Little Italy is a neighborhood in Downtown Paterson , New Jersey . The neighborhood is bound roughly by College Boulevard and Memorial Drive to the north, Cianci Street to the west, Ward Street to the south and Main Street to the east. ^[1] Cianci Street is named for pastor of the St. Michael's Catholic church, Monsignor Carlo M.
