Our family has owned this home for generations! You can say the neighborhood chose us :)
Little Italy is a small historic neighborhood in Omaha, Nebraska, known for being the longtime home of Italian (especially Sicilian) immigrants who settled there in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Originally built up by Italian laborers who worked for the Union Pacific Railroad, the area once included family-owned shops, social halls, churches, and businesses that supported a close-knit immigrant community. It is located just south of downtown Omaha, generally between Pacific Street (north), Center Street (south), South 10th Street (west), and the Missouri River (east).
Today, Little Italy continues to celebrate its heritage with historic landmarks like Santa Lucia Hall and annual cultural traditions, alongside local restaurants, bakeries, and a mix of historic and modern housing. Despite changes over time, the neighborhood still reflects the strong Italian roots that helped shape Omaha’s history.
