Overview

Along a stretch of 9th Street in the heart of eclectic South Philadelphia lies the Italian Market, one of America’s oldest and largest outdoor markets. This iconic collection of butchers, bakers, specialty shops, and restaurants has been the backbone of this historic neighborhood since its creation in the late 1800s. Join us for a stroll through the Italian Market, among the vibrant fruit stalls, past the fragrant bakeries, into various shops and unique stores, and peeking down hidden alleys covered in fantastical street art. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to sample several delicious dishes, including cannoli, tomato pie, and tacos! Your guide will also introduce you to other Italian Market staples and immigrant-inspired fare, savoring the flavors of the market as you make your way down this iconic street. Wherever your guide leads you, your senses will be popping as you explore one of the most unique, thriving, and diverse areas of the City of Brotherly Love.

Italian Market Tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Barry was FANTASTIC! This tour was more than I could’ve hoped for. Not only did we try and experience the delicacies of the italian market, but Barry also engaged us with other cuisines too. This tour is definitely worth it, whether you’ve lived in Philly for years, or you just are visiting.

An excellent food tour!

We went on our tour with Nina. She was really fun and showed us some awesome places to eat and shop in the Italian Market. It was one of my favorite food tours I’ve ever been on. An all-around great experience!

Definitely the highlight of our trip to Philly
