About your host, Robert

My name is Robert Agrippino I was born and still live here in this unique neighborhood in the North End of Boston (Little Italy) in 1958. We will feast on food culture and personal stories of this unique neighborhood. My guests will experience all the changes that have taken place and the gentrification that started happening in the late 70s. I grew up taking my first job as a dishwasher in one of our local restaurants and then becoming a busboy & waiter.We will learn the italian culture that dates back all the way to the first Italian settlers in the 1860s, I will share personal stories from playing in the streets to Sunday dinners when the whole family had a chance to be together.

I learned the restaurant business from a couple of Italian immigrants and went on to open my own restaurants. I know all the best establishments and all of the shopkeepers which makes for an authentic experience. The shops we visit are all places that I myself and the locals eat in. There are NO tourist traps on this tour. We will eat like REAL ITALIANS and along the tour we will meet REAL ITALIANS.
