About Little Italy

A small grid of streets settled by Italian immigrants in the late 1800s, centred on St. Leo’s church. Family-run Italian restaurants, pastry shops and summer traditions like outdoor film nights and bocce keep its character.

Many restaurants are in rowhouses with small rooms; book ahead at weekends.
It is a short walk from Harbor East and the Inner Harbor.
