The majority of Italian immigrants came to Ohio in the late 19th and early 20th century. As the years passed and the community immigrated into the rest of the community, one thing in the neighborhood has never changed is the food. The best Italian American cuisine can still be found in the area, in restaurants all within walking distance of each other.

Barbara was very informative. She knows a lot about Little Italy in Cleveland. We enjoyed her comments, and her company. The food was delicious, and there was plenty of it.
Walking tour (short). Great tour guide. Good food! Worth the trip. Like the insights and history knowledge.
I was disappointed in that I expected more stops. We went to a grocery/deli and a good restaurant. Our 3rd stop was to pick up a good bagged dessert at a bakery. I erred in not eating much at the restaurant because I expected more stops. I wish we were told how many stops there would be. Parking was horrendous.
Nice combo of local history and great food. Will definitely go back to La Dolce Vita! We had beautiful weather which made it even better. The only thing that was weird was the length of the tour. It’s advertised as 3.5 hours, but with only three stops we were done in 2.5 hours.
Great way to see and learn about Little Italy in Cleveland Ohio. Amazing Italian food. Barbara was great knowledge of the city of Cleveland and little Italy.

Do not book with third party co Description of events were not clear Walking tours are not for seniors
It’s was a perfect day, great group of 8,while enjoying fun history and great food. What more could you ask for. Perfect blend of all things fun for a wonderful day.
The weather was the only downer, one in our party uses a wheelchair. It had snowed a bit night before so the sidewalks were a bit tough to walk & it was cold. Your guide has a fabulous attitude & really made some lemonade out of the weather lemons. She was knowledgeable and fun & really made the day. Sights & food were very good & gave a real Little Italy Feel. Worth the cost for a real experience of the area if your unfamiliar…
A great way to experience Little Italy. A combination of history and good food while visiting different establishments
