Excursion Little italy – a boston foodie walking tour tour at Boston

Enjoy a leisurely walking tour of Boston's North End, Little Italy. Your journey starts in the Deep South of Italy — Sicily. We try regional delicacies such as arancini and Sicilian pizza. We then push up to Naples, where we experience authentic Neapolitan pizza in the only certified oven to come from Italy. We also make a slight detour to the Amalfi Coast, to Sorrento, for authentic gnocchi alla sorentina. ?

From there we venture to a beloved neighborhood wine shop, where you will learn all about the process of wine making; from the influence of soils and weather to how wine gets its color. Next, you will learn about the history of olive oil and how to distinguish authentic extra virgin olive oil over immitation oils. We will continue our journey to Umbria, and Modena where we will try 12-year-aged balsamic vinegar. We then hop next door to Parma for the best prosciutto outside of Emilia Romagna, and then go to the other great island of Sardinia. There we will have a special sheep’s milk cheese, all while taking in the best Italian market in the city. ?

We will go back in time to a coffee and spice shop that is the oldest retail shop still standing. We will meander down a back alley and discover an artisan bakery. The bakers brought a starters dough yeast all the way from Naples that’s over 160 years old. Just when you thought your day could not get any better, we end with a cannoli and some gelato - all of them are the best in the neighborhood. You will definitely walk away from the North End with a new sense of appreciation for Boston's Little Italy! ?
