Old-school neighborhood that’s home to Italian food mecca Arthur Avenue
Belmont in the Bronx is a “classic, traditional, old-school New York neighborhood” with 100-plus-year-old restaurants and life-long residents, says Frank Franz, treasurer of the local Business Improvement District who lives in the Belmont home his grandfather built in the early 1900s. Many of his neighbors have similar roots in the area. “That feeling of family, that we’re all in this together, still exists here.” Belmont is famous for Italian fare on Arthur Avenue, home to some of those century-old eateries, and is adjacent to the Bronx Zoo and The New York Botanical Garden. Fordham University borders Belmont to the north and its students bring “youth and vitality to the neighborhood,” Franz says. Belmont’s central location and convenient transit links mean residents can reach Westchester or Midtown in under 20 minutes.
Dominick's serves some of the most authentic Italian food in the Belmont community.
Known as The Real Little Italy, Belmont is a Bronx neighborhood that inspires discoveries.

“The real Little Italy”
For Italian fare, it doesn’t get much better than Arthur Avenue—outside of Italy, that is. For old-world Neapolitan food, there’s Mario’s Restaurant, founded in 1919, Franz says. Before a Yankee game, he might get the gang together at Dominick’s, a laid-back Italian spot. For date night, it’s Roberto’s, but to see friends from the neighborhood, Franz heads to Antonio’s Trattoria for comfort food. Arthur Avenue is also lined with food shops, many just as historic as the restaurants. The Arthur Avenue Retail Market has stands selling meat and produce, and The Bronx Beer Hall is under its roof. Down the street, there’s Cassa Della Mozzarella for fresh cheese. “All of our food shops—bread, cheese, meat, fish, whatever it may be—sell the best around in terms of quality and price,” Franz notes. “We have the best bread in the city. And when you go into Madonia Bakery, Mr. Madonia is there.”

Townhouses and multi-family buildings
Belmont’s streets are lined with brick rowhouses and low-rise multi-family buildings. A single-family home with three bedrooms and a garage starts at around $700,000. A three-family property ranges from about $800,000 to just under $1 million, while a six-family building costs around $1.2 million. Many owners of multi-family buildings live in one of the units and rent out the others. A few large rental projects are going up in the area, such as the 165-unit Arabella, which is set to be completed by the end of 2024.

The annual Ferragosto Festival
The neighborhood’s annual Ferragosto Festival is a homecoming of sorts, attracting tens of thousands to Belmont in September. Local businesses bring their food and goods to the streets to feed the throngs, and there’s entertainment all day, from opera singers to Doo Wop hits. Dating to 18 B.C., the festival honors Caesar Augustus, the first Roman emperor.
On the Edge of the Bronx Zoom and the New York Botanical Garden
Bronx Park, a more than 700-acre expanse that contains the world-renowned Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Garden, borders Belmont to the east. Both are privately run, offering year-round events for New Yorkers of all stripes. Small triangle parks, squares and playgrounds are scattered around the neighborhood, including Ciccarone Park. Off Arthur Avenue, it has a bocce ball court and a playground with a splash pad.
The Bronx Zoo is a great place to take the family just outside the Belmont neighborhood.
