Foodies start making plans for Little Italy’s 13th Annual Taste of Little Italy! The culinary event will take place on June 22 and 23 from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM Attendees will be able to take in the summer air while walking through the neighborhood’s 48 square blocks, sampling mouthwatering bites from over 20+ culinary gems over both days. Each evening different restaurants will be showcased.
