It may have been "little Italy" at one time but now it is just a run down version of itself, nothing here to see but poverty and slum.

Do not go here! Avoid at all costs. There is nothing to do or see here. This is not 'little Italy.' The whole thing is a sham. There were once Italians in this area, but they all moved away or died. Their 3rd generation descendants, faced with a faded, declining, and rotten tourist city, came up with the idea of... More

There was 1 Italian restaurant Michael's that was wonderful, otherwise I have no idea why this is Little Italy. No gellato, no bakeries, I guess there was an Italian sounding funeral home but not much else.

What can I say, yes it was once a big Italian commuity and still has a few Italian restuarants but the food they serve is really bad. This whole city would keep Chef Ramsey busy for the next 50 years trying to fix bad cooks with over sized egos.

You must try Gagsters Restaurant in the parking lot area by the McDonalds on Pine Avenue. I have been coming here from Canada for 20 years, and they still have the best wings and pizza anywhere!!
