What you'll do

A food-filled experience like no other, a walking tour of North End will give you a taste of Italy right in the heart of Boston. Discover the city's unique blend of culture and cuisine on a Boston food tour. Each bite you take through the Little Italy area offers you insight into the city's rich past. Explore local markets, taste iconic New England seafood, and finish with a slice of famous Boston Cream Pie. Remember, Boston isn't just known for its history, but also its legendary food scene. Your Italian taste buds will thank you!

Immerse yourself in the Italian culture of Boston's North End on a food tour. Venture down the cobblestone streets, smell the fresh bread from bakeries, and taste some of the most authentic pasta dishes around. This neighborhood, packed with old-world charm, is your way to experience Boston's vibrant gastronomic scene. A North End Boston food tour is the perfect combination of food, fun, and a touch of history.

Boston's North End is the city's oldest residential community, and most recently, due to the large numbers of Italian immigrants arriving in the 19th century, it has gained its reputation as 'Little Italy'. The best way to get to know this fascinating Italian enclave in Boston is a food tour; eat your way through North End while learning about its famous residents.

With a never-ending list of top-quality restaurants serving up fresh handmade pasta, using family recipes passed down from Nonna, and countless bakeries serving up the sweetest Italian delicacies, there's nothing you won't be able to find as you stroll down Hanover street with your local expert foodie. You'll learn where the best Italian eats can be found, from freshly ground coffee to piping hot pizza. You'll head to both Moden Pastry and Mike's Pastry, leaving you to decide which one is home to Little Italy's best cannoli.

Get to know famous residents such as Paul Revere and Tony DeMarco, who once walked the same cobbled streets and narrow lanes, as you stroll through the neighborhood.


What's included

  • Your expert guide will show you where to get the best cannolis, coffees, pizzas and traditional bread in the area.
