It was wonderful to tour this great neighborhood and enjoy wonderful pizza, coffee, cannoli, candies, balsamic vinegar, and other specialties of the Italian market area of Philadelphia! Everything was SO delicious! You can tell that everything was made with a lot of love and focus on quality ingredients. Our tour guide, Chef Jacquie, was very knowledgeable and fun!
Chef Jackie is the Best!

A memorable journey through South Philly’s Italian Market and food culture

As foodies, we were seeking an authentic experience of the Italian Market and Philadelphia’s Italian-American food culture. We are so grateful we chose Jacquie over some of her more cookie-cutter competitors, as she delivered just that.
Jacquie was informed and personable; she introduced us to many of the market’s incredible sites, smells, and flavors. She shared stories of her life between Philadelphia and Bologna, Italy, and tales of her immigrant ancestors.
A former chef, Jacquie enjoys lifelong friendships with some of the restauranteurs and shopkeepers she introduced us to. We felt almost like locals as we chatted with these generous folks about olive oil, cheeses, and more.
Jacquie offers an authentic and unforgettable journey through the Italian Market.

What an enjoyable day. I love learning the history of my heritage and some interesting facts I wouldn’t have thought of.
The businesses that we visited were happy to see us and assist us with our questions and purchases. Cookie and Lisa were fun too at the visitor center. Jackie was a wonderful tour guide who really knew her history. I highly recommend this tour whether you are Italian or not.

Chef Jacque added so much to the tour with her personal insights about the people and the history of the neighborhood. It seemed everyone who worked in this area knew her.

Italian market place tour with Chef Jacquie
Lee_C

This was such an incredible tour. Chef Jacquie was amazing! She provided a wealth of information on both Philadelphia and Italy along with the history of others that had immigrated to the area. We were given a broad range of food during our tastings that was delicious and fulfilling. The shops were lovely and it was obvious Jacquie has made some great relationships with the owners.
This is a tour you do not want to miss! The only thing we would have changed was to schedule it at the beginning of our trip as Jacquie offered up her favorite restaurants and there was not enough time to visit them all!
Informative and Delicious

We had such a great time with Jackie! She was very knowledgeable about the neighborhood, Italian culture and history, and of course food! Her passion for Italians and food came out in her cooking suggestions, personal anecdotes, and wonderful travel recommendations. You will have a wonderful tour and very yummy afternoon with Jackie!

We loved experiencing the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, history and charm of the Italian Market with Jacque as our guide. She was knowledgeable and most of all a lot of fun to spend our morning with. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat!
Had a great time with Jackie!

It was awesome! Jackie showed us the best spots in the market and is obviously quite knowledgeable. She knows all the different business owners. It was great to get a guided tour of the market and the experience was a highlight of our trip. The food was delicious too.
Delicious and entertaining tour!

An excellent morning from start to finish! Our tour guide, Chef Jacquie, was wonderful. Having grown up in the neighborhood, she provided an entertaining and comprehensive history of the Italian Market and we enjoyed a nice variety of tastings from local shops and restaurants. Starting at Anthony’s with coffee and delicious biscotti, we moved onto DiBruno’s for a fabulous cheese and nut pairing. The olive oil and vinegar tasting at Cardena’s was next on the list where we purchased a number of gifts to take home. We strolled through Charlie’s Produce stand on our way to watch pasta making Talluto’s window and tortilla making at San Roman’s. We enjoyed a slice of Santucci’s original square pizza for lunch and finished our tour with a fabulous cannoli from Isgro’s bakery.
