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.
