When visiting Little Italy, make sure to explore the neighborhood on foot to fully appreciate its charm and ambiance. Start your pizza adventure by visiting iconic spots like Lombardi's, America's first pizzeria, or grab a slice at the popular Rubirosa. Don't forget to complement your pizza with a refreshing Italian soda or a glass of Chianti. Exploring the local shops and bakeries can add more flavor to your visit, where you can pick up some freshly made cannoli or gelato.
