Other stops include a 100 year old salumeria, an Italian bakery, a gelateria, and some other surprises. This tour can be a walking tour or use transportation provided. If walking, please note we will be taking plenty of breaks to rest and indulge in all The Hill has to offer.

Wayne was knowledgeable and allowed us to customize our tour to our liking. However he also got us to go out on a limb with some flavor combinations and things I may not have tried on my own.
