Is there still a "Little Italy" area on the south side or has that faded away?
Rochellis (sp?) was a good place to eat. The old man who owned the place used to walk around and bark at the servers a lot. Always got a kick out of that.
The south side is still has a lot of Italians, but not concentrated in one neighborhood like the old area, just south of downtown where the cultural center is and Graziano's are located. But yeah, for blocks and blocks around the Columbus park it was all Italian for decades. Not anymore. There used be a lot of Italian business right in that area too, most have closed.
