Hilly, historic, and close to everything.

Omaha Restaurants Festivals Community Location

South of the Old Market, north of the Henry Doorly Zoo, and directly across the Missouri River from Council Bluffs, Iowa's casinos (Harrah's and Ameristar), Little Italy is a hilly and historic neighborhood in a fantastic location. This neighborhood formed during the late 1800s and became a key area during Prohibition -- bootlegging operations were headed by Tom Dennison, a major crime boss in the 1920s with ties to Al Capone.

Today's Little Italy is very different -- it features several landmarks, some of the best Italian restaurants in Omaha, and it is home to one of the city's longest-running festivals, the Festival of Santa Lucia. Choosing a Little Italy apartment places you just minutes from the shops and restaurants of the Old Market, Heartland of America Park, and the Durham Museum.
