Cleveland’s Little Italy

By Linda Tancs

In the area that is now Mayfield and Murray Hill roads you’ll find Cleveland, Ohio’s Little Italy. Just east of downtown, the walkable neighborhood was established by Italian immigrants in the 19th century. It features old-school Italian cafes, bakeries and pizzerias as well as art galleries and wine shops. Be sure to see the outdoor murals as well. The Mayfield Road mural tells the story of Italian-Americans; you’ll find others in the alleys.
