We already visited the "Little Italy", NYC you're probably most familiar with, but have you heard of Arthur Ave? This neighborhood in the Bronx claims to be the "REAL" Little Italy in NYC, so of course, we had to check it out for ourselves. Mozzarella shops, cannoli, Italian grocery shopping, coffee, bakeries, salami tasting and eating at Enzo's- what do you think? Is this an authentic Italian experience in the USA?

@@ThePasinishave you found anything authentic in Nashville? I’ve been so disappointed with the lack of good Italian in Nashville. Maggiano’s and Coco’s just aren’t cutting it 😂.

My great grandmother immigrated from Campania and I can’t find anything close to what I get from my family.

@brunopadovani7347 Год назад

@@gkennedy2998 Close. Maybe 5-10 blocks away. I believe that the neighborhood is called Dyker Heights. 14th Ave & 75th St. Pretty much that whole section of Brooklyn, from Bay Ridge, to beyond where my grandparents lived on 63rd St. was Italian in the 60s & 70s, with fantastic restaurants, bakeries and salumerias. I imagine that it was like a giant Arthur Ave. A few of my relatives still live there, and in Bensonhurst, but the ethnic composition of the neighborhoods have changed, but not for the worse, as the crime is still low. We moved out to New Jersey in the mid 60s, so I really didn't grow up in Brooklyn.

Yup, Brazil has Italians too! An estimated 32 million descendants in Brazil, making them the largest number of people with Italian ancestry outside Italy (they also have the most people with Japanese ancestry outside Japan)! With the most populous city with Italian ancestry being São Paulo. Arthur Ave in The Bronx really is a wholesome area with its charm, though I don't take an Uber there but rather the Metro-North Railroad to Fordham and then walk. Trains are the preferred mode of transport in the NY metro, and taking Metro-North gives me an excuse to take in the beauty of Grand Central Terminal (and soon, the Long Island Railroad will open in Grand Central too). That "IIIIT'S JOHNNY!" picture on the door at 3:15 is the chef's kiss.

Take the train if you're in Manhattan, definitely. I live in the Bronx not too far from Arthur Avenue (I'm near University Ave & Burnside Ave) so the bus is much more convenient for me. 😁👍 Only I'm of Puerto Rican desent so I tend to stick to the more Latin American/Hispanic areas of the Bronx when I do go anywhere (which isn't often admittedly). I'm going to have to swing by Arthur Avenue sometime soon though (when I'm not broke) at least to get some bread and possibly some cheese, lol. I'm suddenly craving good pasta too. 😅 Maybe swing I'll by China Town too one day. It's amazing how you tend to forget about other countries foods when you get too immersed in your own, or too lazy to care what you eat. 😉

Sicilian, Mio nonno vincenzo era un uomo d'affari proprietario di 5 barbieri: era molto conosciuto e rispettato nella comunità siciliana del Bronx. We grew up with the Bronx. I worked as a public-school teacher in Bronx high schools for 20 years, in fact just up the block from Arthur Avenue. I know the neighborhood well., and yes, it's the real "Little Italy". There are some neighborhoods in Brooklyn like Carrol Gardens, Bay Ridge and Williamsburg which have some real Italian shops and great restaurants, but honestly, I think Arthur Ave. is the best. Plus, there is the Bronx Zoo and Botanical Gardens not far from there and "must see" NY sights.

I'm a South Carolinian who lived in Westchester County and worked daily in NYC for 15 years. Lots of places in the Tri State area will have their little enclaves of Italian American shops and restaurants but Arthur Ave is a world unto itself. You can find things here that you cannot find anywhere else - a paradise for cooks and food lovers and admirers of all things Italian. It is especially wonderful during the holidays and on warm summer evenings when you can stroll from shop to shop, having a gelato and hearing lots of Italian being spoken. On a warm, sunny day get a nice bottle of wine, some sparkling water, olives and roasted peppers, good bread , some really good cheeses and a blanket and flop on the grass somewhere in a nice park and relax, eat, take a nap. The best Little Italy, period. I miss it!

@sazji Год назад

This was great. I can think of several famous ethnic neighborhoods where the original one turns into a tourist attraction while the people in question actually have another more real, down-to-earth neighborhood that’s not so tourist famous. San Francisco’s Chinatown and Chicago’s first Greektown immediately come to mind, where normal folks live and interact. And how satisfying to find the flavors that match your memories from home, instead of Americanized versions. That grocery story reminded me of going into a normal Greek or Turkish grocery with none of the kitsch. It’s something I didn’t expect with a population that is so long-established in the US. But NY is always a gateway city, that’s what makes it so special. Next time I’m in NY I’ll definitely check out Arthur Ave.!

As a first generation Bronx born and raised Italian, this brought back memories. My mom would take us kids on the bus to Arthur Avenue. We'd go into the market where the vendors would have a little something to give us kids. A bite of cheese, a bit of salumi, a cookie, etc. As a kid, it was magical. We'd all have a shopping bag to carry on the bus home. We'd go to Domenick's for dinner on special occasions. Family style, no menu. My dad would order in Italian and dishes of delicious food would start appearing. I haven't been to Arthur Avenue in 30 years. I'm happy to see it hasn't changed that much. A little, but still the heart of Italian Bronx.

Can you guys write out a list of all the dishes and coffees you tried?? Would love to try every one of them, hopefully, one day! ❤️❤️ If I never make it out to Italy, i will be satisfied with this. THANK YOU!! What an amazingly kind and generous gesture by that man at the end! ❤️❤️❤️

I grew upon the Bronx. My grandparents were born in Italy and Sicily. My dad’s family shopped on Arthur Ave. Terranova breads, Madonnia’s etc. We ate in restaurants there. We had a favorite which closed . That is a wonderful Place to shop. I went to the Market years ago with my grandmother who lived on Crotona Ave which is a few blocks from Arthur Ave.

We are from HK, for years when visiting our relatives in NY, we always thought that the Little Italy in NYC is the only one until we discovered this one in Arthur Street neighbourhood. It really is most like the ones in Italian towns we have been. Love loading up the breads, biscotti and cheeses…oh the fresh pasta and delightful goodies chatting with the locals, charming and friendly folkss❤Not many people walked from the train station but good exercise during the summer days after eating. Enjoy!

First, I want to let you know that I absolutely adore you both!!! This video transported me back in time to my Italian heritage rooted in NYC, specifically Brooklyn. I moved to Colorado when I was 19 and each time I visited NY, there were fewer and fewer authentic Italian markets and restaurants. Now I know where to go next time I make a trip back. Grazie mille!!!

What a great vlog! Makes me want to book a flight now and stay around Arthur Ave in the Bronx. I always look for the cremosa in my caffe here in Florida, no luck. I have to go to Italy to get good espresso! Alessio was so joyful and you too Jessi. Omg Enzo I have to go! Andiamo ragazzi!

I grew up in the Bronx. Both my Parents came from the Arthur Ave area. Terra nova bread store was my favorite. My family always got the holiday and birthday cakes from the Arthur Ave bakeries. My grandmother and aunt lived on Crotona Ave near Arthur Ave. my grandmother shopped with us at the Arthur Ave market. There is s library near there where my parents went. My dad took us to Amelia’s Restaurant so very many times. Sadly he was sick and could not get there any more due to his illness. Many different restaurants there are so delicious.

Thank you for this amazing journey through Arthur Avenue! These are the kind of stores I want to visit and the kind of people I want to encounter! It brings me back to a special time in my life with my parents while growing up in our little Italian neighbourhood... The beautiful language and generosity touches the heart - and all this before you even taste the amazing food they so proudly offer! Grazie for bringing this to us vicariously through your excellent video! Your journey is our journey...

Thank you for this video. I have lived in NYC for eight years and have looked for descent Italian food. I have been to Arther Ave already but I did not know of Enzo’s (I ate at another place and had a disappointing, Italian American experience.). But, I know the markets there are like what you see in Italy (I am not Italian nor Italian American-I am French, Polish, PR, Swiss German American third generation from FL but visited Italy for ten days in 2007 and loved the food and markets there). Little Italy sadly has changed because of inflation and gentrification and COVID hurt that part of town because of Chinatown having Chinese immigrants so that explains why. However, the West Village and Nolita had Italian immigrants so there are traditional Italian places spotted here and there. Little Italy still has good shops but the food is more Italian American which is ok but at the same time I crave real deal Italian food too. Once again, thanks and I hope you enjoyed your trip to NYC. I love it in NYC-great place.

My family use to live in the Bronx close to Arthur Ave back in the 70's I was to young to appreciate it. After watching your video I now want to go visit. I do miss all the delicious home made Italian foods

@lisad4013 Год назад

OMG I’ve dreamed of waking up in a cantina like that!! Don’t forget Brovade and Muset!! We eat it at all of our special occasions. Oh! And by the way, my nonna said that when she came here and they tried feeding her rapini and she said that was cow food back home LOL 😂 you guys always make my heart a little bit warmer when I watch your videos!! 💕

@@ThePasinis the pleasure is all mine! The only thing that would be even better if Alessio would speak in Furlan 💕👍 my relatives still speak it here in Canada but I hear that the dialect is disappearing in Italy! We have a place by my house called Famee Furlane and we used to go all the time for events :) I love the language! I took Italian class in school but I got all the answers wrong because I answered in Furlan 😆 “no signorina, it’s gatto not gjat” 😆 Ps. My daughter’s middle name is Alessia 😎

Thank you for showing this special video on little Italy

@sponge6520 Год назад

Thank you for this video it brought great memories and tears too my eyes. I grew up in an Italian neighborhood in Mt. Vernon N.Y. There were some incredible little Italian restaurants in town but our go to spot for holiday provisions and great food was Arthur Ave. At the time "Dominics" was our favorite restaurant there. Family style seating which meant you sat at long tables with strangers. No menu, waiter would come and ask what you want and as long as they had fresh ingredients for that dish then the chef made it. I now am retired and live in Puerto Rico, got here after living in Mexico, Hawaii, and Virgin Islands. And never in all the places I've lived have I ate as good Italian food as Arthur Ave.

@gkennedy2998 Год назад

As a Fordham University graduate, I can say that I expected that all Italian restaurants would be as good as the homestyle eateries in Belmont. Was I ever wrong! Outside of Italy, you can't find better food than Arthur Avenue in the Belmont neighborhood of The Bronx.

@worldover4616 2 месяца назад

I grew up in Mt. Vernon as well. I'm an Italian-American. My Italian neighborhood everyone knew each other, couldn't get away with anything. By the time I would get home my family would already know from one of the old ladies dressed in black sitting on the stoop.

I am going to Arthur Ave. as soon as I can. The food looks so good, fresh and the shop owners are so proud of wears. Thank you for sharing this street with us. Let us hope many people also enjoyed this video too.
