What a great afternoon!! - Fantastic time on tour! Anthony has so many great stories about growing up there and how the community was a great big family. Food was excellent and all staff at places were very friendly. Highly recommend a fun filled 2 1/2 hours of fantastic food and company.

Delicious tour led by a local - Like a good tomato sauce, Anthony’s tour of the North End has the right balance of flavors. There’s a dash of salt, but it never dominates. He’s a kind host who guided our group on a well organized trek through local history and an outstanding tasting menu.

Fun & Delicious Tour! - This tour was great!! Having a native of the neighborhood show us around, share personal, irreverent anecdotes and feed us super delicious food in places we’d have never found on our own was amazing. We visited some really cool places and sampled several dishes I’d never even heard of before and excellent renditions of dishes we already knew & loved. Anthony was fun and funny. I’d do this tour again in a heartbeat!

Great North End Food Tour! - My wife and I went with another couple on 01/30/2026. From what he said, the coldest tour he's ever done! I had done a north end food tour a few years ago and was curious how this one would compare. No question, Anthony's tour was so much better! Because he grew up in the North End you get a real feel for what it was like living there. He's a real story teller so if you like that sort of thing, you can't go wrong. As far as the food, you definitely won't go away hungry. He'll take you to these little mom and pop places that are like stepping back in time. We had 11 people which I think is a good size to get into the places and hear Anthony talk. This isn't the tour for you if you want to hear about Paul Revere's house or the great molasses flood. This is the tour for you if you want to know about growing up in an Italian neighborhood, how it was when Anthony was a child to how it's changed over the years, want to take a step back in time to experience how some of the few remaining mom and pop businesses are run, and enjoy some great food!
