So is Greek Town and Jew Town and the rest of the near west side neighborhood.

[@ilahildasissac1943]

I never knew the neighborhood was originally French and Irish. I have to visit Notre Dame.

[@chicagolandnation635]

So where did the Italian community move to after they left little Italy? Elmwood Park?

[@Humiliatusservus_Altissimo]

New Lennox, IL and Tinley Park IL

[@tempestsquall5882]

Some decided it was better to just go back to Italy or went further south.

[@SkaterOrnez]

The damn place is taken up by uic

[@cominghometorome811]

Had nothing to do with Italian ( pfft ) interviews a black woman who owns a restaurant and then interviews a bald-headed Irish man thumbs way down to this video 👎

[@ilahildasissac1943]

I want to try Sweet Maple Cafe.

[@MrTrooperjoe7]

Tell it brother! Italian Americans are just a joke to people these days. "you like pasta and pizza." Alot of our history in US is super Americanized, or stereotyped. Cant we just some Italians talking about Italian area and culture at least.

[@perrymason4208]

Where are the Taylor Street Jousters and Taylor Street Lords?

[@NachoMamaNow]

Florence was right, UIC was the beginning of the end of Little Italy. Gennero's and the rest of small authentic Italian restaurants are long gone and in their place are tattoo parlors etc. Tufano's is the last man standing.

[@willowclay5406]

The Italians moved to Florida lol!

[@bigcamote1080]

Why do they even call it little Italy? They need to call it little Asia.

[@tritevly]

Di molto

[@yehorboiko4883]

Di molto cosa, ceh che cazzo vuol dire?

[@markapiua1289]

Yeah! "peasant food in chicago " ...With rich man prices..Per favore !

[@RickAlaska]

This is worthless in general. And especially worthless for lack of “Italian” as its topic.
