Meet the team

We’re a small team of passionate guides sharing our heritage and cultural connections to our local communities. Mia Cucina started as a cooking school over 30 years ago, and our weekends were spent on adventures, to every diverse Sydney suburb, enjoying the best street food.

Today we are proud to be supporting so many diverse, small businesses, whilst educating our clients on where to shop and enjoy local food.

Ranked Top 5 Food Tours in Australia, we offer small, intimate Food Tours, personalising every experience.
