Baltimore Little Italy And Jonestown Guided Food Tour

Take a stroll on our cultural Food Tour of Little Italy and Jonestown. Traverse through the areas where our first immigrants came to settle into Baltimore, now the neighborhoods of Little Italy and Jonestown.

Take a walk with us through the neighborhood rich with history and authentic Italian cuisine and hear the stories that make this neighborhood so rich with culture. We will enjoy different Italian specialties that have been passed down from generation to generation, and see important gathering spots as well as centers for sports and religion.

We will also visit Jonestown, once a predominately Jewish enclave, and still home to Baltimore's "Corn Beef Row," the Baltimore Jewish Museum, and numerous historic sights.

Your food tour may include the following:

  • Fresh house-made pasta
  • Knishes from the area's oldest running Jewish Deli
  • Grilled fresh dough pizzas
  • Traditional house-made meatballs
  • Tiramisu from the baker claiming to have invented the dessert
  • All dishes served are included in the tour.

Enough food is served that for most participants, dinner afterward will not be needed. Seating and special service is provided at all restaurants throughout the tour.
