Amazing food tour!

Had a fantastic time with Anthony. As a local, he is extremely knowledgeable and makes you feel like a VIP in Little Italy. The choice of restaurants and dishes was excellent; rather than basic Italian dishes, we got to try several unique dishes, many of which had great stories behind them. If Little Italy is in your San Diego itinerary, you must try this food tour!

Food Treasures from Italy

If you visit San Diego ( or live in/close to), you must include Anthony's tour of Little Italy! History, suspense, a wealth of information, and DELICIOUS food! Anthony provided history, ingredient, and preparation information for every dish we were served. He has chosen treasures from Italy that he is so proud of to share, and every one was a hit. This type of tour was out of our comfort zone, but there wasn't an awkward moment - Anthony is the ultimate host and the group is "familia" right away. Sharing a few pics, but no description so you can come find out for yourself!

Restaurant experience

This was a great tour of different t restaurants in Little Italy and trying the local cuisine. From the experience I have saved the restaurants to come back and eat my next time in San Diego.

Incredible!!! A must do in San Diego!

This tour is worth every penny!! Anthony is an incredible story teller and a fountain of knowledge about Little Italy. The history him and his family have in San Diego is rich and fascinating. Not only do you get delicious local Italian food, but an appreciation for the area, all accompanied by an incredibly talented and welcoming host.
