About this experience
Enjoy South Philly’s most flavorful neighborhoods with our Signature Philly Food Tour – a mouthwatering adventure led by a native chef who grew up right on these very streets.
Pop into Di Bruno Bros. – a Philly institution – to browse their bottle shop and pick up a beer or bottle of wine to take along for your next stop. Just around the corner awaits Paesano’s, where Chef Peter serves up his classic Italian hoagie served on crispy Philly bread and layered with Mortadella – the very chef who beat Bobby Flay on Food Network’s “Throwdown.”
Join our table at the city’s most buzzed-about Mexican spots – featured on Chef’s Table on Netflix – where the award-winning barbacoa or roasted veggie tacos live up to the hype. Our guests always have a seat at Chef Cristina’s table.
You’ll indulge with Milk Jawn, Philly-style ice cream and other sweet treats famously known by locals in South Philly.
Enjoy a delicious taste of Philly pride — street by street, bite by bite.
