The Little Italy Lodge — part of the Order Sons and Daughters of Italy — has long been a gathering place for the neighborhood's families and friends, carrying forward the fraternal traditions and Italian-American heritage at the center of community life here.

The Lodge is perhaps best known for its Friday Night Dinners — a warm, casual spread open to members and guests, and a fine reason to spend a Friday evening in Little Italy. The Lodge also hosts indoor pasta dinners and Bingo during the summer feast-day festivals.
