Little Italy, Cleveland Restaurant

In the mid 1800s an Italian sculpture Joseph Carrabelli, began his famous granite and marble works at the top of the ‘hill’ on Mayfield Rd. The area between the railroad and the top of the ‘hill’ became home to Carrabelli and the many Italian families that came to Cleveland to work, and Little Italy was born. Today the traditions hold strong with the rich cultural heritage and the spirit of artistry that Joseph Garabelli began over 130 years ago. Over 20 galleries, 15 restaurants, many professional-service businesses, two schools and Holy Rosary Church thrive in this village.
