Delightful dinner and host. only my wife and I were there with the host and the conversation was lively and food delicious!!

What a great informative, delicious tour! Chef Jacquie was very informative about the history of and what’s currently going on in the Italian Market area. We could not have asked for more ! Everywhere we stopped was absolutely delicious with attentive servers we frequently do food / cooking tours in most places we are fortunate enough to visit and if / when we get back to Philly we WILL look up Chef Jacquie again! Highly recommend this adventure she made it fun even in the pouring rain! Thank you Chef Jacquie!

What a super fun way to spend an afternoon with friends/family, while really learning about this charming, century-old community of immigrants & sample the the best of new chefs/entrepreneurs. This is my third tour with Jacquie and always full of learning, laughs, and insiders' viewpoint... come hungry and enjoy! Also, noted how all were very sensitive to allergies/issues and made easy accommodations seamlessly.

Chef Jackie was amazing! She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and kind and really set an amazing tone for the evening from the very start. Everyone in the tour became more and more friendly as we ate together and it was a great way to meet new people while on vacation. We were taken to some top quality gems in the area and all of the food was delicious! We certainly ate more than our fill and would definitely come back and do it again the next time we are in Philadelphia!

A friend of mine mentioned the StrEATS of Philly food tour and how much she enjoyed it. I thought it would be a special way to celebrate my son’s 30th birthday, and it was! We met Chef Jacquie on a Thursday evening and started off with some history around the Italian Market. We stopped for a wine and cheese tasting at DiBruno’s Bottle Shop, cannoli tasting at Isgro’s and a delicious family style dinner at Paesano’s. It was so enjoyable with Chef Jacquie, who is very informative and fun! We finished the evening at Cucina Maria’s for dessert. The experience certainly exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend it!

Great way to discover Philly. Chef Jaquie was a knowledgeable tour guide and the tastings were yummy.

Chef Jacquie was incredible! A very authentic tour with delicious food. A great team building activity. Thank you Jacquie

This is an excellent way to learn about the Italian Market, Italian history, and Italian food. All of our stops were carefully selected by our guide and were very upscale and delicious. We started with samples of meats, cheeses, sweets, and wine from several different shops and worked our way to an absolutely fabulous, made-from-scratch dinner. Words cannot say how delicious the food was. We had a fun dessert ending of Italian Ice over ice cream. What a refreshing and fun way to end our tour. Jackie was an interesting and excellent tour guide and expert chef as she led us through so many delightful taste experiences.

We had a great time! Jacqui is full of stories from living in the Italian Market area and everyone knows her. It's not totally clear on TripAdvisor but you walk to a few shops for sample and then sit down for a three course dinner that was DELICIOUS. I'm a student and she gave me a list of when and where to get the cheapest produce, tortillas, etc. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful afternoon and early dinner. Jacquie is a lifelong resident of the area and knew so much of the history and evolution of the market area. She made yummy recommendations for snacks at the shops and for dinner. I loved the Nutella Cheesecake. Plus, her suggestion for Cheesesteaks was right on. At the end of the tour, other guest member and I mixed up our purchases. Jacquie helped us get in touch, so we could switch out.
