Cleveland’s Little Italy made our list for its contributions to Italian culture. In addition to all the restaurants, the area claims a lot of firsts. Cleveland’s Little Italy was the site of the first Italian restaurant in Ohio. The first pasta machine was invented here, patented in 1906. And, if the stories are to be believed, the area was a major base of operations for that other Italian import, the Mafia. Finally, the area is the site of the first restaurant of a major celebrity chef: The one and only Chef Boyardee.
