Located in the Belmont neighborhood of the Bronx, Arthur Ave (a.k.a. the “real” Little Italy) has some of the best red sauce restaurants in the city. It’s also where you’ll find a bunch of great delis, salumerias, pastry shops, and stores that sell novelty aprons with cartoon nonnas on them. Our 11 favorite spots include sit-down places with old-school Italian American energy, a fresh mozzarella monger, a sidewalk oyster bar, and a famous pork store with hot soppressata hanging from the ceiling—plus a great Albanian restaurant, too.
