5.00Hello! I attended this tour with a group of friendly people and tour guide, Adriana. It was absolutely lovely! I learned a lot of history and the food was terrific! I enjoyed salad, risotto, gnocchi, pizza, beef polenta, flash fried artichokes, etc. I will be returning to Little Italy in the future. I highly recommend this tour. If you decide to do this tour, make sure you come with an empty stomach. You will be given several dishes that will fill your tummy!!!!
