No where else in this city can you get better gelato (or Canolis) than in Little Italy. If you're looking for Italian this is the place to go. Ferarra's is always a favorite for dessert and coffee. You can dine in or grab something to go. Make sure you visit during the San Gernnaro Festival (happens every September). It's a... More

We went here during the street fair and it was a lot of fun. We enjoyed hanging and playing games and eating all the fattening foods. Fun atmosphere, especially if your a guido!

Wandered into Little Italy from Chinatown - it was really cold and snowy so we stopped off for a coffee and the local delicacy - cannoli. There wasn't much to do (apart from shops) so we just wandered around and then walked along to the Brooklyn Bridge to take in the views.

A great place to go for lunch & a pastry or gelato - lots of vendors for shopping and you spend time on Canal st. browsing the shops. Good experience but not Rome

It was amazing walking in the legendary Little Italy, but the area was pretty much eaten by the China Town Quarter and what was left was a street with a number of restaurants and shops with the Italian flag
