Little Italy
Urban Italian enclave
Little Italy is a neighborhood in a city where Italian immigrants historically settled and established businesses, restaurants, and cultural institutions.
Most major American cities had a Little Italy; some remain vibrant ethnic enclaves, while others exist mainly as tourist destinations or have been absorbed by surrounding neighborhoods.
We had dinner in Little Italy.
