Little Italy

Nestled among San Jose’s multi-faceted cultural pockets, you’ll find an example of its rich history in Little Italy. The neighborhood was the original Italian immigrant neighborhood in Downtown San Jose, dating back to the 1880's.

Though Little Italy is only a few blocks long, you’ll find no shortage of delicious food and Italian pride. The neighborhood is crowned by an iconic 31 foot Little Italy sign, perfect for pictures. Visitors can stop by Henry’s Hi-Life restaurant, which was originally the site of the Torino Hotel, where Italian immigrant field workers would live while working in the fields. Now it serves as Little Italy’s spot for superb BBQ.

If you’re looking for some classic and hearty Italian fare, look no further than Paesano Ristorante Italiano, the cornerstone of Little Italy. Situated right next to the Little Italy sign, the intimate eatery will leave you wishing you had room for more of their delectable bites.

Ethnic enclave populated by Italians

For other uses, see Little Italy (disambiguation).

Little Italy is the catch-all name for an ethnic enclave populated primarily by Italians or people of Italian ancestry, usually in an urbanneighborhood. The concept of "Little Italy" holds many different aspects of the Italian culture. There are shops selling Italian goods as well as Italian restaurants lining the streets. A "Little Italy" strives essentially to have a version of the country of Italy placed in the middle of a large non-Italian city. This sort of enclave is often the result of periods of Italian immigration, during which people of the same culture settled or were ostracized and segregated together in certain areas. As cities modernized and grew, these areas became known for their ethnic associations, and ethnic neighborhoods like "Little Italy" blossomed, becoming the areas they are today.
