This spin-off of the popular Little Italy original, which was established in 1909, features the same menu of salads, sandwiches, pizza, pasta and desserts. Signature items include the "pizza strudel," hot sandwiches made with pizza dough instead of bread. The space features a similar kitschy Italian-inspired décor as the other locations. The founding family sold the company to David Morton, of the steak house clan in 2004.
