Experience Boston’s North End: A Local’s Journey Through Little Italy
I’m Bobby Agrippino, the lifelong North End local who brings Boston’s Little Italy to life with stories, flavor, and personality you simply won’t find on any other tour.
Born and raised right here in this tight-knit Italian neighborhood, I’ve spent my entire life walking these cobblestone streets, supporting the mom-and-pop shops, celebrating every feast and festival, and preserving the traditions passed down through generations.
With me as your guide, the North End becomes more than a destination, it becomes a living story. I know the neighborhood’s hidden alleys, the family-run bakeries with 100-year histories, the salumerias that locals swear by, and the shopkeepers who greet me by name. My firsthand memories, personal anecdotes, and deep community connections add a layer of authenticity no script could ever match.
Whether I’m recounting childhood moments on these streets, sharing the history of the first Italian immigrants, or introducing you to the real people who keep the neighborhood’s spirit alive, my tours are immersive, warm, and unforgettable.
Can’t wait to share my neighborhood with you. See you soon on the tour!
Ci vediamo presto, amici!

About Little Italy: Boston's North End
NORTH END BOSTON
Together, we’ll walk through the North End and discover the Italian foods, wines, and traditions that shaped this neighborhood long before it became Boston’s Little Italy. This one-square-mile community once held more than 45,000 Italian and Italian American residents, making it one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in the country.
Every corner, bakery, and family shop carries a story passed down through generations. Along the way, I’ll share memories from my own childhood, playing in the alleyways, running into neighbors, and gathering for Sunday dinners with thirty relatives around one table. These moments capture the heart of the North End and the community spirit that still lives here today.
We’ll visit mom-and-pop shops that have served locals for decades, places where the owners know me by name and welcome every guest like family. You’ll taste foods made from old-world recipes, meet the people behind them, and experience the neighborhood exactly as true locals do.
No scripted stops. Just authentic flavors, real history, and a warm introduction to the Italian heritage that makes this neighborhood unforgettable. Come hungry and ready to explore, this is the North End the way it was meant to be experienced. Check out more in our Gallery.
