Visit a small, hidden Italian bakery serving up fresh bread daily, then an Italian salumeria for meats and cheeses. On Hanover Street, enjoy a hot drink during a mid-tour break at a traditional Italian café. A taste of pizza awaits at a neighborhood favorite. Finish with samples of the best Italian pastries.
