Experience the charm of this iconic market in the evening.
Summer nights in South Philly were made for this.
Our Authentic Italian Market: After Dark Dinner Tour takes you on a flavorful stroll through the Italian Market, after dark — where the air is warm, the lights glow soft, and the food is unforgettable. Have a round of cocktails, then snack on mouthwatering bites that hit the spot. You’ll settle into an authentic Italian dinner featuring homemade Italian pasta, crusty bread, and a fresh salad that tastes just like summer at Nonna’s house.
Want to bring your favorite bottle? Go for it — this food tour is BYOB-friendly. We’ll pop a bottle of bubbly at a beloved South Philly bottle shop as we wrap things up with dreamy desserts — visions of cannoli and chocolate raspberry ganache.
Awaken your taste buds at Chef Jacquie’s favorite local spots in the historic Italian Market after hours.

Growing up in this neighborhood, meant a lot to me. The people, the history, and the businesses—it’s all part of who I am, and I’m proud to share that with you.
My food tour journey started years ago when I was in culinary school, and I’ll never forget the excitement of my first food tour in France. The food was delicious, but most of all, it was the people I met which made it a memorable experience for me.
That’s the feeling I want to pass on to you when we explore Philly’s culinary scene together.
When you come on my tour, you’ll see Philly in a way that’s authentic and full of life. I’m here to make sure you have a great time and walk away with stories of your own.
Let’s go explore,
