From Prohibition-era speakeasies to family-owned businesses, the 2nd annual "A Glass From the Past" offers a glimpse into the colorful history of Cleveland's Little Italy. Participants will visit five stops — Tavern of Little Italy (TOLI), Cent'Anni, Little Italy Wines, Corbo's Bakery, and Lou's Tavern — each with its own story to tell. Along the way, guests will sample delicious Italian-inspired drinks and small bites while soaking in the unforgettable stories of these local landmarks.
