things to do

Named one of “The Great Streets of America” by the American Planners Association in 2016, the real Little Italy is the best place to buy fresh pasta, cheese, meats and pastries and is filled with many top-rated restaurants offering authentic Italian cuisine.

Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia spear-headed one of the neighborhood’s most beloved attractions, the Arthur Avenue Retail Market – a kind of covered Italian bazaar that brings together under one roof all the shopping also found on nearby streets, from sausage makers to bread bakers, cafe’s to florists.

Arties is a favorite for both locals and visitors who relish the restaurant’s casual classic Mediterranean feel. Customers enjoy a spirited setting at the cocktail lounge recognized for its grand copper lamps hanging overhead. Join the friendly crowd and experience our fantastic selection of wines by the glass or one of our famous jumbo martinis.

In the great tradition of Italian-American family-grown businesses, the Bronx’s Artuso Pastry has become a nationally recognized culinary treasure through dedication and authenticity, one fabulous cannoli at a time.
