Towns at Little Italy Different ages, different personalities, different stories to tell – it’s what makes The Towns at Little Italy a great place to live. Settle onto your front porch and visit with neighbors, make a quick trip to the corner market or head over to your favorite Italian restaurant. Be as private or as social as you want. The Towns is a neighborhood, within a neighborhood, just steps away from the 8Street Apartments. Look for the fork sculpture and you know you’re there. Orsi's Bakery & Pizzeria There’s a belief that our earliest memories are captured by our sense of smell. If you’re lucky, your first days were spent within blocks of Orsi’s Bakery and Pizzeria. A cornerstone of Omaha’s Little Italy neighborhood, Orsi’s signature bread is as much a daily staple to locals as it is central to family celebrations and reunions. And to avoid the cliché about not living on bread alone, Orsi’s is happy to accommodate with its sensational pizzas, Italian meats, cheeses and olives, garlic bread and baked items, Italian sausage and other specialties. What a perfect neighbor to your home in the 8Street Apartments. Fork Fest Humans are social creatures by nature – Fork Fest is the ultimate excuse to come together. Originally conceived as an event to celebrate the installation of artist Jake Balcom’s Fork sculpture, Fork Fest features food, music, a bocce ball tournament and lots of great socialization. In it’s third year, Fork Fest is a new tradition in the historic Little Italy neighborhood that’s known for its unique culture and customs. Bella Vita From one of the neighborhood’s busy family grocery stores, to a well-loved and revitalized private home and apartments, Bella Vita or ‘beautiful life,’ couldn’t be more aptly named. Just around the corner from 8Street Apartments in the heart of Omaha’s little Italy, the former Piccolo Pete’s Grocery and home to the family of the same name, was originally built in 1925. Today, its exterior reflects the new urbanism of the Little Italy neighborhood – complete with awnings and window boxes of yesterday and second-story views of Omaha’s modern downtown including the ConAgra campus, Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge, Durham Museum and just blocks to the Old Market. Italian Gardens The next best thing to making rustic Italian fare in your own kitchen, Italian Gardens is that neighbor everyone wants to have. Made from scratch using authentic Italian recipes, the restaurant pays homage to the history of its Little Italy neighborhood. As owner Jeff Camp puts it, “the recipes and cooking methods we use are all authentic, just what you’d expect to find in a kitchen that’s more than 60 years old.” While residents surrounding the 8Street Apartments look at the restaurant as a favorite gathering place, Italian Gardens draws from throughout the city. Giovanna Rows Florence, Naples, Milan, Venice, Rome – the classic Italian architecture of Giovanna Rows is as authentic as its red tile roofs, cornices and brightly colored stucco finishes. Right at home in Omaha’s Little Italy neighborhood and within easy distance of 8Street Apartments, it’s as welcoming to residents who have lived down here all their lives as it is to those who are drawn to the neighborhood's historic past and close proximity to some of Omaha’s favorite attractions – Old Market, Orsi’s Bakery and Pizzeria, Sons of Italy, ConAgra campus, Blue Barn Theater and more. CrossFit Gym While leisurely evening strolls are a perfect pastime in the 8Street Apartments’ Little Italy neighborhood, CrossFit Gym on South 7th Street caters more to those inspired by the philosophy of functional fitness. In fact, it’s one of 3800 CrossFit affiliates worldwide. It's a sport that draws people who embrace running, rowing, body weight movement, gymnastics power lifting and Olympic-style lifting and it is part of programming on ESPN where participants complete to be the fittest man and fittest woman alive. It’s the contemporary melting pot of work out and sitting out, historic and contemporary, early bird and night owl. CO2 on Tenth Street Project A community within a neighborhood, a mix of urban modern and historic past – all united by the idea that we’re all connected. Like the new 8Street Apartments, C02 is yet another reason to call Omaha’s Little Italy neighborhood home. Here, ecologically friendly design lives side by side with single-family homes that have housed generations of families. In addition to interior living spaces that emphasize sustainability of design, CO2 also promotes outdoor spaces that promote a sense of community with open green spaces, community plant and herb garden, patio, fire pit, dog run and more. So you give up the convention of suburban living without giving up anything you love about the outdoors. Sons of Italy Even if the word “ciao” is not part of your everyday vernacular, there’s a good chance that you’re familiar with the warm hospitality of Omaha’s Sons of Italy, ambassadors of the city’s historic Little Italy neighborhood. One of the nation’s leading service and advocacy groups for people of Italian descent, the Sons of Italy originally worked to assist newcomers with jobs, housing and assimilation into American society. Today, it’s perhaps best known for its weekly Thursday mid-day dinners and Friday night meals, the proceeds of which continue to help needy and charitable groups throughout the city. They’re great neighbors to have so close to the place you call home at 8Street Apartments. House of Loom Like its name and the neighborhood it calls home, the House of Loom intertwines art and music, socialization and deep conversation, dance, design and more – something it calls ‘loom: weaving the social fabric through dance.’ It’s a Bohemian space that finds itself right at home between the popular Old Market and Little Italy, right on 10th Street, even if it is a little below street level. While you may find it at the end of a leisurely stroll from your 8Street Apartments home or a planned late night excursion with friends, House of Loom does just what it promises, serving culture, community and craft cocktails.
