plan personalized Milan food tours especially for you! Sure, savory is always great, but if a sugar rush is what you seek, you might pop into a local pasticceria and indulge in a classic cornetto, or sip an espresso at a cobbled sidewalk café as you watch well-heeled locals strut about their day.

Marco was outstanding!!! We talked about what we wanted to see, and he delivered! We enjoyed this tour tremendously. Marco’s knowledge was amazing, and you could really sense the pride he had in his city. His approach was top notch. I feel like we got the best tour of Milan possible. We couldn’t be happier.

I recently had a wonderful half day walking tour in Milan with Ilaria. She showed me both the old and the new Milan, areas I would never have found on my own. We stopped at a lovely café for a break, and it was a hidden gem. I highly recommend Ilaria as a guide to the city.
