Why Fazool? The name comes from fasul, Italian dialect word for beans, which became “fazool” in Italian-American slang. That’s AMORE!

Beans are found in kitchens across every region of Italy, each with its own varieties, recipes, and traditions. It's a fitting name for a company that's curious about what makes each place different, and how food connects us all. A little playful, a little nostalgic, and never too serious. Just like us.

Northern Italy for food-loving travelers

Fazool has been leading food tours across Northern Italy since 2017. We're a team of English-speaking writers, storytellers, and food lovers who dig deep into how the region really eats, with a particular love for the regional food traditions and stories of Lombardia and Piemonte.

We challenge clichés, taking you through bustling markets, behind kitchen doors, and into our favorite neighborhood spots. Along the way, you'll meet the people, discover the stories, and taste the traditions that make Northern Italy so delicious.

Our walking tours explore the food cultures of Milano, Como, and Torino, from historic markets and family-run shops to innovative artisans and neighborhood institutions. We connect what's on your plate to the people, history, and traditions behind it. With intimate small-group tours and private, custom experiences, we make every visit personal.
