“Little Italy” in Boston is filled with history, ethnic heritage and authentic Italian food. The North End Market Tour is a walking tour that is like a cooking class on foot: glean insider cooking tips; gain resources and knowledge on how to identify and where to buy the very best ingredients. (Old World" as they are, many of the stores we'll be visiting sell their products online as well.)

• Discover the pasticcerias that offer the best biscotti, amaretti, sfogliatelle, cannoli and other confections.

• Savor the scents of a 79-year-old coffee and spice shop and an Old World candy store.
• Tour an enoteca to learn how to select aperitivi to begin, wine to complement, and digestivi to conclude your meal.
• Enjoy the colorful sights, the tantalizing aromas and authentic tastes of America's most vibrant Italian neighborhood.

Sample authentic flavors and discover healthy Mediterranean traditions as you get an insider’s view of one of the premier food neighborhoods in the country. As you will see, gli ingredienti veraci - authentic Italian ingredients - are the key to la bellissima cucina italiana.
