Alessia and Elena lead food tours across multiple New Jersey locations that consistently wow guests with generous portions and authentic local cuisine. These aren't quick tastings—reviewers emphasize coming very hungry because you'll experience full meals at each stop. The guides excel at connecting guests directly with restaurant owners and chefs, creating personal moments where you hear immigration stories and family recipes that bring the food to life. Tours span various towns including Jersey City, Red Bank, Kearny, and Somerville, with Alessia mixing up locations regularly to keep things fresh. What makes these tours special is the cultural immersion alongside the eating. Guides weave in local history at each stop while introducing guests to family-owned establishments they'd never discover on their own. Groups have booked for bachelorette parties, corporate events, and family gatherings with consistent success. The walking between venues helps with digestion (you'll need it), and dietary accommodations are thoughtfully handled. Multiple reviewers mention this being their favorite food tour experience ever, which speaks volumes about the quality and care put into each outing.
This was one of the most lovely experiences I’ve ever had the pleasure of attending! We toured Jersey City having a little bit of food and some amazing drinks at each stop! I will not reveal where we went, but, our hostess Alessia is always mixing it up anyway! Constantly changing locations and restaurants so you are never bored. But let me just say I had an absolutely amazing time trying some delicious food at places I had never been! I also appreciated a little bit of history we got at every stop! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves Jersey city or wants to experience it!
