A food tour with a felonious twist! The Federal Hill neighborhood of Providence is one of its hottest destinations, home to some of the best Italian food in the world. This tour will give you a smorgasbord of its best bites and drinks, from fine wines to family recipes passed down through generations. Come hungry! Every guest will also get a memento from their time on the Hill to take home with them. Spoiler alert: it's delicious! The Hill was also home to some historic characters who dabbled on the wrong side of the law. Follow the intrigue of State v. Patriarca, when a future mayor took on a mob boss; learn about the corruption which brought Rhode Island's banking system to its knees in the '90s, and about a raid on an illegal dice game that sent a Providence Police Officer through a second-story window. Guests under 21 will not be served alcohol on this tour.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Crime and Cuisine tour?

A: Yes, guests under 21 won't be served alcohol during the tour, but they can still enjoy all the food and the historical tidbits! If you're buying this for someone younger, just keep in mind they'll miss out on the wine tastings but still have a blast with the delicious eats.

Q: How does the parking situation work around Federal Hill?

A: Parking can be a bit tricky in Federal Hill, especially on weekends. There are a few public lots and street parking, but I'd recommend getting there a bit early to find a good spot. Sometimes, rideshares can be a hassle too due to traffic, so plan ahead!

Q: What should I wear for the Crime and Cuisine tour?

A: Casual and comfy is the way to go! You’ll be walking around a lot, so wear good shoes. It can get a bit chilly at night, especially in fall, so maybe bring a light jacket. Just make sure you’re ready to eat!

I went on the Crime and Cuisine tour last weekend and wow, it was amazing! The food was out of this world, especially the family recipes. The stories about the mob were so interesting, too! I walked away with a sweet little memento and a full belly. Totally worth every cent!
