5.00Our party of five had a delightful time on this tour. The food was delicious, plentiful and getting to know the the other tour guests was a fun addition to the experience. Adriana, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the area’s history and very hospitable. She reached out to me in advance with parking recommendations, which was much appreciated and quite helpful. This is a must-do!

5.00Anthony had a deep knowledge base not only about the neighborhood and local restaurants but also Italian cuisine history making the tour interesting for "non-foodies". Surprisingly, most of the group members were locals, including us, but we all learned something about the neighborhood and Italian food history that made it extra enjoyable. Highly recommend for locals and tourists.
Fantastic
