- San Diego was a perfect start to our West Coast trip. But today, we're heading up to Los Angeles. No, not Hollywood. Not yet anyway. Instead, we're making a stop by a historic and special little town known as San Pedro.
Join John, Rossella and Pat as they literally eat their way through America's NEWEST Little Italy. From the historic restaurants, stores and bakery, to a seafood wonderland like you've never seen, San Pedro is a place best visited on an empty stomach. Pull up a chair, sit back and enjoy, and make sure to come back soon for the rest of our Italian adventures through the Golden State!
Presented as a joint project from The Italian American Podcast and The Italian Sons and Daughters of America (ISDA), and in association with Joe Minnella Studios LLC, we present Greetings From Italian America
Join us each month for a fresh look at one of the best parts of this country of ours… the Italian side!

When i was in high school, my friends and i used to walk to Joseph's pizza for lunch. All of us used to get a slice of cheese pizza. That was back in 83. Now its 2023 and i still go there
I've been to San Pedro a zillion times and didn't know any of this. Thank you for this video.
Yeah San pedro born and raised baby! Joseph's bakery is one of the last old school shops still open just like busy bee.
I LOVE SAN PEDRO CALIFORNIA!!!!
San Pedro now has an Italian Festival, every year in October! So awesome! Hope to see it continue to grow!
Los Angeles did have a little Italy 🇮🇹 it used to be where china town is now. And right over the bridge in Lincoln heights had a booming Italian immigrant population and can’t forget San Antonio winery and the old Italian market/deli that’s still there!
Next door to A-1 is Marabella Vineyard where San Pedro Italians go to buy our grapes and winemaking supplies. The best place right under your nose and you missed it. It it located in a section of town known as Vinegar Hill cuz every home used to make their own wine. They literally share a wall with the A1 Market.
A1 and Sorrentos, our favorite Italian place in San Pedro and yes Joseph's Bakery got the best pizza.
Excellent broadcast, again!
You guys missed a Few GREAT hot spots!
La Boca Feliz, Raffaello Ristorante, Niko’s and Big Nicks! And that
Marabella Vineyard shop next door to A1 market has been there of 80 years selling wine and supplies to make your own wine.
San Pedro market = Little coastal Mexico.
Beautiful 1970 growing up in Downey, remember my Italian brothers , i was called Francesco We had so much fun. Mexicano Beverly Hills Downey California , I speak Spanglish with family and fiends and work and business, English only. Working Class Community.. 😢
Great video. A few more places to consider are Raffaello Ristorante, Nikko's Pizzeria, Bonello's New York Pizza and the Original Giulliano's Delicatessen in Gardena.
WOW! We knew we we're gonna have to come back to San Pedro... now we've got a whole 'nother episode already! Thanks for watching!
Just at Niko's this week.
So sad that the Giullianos Gardena location is the only original one left. Growing up in Redondo Beach I lived off their sandwiches as a kid. Since they changed ownership, I will not go near that place...its just not the same
My grandfather was from Caccamo, Sicily. His farm was not in San Pedro, but nearby in Downey. I live close to San Pedro and buy my Italian groceries at A1. So happy you made this video as I was unaware of the other restaurants you featured. I now have a place for arancini, which I have been trying to find locally since visiting Sicily years ago. Grazie!
That's exactly why we do the series... so many wonderful places are still unknown even by locals! Not only are there arancini nearby... they are AMAZING! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful! I love these and look forward to them! ❤️🇮🇹👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Beautiful informative video 👌
Buonos is great
Awesome video. Well done. We go to San Pedro a lot. We love it there. The new waterfront will be amazing. Kudos to
Councilman Joe Buscaino for spearheading the revitalization of San Pedro. Next time, please include Sorrento's Italian Restaurant too.
I recall San Pedro on Mad Men. I never heard of it prior. Cool to learn about "Little Italy's in CA.
Keep up the great job you guys do! 👍👍👍
Che bello vedervi in CA. I love your videos!!! A dopo paesani...🇮🇹🇺🇲🇮🇹🇺🇲
I’m so grateful for your informative presentations, you show us the door 🚪 to theses treasures and I’m glad to have experienced them 💯 Keep going please, this channel is valuable indeed. 🇮🇹 👍😊
Thank you Joe for mentioning Mary Star of The Sea.
Have a soft spot in my heart for San Pedro. Just
found your channel and enjoying (new sub).
Ottimo video , è sempre un piacere vedere il cibo. Dovete essere in paradiso! Il mercato del pesce era fantastico! La Madona con la barca era la mia parte preferita del video. I miei nonni hanno aiutato a costruire una piccola chiesa a nord di New York, come hanno fatto molti italiani. È davvero una bella statua per tutti gli italoamericani!
Where in Northern NY?? We are ALWAYS looking for destinations!
@@ItalianAmerican A very small town called Norwich, NY below Utica. The Italian population was mainly from the island of Lipari. The Church of St. Bartholomew was the name of the church. As far as restaurants I don't think there is too much. I think there is one Italian restaurant owned by recent immigrants. Nearby Binghamton or Utica may have more to offer. Endicott, NY actually has a Little Italy. There is also a Little Italy Heritage Museum. Frank Capra depicted Upstate, NY Italians in the movie "What a Wonderful Life". Which is based on Seneca Falls. I think Upstate NY has a rich Italian American History, but it is spread throughout the state. I think just about every town has an Italian American heritage festival in the summer.Just a note of interest West Virginia actually has an interesting Italian American History.
That's interesting James...
@@LearnItalianconLAmericano Why thank you Bob. Grazie Mille!
Great episode. Really glad I found your podcast and enjoying these videos. They’re both very well done.
Thanks Robert, that means so much to us. Thanks for listening AND watching!
Thank you for your beautiful video ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹
Wow… This is so awesome. I love hearing and seeing things about my beautiful city that I called home for such a long time. And having so many of my relatives being a part of this wonderful video. I’m a Trani and a Mattera. Tommy Amalfitano and Mackey Ungaro used to get fish from my dad, John Mattera (his dad was Mike Mattera). I’m also related to them through marriage twice once on each side. So many stories my dad shared with me. Mary Star of the Sea … so many memories. My dad said the same thing …. The fishermen made that Church possible. Sister Catherine Rose (principle) used to carry me around all the time.
But what about Busy Bee Sandwiches??? We can’t forget about that little gem.
Loved all the restaurants and markets especially the fish market! Thanks guys. ❤️
Us too! What a great town! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this video. As an Italian American, I have been very curious to learn more about the newly created Little Italy in LA. The video was very informative. San Pedro will definitely be on my list of places to visit the next time I visit LA.
Love the fish market . Amazing. Thank you
So did we, what a surpride that was! Thanks for watching.
Just watched the video. A long time listener of the podcast, it's my first viewing the video. I am a LA Italian American. Born, raised and lived here my whole 72 years. I love IAMLA and Marianna's contribution to our heritage. Thanks for a clear and accurate representation of my Italian LA.
Great video!
My home town. Hope you enjoyed it.
great video I am learning so much about my culture ⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️🇮🇹
Grazie! We're glad you enjoy!
Great tour of San Pedro. I am going there next week because of your podcast and this video.
Fish market is on my travel plan!
Have fun! We're all jealous! Say hi to our new friends for us, tell 'em we sent you! Thanks for watching!
It’s mad fun I live here and it’s a blast
I was raised in San Pedro (Peeedro, not Pay-dro!) but moved to NorCal in the 90's. Buono's meatball sandwich is my absolute favorite and I have one every time I'm in town. When visiting my family in Pedro last year, I went to the fish market with my sister but it was so confusing on how to order, we left - hungry! Next time I'll ask someone for assistance because it looks amazing!
Nice video, well researched
and edited.
Much credit to Bueno's for his vision and investment
in his new place on 6th Street. I love the food and
modern decor and great vibe from the cool staff
all stylish attired in sleek black.
He also has a couple restaurants, just down the way in Long Beach.
Bravi complimenti bel video
Great video thanks 👍👍👍🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Glad you enjoyed it... San Pedro is awesome. Thanks for watching!
Don’t forget Busy Bee!
That's crazy, I live just down the street from the fish market and always assumed it was Mexican owned. You learn something new every day!
What about Sorrentos Pizza House! Best Pizza in San Pedro.... and Raffaellos Ristorante.... best sit down italian in the world. Both are more entrenched staples of San Pedro than most of the places showcased on the program.
Agree with rafaellos. Place is great.
Try eatalian cafe in Gardena best pizza around
Bonello's best pizza in town
Rafaellos is Calabrese. My grandparents were from Calabria. The south is thoroughly represented here.
RIP Signore Ungaro❤
We can see Ischia from our house in Minturno. Only on a really clear day tho.
An Italian community in San Pedro???
Man the only place I would go to a lot while driving by was Big Nick’s pizza off Gaffey. Where is that bakery located? Looks delicious!
Rafaelo's and Sorento's on your next visit. Missed a gem with Rafaelo's
Thank you for posting a feature on my hometown of San Pedro, California. It brought back memories of my childhood on Saturday mornings when I would ride my Stingray bike over to Joseph’s bakery and buy a slice of their delicious homemade pizza. I still visit my hometown a couple times a year. Btw, the locals affectionately call their town “Peedro.” When you hear somebody say “San Pedro” you know they’re a visitor. 😉
San pedro is technically LA was represented by a italian council member of the LA city council
@@josephaugello1527 yep, however, people that grew up there and locals consider “Peedro” a separate entity from LA.
@Robert Staffieri not anymore they had a ballot measure with the valley. Hollywood los feliz and eagle rock to leave LA it failed there stuck now with the city of LA. There is tension between LA and long beach just looks at them as LA it gets reinforced frequently now that there LA
@@josephaugello1527 PLS TRY TO COMPREHEND WHAT ROBERT WAS SAYING. DON'T BE TOO ARGUMENTATIVE.
@user-er5ro7ir9t take your own advise nothing will change the fact that's its LA and it will never change or be a city. Nothing else to say. .it will never be it's own place it the city of LA and nothing can change that. It seems that you need to go back to school and learn how things work. Someone got sued over a zipcode issue it was next to burbank the location had a burbank zip code but it was not burbank it was LA the sun valley area. I know people that live there they consider it LA I had some one here talk about to. Only people that want to get in trouble would consider something fake anyone in long beach will tell you it's LA. San Pedro has been LA for 100 years. Robert is lost . I know people that will not live there to because it's the city of LA. They want no part of LA.
♥️🇮🇹
San Pee-dro is nice but you should see San Pay-dro.
HM, former resident North Beach, SF, another Little Italy
Ischia
Does Joeseph's Bakery do pizza by the slice? Whole ones are just way too much for me. :p
Yes, they sell by the slice :)
Oh yeah A1 almost forgot
this would pop up right as I'm recovering from stomach surgery :(
That IS bad timing! Sorry, but thanks for watching!
You missed Sorrentos
It's San Pee-dro, not Pay-dro.
From its founding days. SAN PEE-DROH. I lived there for 3 years and the locals call it SAN PEEDROH.
Louisville Kentucky is pronounced LUAHVUL. NOT LOUISVILLE.
Speedro
San PEE-dro? 😳😳🙄🙄
Yep... we always try to use the same pronounciation as the locals!
Come on man. No one born and raised here says Pay dro.
@@hairyelder5019 It still sounds ridiculous, not to mention it is wrong.
@@valsainking says who?
@@hairyelder5019 Any speaker of Spanish.

My Dad came from Palermo, Sicily in 1906 at the age of 3. Lived in New York until the mid late 30's and moved to Northern California. I grew up in the Bay Area. San Francisco's Little Italy, Fisherman's Warf and The Playland were my favorite sport growing up. Living in Los Angeles since 1964 when I was 19. Finally nice to see a real "Little Italy" in Southern California !
Grazie! We couldn't agree more... It is a GREAT Little Italy!
