The Old School Little Italy Food Tour is a tour that unveils the hidden cuisine of the Italians--the way they really eat at home.
This is the food of nonna--the way she cooked and baked for her family back in the day in Little Italy. If you're looking for nouvelle cuisine--this tour is not for you.

Why is this food not really available at Italian restaurants everywhere. Well--quite frankly a lot of things on Italian American restaurant menus are items that Italians in Italy would not even recognize.But Americans perceive them to be the real McCoy ,so, if it sells, it serves.
Most Italians/restaurant owners eat rustic style at home. It's peasant food. It fills your tummy and warms your soul. It has heart. It's not arranged daintily on a plate. We'll leave that to the French, ok?

How do you taste this food?
Well, you can make fast friends with an Italian family and hope they invite you over.That could take awhile. Do you have that kind of time to burn? Or--the easiest way is to book our tour and the owner of Little Italy Tours Inc. will welcome you like family and whisk you around Little Italy to eat and drink with him the food his mother made for him when he was growing up Sicilian in Brooklyn. He orders special items buried in the menu (you have to know where to look) and things that are not on the menu that only Italians know about. Plus, his stories at the table will keep you entertained. And you'll feel like a local as you are introduced to friends of his all over the neighborhood. It's like you stepped back in time and now you have a friend in the Italian quarter.

There's plenty of interesting food to sample at four different Little Italy restaurants--a glass of wine is included. One thing is for sure. If you join us--you'll be telling all of your friends about the marvelous time you had in the Italian quarter. And you'll eat well and you'll have an adventure. And that is an offer you can't refuse.
