Little Italy Walking Food Experience
Indulge in the flavors of San Francisco's beloved Italian-American neighborhood, North Beach. Your Bay Area local guide will lead you on a culinary adventure through this charming district, with iconic landmarks like Coit Tower and the Transamerica Pyramid as your backdrop.
As you stroll the mostly flat sidewalks, you'll discover a neighborhood steeped in history, where family-owned restaurants and bakeries have thrived since the early 1900s. You'll be treated to stories and personal interactions with the business owners and artisans whose families have nurtured these establishments for generations. Their passion for food and community is infectious and adds an authentic touch to your experience.
The best part? You don't need much to enjoy this tour — just comfortable shoes and a hearty appetite! We've got the rest covered, with all food and drinks included.
Prepare to tantalize your taste buds with a variety of Italian specialties, from the creamy goodness of a freshly brewed cappuccino or espresso that will transport you to the streets of Italy, to the savory delights of Arancini and deli favorites. Indulge in a classic cannoli, baked in the same brick oven for over a century, and sample an array of treats from the historic Molinari Delicatessen, a true North Beach staple. The tour culminates in a relaxing pizza experience at the renowned Mona Lisa Restaurant.
While you're at it, soak in the lively atmosphere of Stockton and Green streets, known for their music scene and Beatnik history. We happily cater to vegetarians and special dietary needs, ensuring everyone can join in the fun.
