Little Italy

Little Italy. It is indeed little, and certainly tries to emulate aspects of Italy and Italian culture. And it does so fairly well. 

Not just because of the mediterranean climate, but a strong Italian population resides here, and with it, some excellent restaurants, a piazza, and walkable streets that favor the pedestrian of the car. It’s hard to ignore this charming, eclectic neighborhood that is fitting for young crowds looking to explore new bars, or adults hoping to have a romantic date night. 

Little Italy packs a lot into their neighborhood, and we recommend exploring it to the fullest.
