Belmont, The Real Little Italy on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx, NY

The section of the Bronx, known as Belmont, on Arthur Avenue, offers a great experience in a part of town that many consider being the Real Little Italy. This area of town offers many unique shops and restaurants, as well as the delicious flavor of old the country. Belmont's ambience has been preserved for more than 80 years by those who came to find refuge, not only from the poverty of Europe, but from the suffocating tenements of Mulberry Street. You will find the delicious aromas of garlic and basil wafting into the streets from delicious authentic eateries and Mediterranean gardens.  

You will find deli's stocked with an array of salamis, cheeses, and ready to eat pasta dishes along with neatly stacked tins of olive oil and tin cans of tomatoes lining the streets. This is a great part of town for anybody to enjoy, but be sure to take your appetite for great authentic Italian food.
