5.00This tour was a father's day gift for my husband. He is part Abruzze Italian and a foodie. We LOVED the tour. It's part history of the neighborhood and market with lots of delicious food along the way. This is a must for all visiting or if you are a residents who's never been to Bella Vista.
Great fun!

5.00Jacquie is a very knowledgable guide who certainly knows the Italian Market - its history, its value to the community, its vendors, and its food! Her choices for tastings were perfect. Thanks to all the shop/ restaurant owners!

5.00Well done and interesting. Jacquie had a great relationship with all the merchants she took us to. Her knowledge of the Italian Market or 9th Street Market, as I have heard it called occasionally, was fascinating. One can see that she was from here and her heart is still on 9th Street. The choices of shops was spot on. My only suggestion is to include a pasta shop in the future.
