Little Italy is no longer Italian. That is the truth of it. The REAL Little Italy is on Arthur Avenue in upstate NY and only a short train ride away. more

What is up with the hostile, rude, and pushy hosts in front of MOST of the restaurants in Little Italy?? Our family wanted to dine here and when reading the menus out front of several of the restaurants, a gentleman host approached us, and we found them to be very rude. In front of one, we were trying to read... more

Our time in NY was limited. My family had to decide between Little Italy or Central Park. We opted to do Lillte Italy so we could continue down to see the Statue of Liberty and then take the subway to the Yankee/ Red Sox game. Little Italy is wonderful! My best advice is to walk the entire Mulberry Street and... more

Little Italy is a must stop for us every time we visit NYC. A short trip on the subway, getting off at Delancy, lets you walk thru the edge of the Bower to Mulberry Street. There are red/green/white decorations everywhere, often street markets with food, goods, and games. The food is excellent, we love Umbertos Clam House on Mulberry, and... more

Was one of my most memorable experiences on my trip to NYC. We went to two restaurants. One was Vincents - the food was awesome! Best ceasar salad, veal parm, stuffed artichokes....the appearance could use a facelift. the other rest was on mulberrry - cant remember name but it was a nice little romantic joint with friendly staff and the... more

It is sad to visit Little Italy whilst knowing the importance of Italian immigrants to New York culture, and yet witness what remains of Little Italy. The place is nothing more than a strip of restaurants which resembles a strip in any cheap package holiday destination. Not worth the visit in my opinion. I went to Lombardi's for the famous... more

We stopped in for dinner at the "Famous/Original Vincent's" in Little Italy. It smelled funny when we went in...should have known to turn around. Food was horrible. The worst tomato and mozzarella salad I have ever eaten. My husband asked for scallops and pasta...they brought it out...scallops were fried and the whole plate was greasy and tasteless. Although the service... more

We were pulled in off of the street to have lunch at Caffe Napoli. There are men standing outside each restaurant trying to get you to go inside. We had an excellent, reasonable lunch. The pizza was fantastic as well as the lasagna and manicotti. The total bill including tip was $40.00 for four of us. The waiters were fantastic.... more

We enjoyed walking around Chinatown and Little Italy, especially as some of the restaurants in Little Italy looked lovely. Sadly, we chose one that looked quite busy which we thought meant it was good but I think it was busy as other people had thought the same as us and followed each other into it! The food was so bland... more

We walked through Little Italy and there is definitely an abundance of restaurants. Restaurant workers were outside many of the doors wanting to see if you wanted to come in - very friendly neighborhood. We ate at Casa Bella's I believe it was called and the food was very good. The space is a little cramped but didn't hinder our... more
