250 AMERICAN-ITALIAN Places, One for Every Year.
Italian-American’s are a big part of the last 250 years of the United States. One of the earliest immigrant groups to arrive after the country was established and arguably one of the most impactful to the USA we live in today.
So to celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary I thought I’d share a list of 250 American-Italian spots. They run from Red Sauce Joints to pizzeries to delis and sandwich shops. This is not a ranking, it’s just a list.
It’s organized from newest to oldest.
Have fun scrolling through.
