The Bronx’s Little Italy is located in the Belmont area of the borough. Its heart is Arthur Avenue, home to dozens of old-school restaurants, delis, and other traditional businesses, although the area also extends to East 187th Avenue and surrounding streets. It’s considered one of the borough’s most charming neighborhoods.

To get to the Bronx’s Little Italy using public transportation, take Metro-North trains to Fordham station or B and D trains to Fordham Rd station; both are 15–20 minutes away on foot. Various bus routes frequent the area, or use taxis and rideshare services.

Arthur Avenue is home to a wide range of traditional Italian restaurants. Some of the most popular include Egidio Pastry Shop, open for more than a century and known for its cannoli; Mario’s Restaurant, an old-school red-sauce joint; and Pugsley Pizza, a pizza parlor favored by nearby Fordham University students.

Although the Little Italy neighborhoods in the Bronx and Manhattan have plenty of history, the Bronx’s is by far the larger and more thriving today. While much of Manhattan’s Little Italy has shrunk or been reduced to a kitschy tourist attraction, the Bronx’s is home to a flourishing community.
