North End (Little Italy) Neighborhood Tour

• 3 1/2 Hours

Boston’s Little Italy Food Tour

Experience the vibrant and flavorful North End neighborhood on our guided food tour. As you join us, we’ll welcome you with a warm “Buongiorno”, or “Ciao” and, perhaps, an authentic Italian gesture to start the day.

Our first stop will be to one of three award-winning pizzerias, either a James Beard Award winner, or one of two Best of Boston winners, one of which has been recognized by TripAdvisor as the best pizza-maker in the country! You’ll get to indulge in the delicious flavors of these acclaimed eateries, setting the tone for the rest of the tour.

Next, we’ll take you to a hidden gem, a three-time Best of Boston Bread Bakery, and a salumeria and pasta shop featured on the Food Network’s “Best Thing That I Ever Ate”. You’ll sample the best-selling Italian bread, balsamic vinegars, and house-made mozzarella, and you’ll learn about the history behind these local establishments.

As we continue to explore the neighborhood, we’ll introduce you to three popular eateries that you might want to come back to later. One has been featured on the Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives”, and another has been ranked as one of the top restaurants in the country by the New York Times.

The best coffee in the North End

While it’s closed on Sundays, the remainder of the week, we’ll also stop at our favorite old-school coffee shop, where you can enjoy their famous house-made lemon slush during summer months, or a cup of the best espresso our guests say they’ve ever tasted. Before heading to our next destination, we’ll stop at a long line for the Best of Boston Sandwich, a mouth-watering Italian sub that will leave a lasting impression.

After a bit more sightseeing, including a quick stop at Paul Revere’s House, we’ll finish our tour at a small, family-owned restaurant that’s a favorite of locals and Hollywood alike. You’ll savor a delicious pasta course with one of Mama Connie’s famous meatballs, followed by a classic cannoli to round off the perfect North End experience.

Join us for an unforgettable culinary adventure in the heart of Boston’s historic North End!

Traveler Reviews

Was on a spur of the moment solo trip to Boston. This tour was worth every penny and more. The pizza was out of this world at each location and our guide was extremely knowledgeable.

A great history lesson while eating three different pizzas in three different parts on the walking tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and fun.

Boston's North End & Pizza Tour was great. Scotty was our guide; so informative and funny. I highly recommend this tour.

Our guide Kira was fantastic. Her history background and ability to answer of the cuff questions we had made our tour. We enjoyed trying the different styles of pizza as well.

Tour guide was fun and very knowledgeable about Boston's history. The walking was pretty easy. Learned lots and most importantly, got stuffed on yummy pizza! It brings you to some great places you would not think of.

The guide was funny and entertaining and we stopped at spots I wouldn’t have noticed just walking around on my own. Fun evening!

We loved seeing Bostons history through a native’s eyes. We could tell he loves this city and have good stories to tell!

Such a fun way to see Boston and hear interesting and entertaining facts. Scotty was an awesome guide!

Our tour guide was fun and the pizza was great! Best way to experience the North End of Boston. It was nice the tour was limited to only 10 people. We all got to know each other and made new friends.

Pizza was really good and our guide Tim had interesting facts and information about the North end area. It was a perfect amount of time and a nice intimate experience.

An Afternoon of Pizza, Beer, and History (… and Beer) in Boston’s North End

Boston’s North End (aka “Little Italy”) is among the most historic neighborhoods in one of the most historic cities in the United States. It’s also one of the most densely populated, both with people and restaurants: 12,000 people and 120 restaurants fill an area less than 0.4 square miles. It’s a foodie’s (and an agoraphobic’s) dream.

Vagabondish is reader-supported. When you buy through links on our site, we may earn a small affiliate commission. Read our disclosure .

Mrs. Vagabondish and I have both lived within an hour of Boston for most of our lives. So it’s a bit shameful to admit that we’ve never really explored the North End. (We’re all terrible tourists in our own hometown right?) So as VERY important travelers in Viator’s exclusive Ambassador program , we decided it was time to learn a few things we never knew about Boston’s most famous neighborhood. And what better way to do it than via a Pizza & Tavern Tour ?

We met up with our tour guide Patrick — a young, energetic guy with a serious love of pizza, history, Boston, and beer — on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. A rare winter day in Boston indeed, complete with clear blue skies, lightly peppered with just the right amount of high, thin clouds. What’s more: we got lucky and wound up being the only two folks on what became our own private tour.

Minutes into our tour, it was clear Patrick wasn’t lying about the North End being a foodie heaven. It seems there’s almost literally a new place to eat every ten feet. After strolling past some of the neighborhood’s most iconic bars and restaurants, we finally arrived at our first stop – the iconic Regina Pizzeria . Dating back to 1926, it’s the oldest pizzeria in the neighborhood and has, in that time, grown a loyal, almost obsessive fan base. It’s arguably the most popular and best known pizza joint in the North End – a go-to for locals and Boston newcomers who line up out the door from open to close every day of the week. It’s easy to see why. The dough is light and slightly chewy with a thin crispy, edge. The nuclear hot cheese is plentiful and gooey almost to the point of being able to “pour” it off the slice. (It was Mrs. Vagabondish’s favorite of the tour)

Because Patrick was concerned about us going too long without a proper pint, we quickly crossed the bridge to Charlestown for our first tavern stop. Warren Tavern is a “tavern” in the purest sense of the word – a place where dark wood, patriotic murals, and centuries-old details abound. I grabbed a local Harpoon Winter Warmer and settled in while Patrick regaled us with as much of the tavern’s history as he could pack into twenty minutes.

Now there’s much debate, particularly in New England, over which is officially the oldest tavern in the country. Wherever Warren Tavern falls on that list is irrelevant. It dates back to 1780 and, for the love of god, George Washington and Paul Revere drank there! It’s a history buff’s dream. More than 225 years after opening its doors, it still feels like a boisterous meeting place for those looking to start a revolution. (Insider tip: don’t miss the Sam Adams Brick Red. This unique beer is only available at select outlets in Boston and Warren Tavern is one)

From very old to relatively new, we ambled to our second pizza stop of the tour. Todd English’s Figs is not strictly a pizza joint, but they still know how to make a mean pie (or “flatbread” if you’re the highfalutin sort). The menu features a dozen offerings and half-and-half pies are available.

We sprung for a half Bronx Bomber (pepperoni, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and fresh basil) and a half Isabelle’s (country ham, aged provolone, fresh asparagus, and sweet onion). The former is a simple take on the traditional pepperoni pizza with a subtle spice to the meat to give it a slight pop. The latter proved to be a unique, unexpectedly good blend of sweet and savory, with an interesting twist from the crispy asparagus.

Already full from the area rug-sized pie at Figs, Patrick ushered us along to our last pizza stop of the night: Ernesto’s . A staple of Boston’s North End for more than 30 years, they pride themselves on cooking in the old world style. They offer one of the widest selections of pizza in the area, particularly for single slices. Like Regina’s, it’s packed day and night. Unlike many other by-the-slice joints, the steady traffic means the pizza is always hot and fresh. And delicious to boot! Their simple cheese slice wound up being my favorite of the entire tour.

We wrapped up the night at Green Dragon Tavern . Established in 1654 ( maybe … ), this historic watering hole played host to the likes of Paul Revere and John Hancock. According to famed historian Daniel Webster, “it was in the Green Dragon that the plans for the invasion of Lexington and Concorde were overheard thus starting the famous ride of Paul Revere.” Thus you might argue that the American Revolution literally started there.

While the Top 40 cover bands, humorless bouncers, and raucous college freshmen have dulled some of its historical shine, it’s still among the oldest and most important taverns in the city. And a great place to end our tour!

Pizza, beer, and just enough of a history lesson to pretend we actually did something educational for the afternoon. If only my high school history class had been so fun and filling …
