I have lived in Rhode Island practically my entire life and have somehow managed never to visit Federal Hill. Until now. With her extensive knowledge of the area and robust Italian roots,
Chef Cindy Salvato has shown me
. "The Hill". Her market tour of the area led our group of ten through food stores, gourmet delis and bakeries, just to name a few of our stops along the way!READ MORE SKYLIGHTS MAGAZINE - JANUARY 2007 By Brenda D. FarrellFrom the sun-splashed harbors of Narragansett Bay to the genteel streets of Providence's historic East Side, there's a commonly held belief that Rhode Islanders may travel, but seldom move away. And why should they? Here in the nation's smallest state, an abundance of aesthetic delights can be found on just about any city street or village square.

We had the best time on your Federal Hill Tour! The rain didn't hamper
the tour one bit! The information that you gave us at every stop was interesting and fun ... and the food - what can we say!?! Everything was delicious and we enjoyed trying
new things! We went back and bought many of the items that you recommended or that we tried, and look forward to trying more! We have already recommended your tour to everyone we know! So many
exclaimation points! But that's how we felt about our day! Hi Cindy,
My husband and I went along with friends who had done the tour previously. What a great time!! We had planned on having lunch after the tour, but were too full after all the samples. I am telling all of my friends!!!
Thank you, Cindy. Thanks so much for the wonderful tour. It was outstanding! I felt like I was truly back in Italy. Even though I
was aware of "The Hill" and certainly grew up in a family who shopped there, I sort of got out of the habit of going there. Your tour has reawakened my great love of Italian food and I certainly will be back to enjoy the
flavor of not only the food, but also the people. "Just a note to say that I thoroughly enjoyed Saturday's walking tour of Federal Hill. Your knowledge and
charm are a winning combination! After the tour, I made the rounds of the shops we had visited and brought home a feast to be remembered for my family. It was a great day, rain and all!"
"The culinary tour was fun, entertaining and delicious - all of which was good for reviving one's weary soul. The Federal Hill Italian restaurants and food purveyors can go toe to toe with Italian restaurants in New
York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and Boston." "I absolutely loved the tour I had with you on the 18th of February. I have been raving about it ever since!
Grazie mille! I can't wait for the weather to warm up to enjoy the hill even more!"
"Cindy's tour of Federal Hill is 'fantastico!' Her knowledge of this historic Italian area of our capital, coupled with her friendliness and professionalism, made this a most enjoyable day for our group. A definite must-do
for any Italian or culinary enthusiasts." "Being from Florida, I found that going on a tour of Federal Hill was the best way to see the area. Learning
the history and meeting the people who work there was very interesting. The tasty snacks were delicious!"
"Cindy's Federal Hill Tour is a delicious and fun way to be introduced to great food and wine in an authentic Italian tradition."
"Three friends and I took your remarkable tour of Federal Hill and we all had a wonderful time. We were entertained, educated and certainly enticed back. I enjoyed it so much I gave it as a gift to my daughter and son-in-law."
"I love 'foodie' tours and have taken a bunch of them. This tour is the best of the lot. Cindy appears to be a
local celebrity and has great access to the back rooms of this historic shopping neighborhood. I will highly recommend this to my friends. I left "the hill" loaded down with goodies from the shops we visited. Amazing
to have something like this in Providence!" |
