The Little Italy History Shuffle: A Glass from the Past 3

Step into the rich history of Cleveland's Little Italy during the 3rd Annual Little Italy History Shuffle (A Glass from the Past 3), a unique walking tour that combines fascinating stories, beloved neighborhood landmarks, and delicious Italian recipes and treats.

Led by knowledgeable guides, participants will visit five iconic Little Italy destinations:

• Italian American Museum of Cleveland
• La Dolce Vita
• Lou's Tavern of Little Italy
• Mount Granita Italian Ice
• Presti's Bakery

At each stop, guests will discover the history behind these neighborhood institutions while enjoying a sampling of Italian-inspired foods and vino. From longtime family businesses to community landmarks that have shaped generations, this is an unforgettable way to experience one of Cleveland's oldest and most vibrant neighborhoods.

Tickets are $100 per person and include the guided walking tour, food and beverage samplings at each participating location, and a private party at the Alta House with food, drinks, bocce, raffles, and music/entertainment by DJ Dan Ricci.

All proceeds benefit the cultural programming and educational initiatives of the Italian American Museum of Cleveland (IAMCLE), and Inizio: the young professionals organization of the Italian Sons and Daughters of America (ISDA). Learn more about Inizio at www.liflcle.com

The Shuffle

When purchasing your tickets, you may choose from one of two shuffle times:

• Tour A: 1:00 p.m. – 2:40 p.m. (Check-in 12:30 p.m. SHARP)
• Tour B: 2:50 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. (Check-in 2:20 p.m. SHARP)

Please arrive 30 minutes before your selected tour time to check in.

The shuffle requires walking and periods of standing. Within each tour time, participants will be divided into 5 groups, with each group starting at a different participating location then rotating through all five stops. This staggered format ensures that each establishment can comfortably accommodate every group while providing an enjoyable experience for all.

If you would like to be grouped with specific individuals, please include their names on the ticket order questionnaire when purchasing. We will do our best to accommodate your requests; however, we cannot guarantee that large groups will remain together throughout the shuffle.

Guests must be 21 years of age or older to participate.
