Even though we live locally, we had no knowledge of the history and great restaurant offerings in Little Italy. We had a most enjoyable evening with Anthony. He had so many interesting facts and entertaining stories to share. He also chose food items that were not only delicious but also new to us, so it was fun to try! Highly recommend this tour!

Thanks again for an amazing evening Anthony. The food was all wonderful!! My wife and I really enjoyed all your stories about the food origins and the history of the neighborhood. Extra special with all the Christmas lights and decorations.

The group was small enough, intimate enough to have a really good time! The food stops were yummy, and the stories were great! Would definitely do this again and highly recommend!

Adriana was the best guide we could have hoped for and we were part of a group that truly had a good time together!! We enjoyed amazing food along the way. Adriana gave us the history of this vibrant neighborhood and the families that shaped it !!

Anthony was most knowledgeable on Italy and Little Italy! We sampled foods from the various regions of Italy several of which we never had before this experience. Anthony was very entertaining for almost 4 hours and backed up his stories with photos. We especially liked the photo of the "body bag" of bread. Anthony introduced us to people in the neighborhood and we had great conversations with some of the residents. One citizen had just returned from Firenze and reminded us to "eat like a pig and drink like a fish". I feel like I know Little Italy and Big Italy much better now. In the future we will know where to go for fantastic food and unique atmosphere! Oh you have to see the actual "tree" from the movie Vanilla Sky.
