This week, 17 Italian restaurants in Trumbull County are running specials to kick off the 2020 Italian Food Trail that runs through November. The trail honors Italians who settled to Trumbull County to work in factories over a century ago. Part of their history includes wonderful dishes… dishes that will be highlighted along the Italian Food Trail.

Third- and fourth-generation Italian Americans still know how to make people salivate over taste. “The food trail itself has over 50 food sites on the trail. No national chains. There are some local chains. But otherwise, it’s a lot of family-owned businesses that are listed throughout the trail,” said Beth Kane, Trumbull County Tourism marketing manager.
