It will make your Sanremo experience even greater!

Sunday lunch … a perfect place. - A beautiful place and extraordinarily good food. The view from the terrace is stunning. The antipasti a superb collation including local specialities. Regional wines were also impressive. Shrimp and scallops with green pea puree, tender polpo with crushed herbed potatoes, and an exemplary pannacotta with their own plum compote made a memorable meal. Our hosts were warm and welcoming … and fluent in several languages. The place is new, I believe. It deserves to be discovered and enjoyed … very highly recommended.

Roberta is the best ! - There is no words to describe how nice and adorable Roberta is !!! We enjoyed the Food Tour for my Bachelorette Party, and it was amazing. We liked everything about it : the food of course, the wine also, and all the little stories about the city that Roberta told us while she guided us through San Remo. Roberta was the highlight of the tour, and she made the week-end very special to us, with her presents, her surprises, and her good advices. I will definitely come back to do another tour with dear Roberta. Thanks for everything !

Viva Roberta - Roberta is an absolutely fantastic person! We had booked the food tour for 6 people, for a bachelor party and we were all delighted! Whether visiting the city, the different addresses and local specialties we tested, up to the little surprises Roberta had in store for us: it was perfect! With a kindness and patience, Roberta is a passionate person and knew how to communicate with us with a lot of good humor! I would go around Sanremo with her a thousand times if I had the chance. Thank you very much for this moment, it was a real pleasure! *Viva la Sposa y Roberta*

5 stars is not enough! - Roberta was a perfect guide! 5 stars are not even enough to thank her for this fabulous food tour. We were able to visit the old San Remo, Pina district, usually and surprisingly shunned by tourists. A beautiful place, all while tasting fabulous specialties! How lucky we were to meet such a kind and considerate person! Thanks again it was perfect! And welcome to the bridle team! Viva la sposa!

The best tour in San Remo - We had an amazing experience visiting and eating our way around San Remo ! Roberta is lovely, welcoming and generous, she led us through San Remo’s old town and shared with us the town’s history, stories and her gems of adresses. We discovered so many delicious specialties that we couldn’t have found on our own ! The tour is really worth it and I would recommend it to everyone coming to San Remo, honestly if you had to do only one thing on your trip there, it would be that ! Five stars are really not enough ! Thank you so much for your kindness Roberta ! We hope to see you again soon !

June is the month devoted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and not the deadly sin of pride. - The walk up into the Medieval town was so very interesting. Places of business were pointed out that had such a history behind them. Our guide was great! I am deleting my Viator app, as I notice, the Viator logo is rainbow now that it is the month of June. Viator should know June is the month devoted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and not the deadly sin of pride.
