What a wonderful place to get a "taste of Italy." From Pastries to Pasta one can find it all. I enjoy the area for the feel of the Italian descendants. There are restaurants and businesses that are family run for generations. One can find quality imported products in every store. The area is fun for all. It gets packed with College Students from the local University and people come from all areas to visit. The food is worth the trip! Visiting Arther Avenue for the Ferraagosto Festival is on my bucket list. The area is already so lively, I am looking forward to seeing how much more festive it can be. All the places are walking distance from one another. I recommend a stroll through and then pick out a place for Lunch or Dinner, then find a place for an expresso and Gelato then find places to stack up food to bring home. Pick out great bread, mozzarella, prosciutto, imported olive oil or even a cigar. One will enjoy a day in Little Italy of the Bronx.

Little Italy in the Bronx is a great place to stop before a game at the Stadium or when you are visiting the Zoo or Botanical Garden. They have great restaurants from white linen establishments to counter service. The food is mostly classic Italian American with the focus on southern Italy. Lots of little shops. Characters galore sitting are sitting at the sidewalk cafes. Parking is easy. You are likely to find on the street parking and you can pay at a pay station. Check it out.

Arthur Avenue is the Little Italy in the Bronx. The area has the best Italian dining, restaurants, pastry shops, pork stores, grocers, coffee shops and pizzerias. During Covid they have outdoor dining that is comfortable. We enjoyed a beautiful Sunday afternoon and evening here after Christmas
