A cultural and economic heart of Bronx and New York, the Belmont area of Bronx, known as Bronx Little Italy, is a vibrant center of authentic Italian culture and a thriving business district. It attracts thousands of tourists every year for its superb restaurants, artisanal food stores, and specialty stores that sell local handmade and imported items not easily found anywhere else.

Developed in the early days of the nation, Bronx Little Italy has an Old World vibe created by generations of Italian-American families that settled in it, combining a European small town feel with a modern urban setting. Some of the area’s most famous residents were Joe Pesci, Anne Bancroft, Chazz Palminteri, and Robert de Niro.
