Tra Amici [Between Friends] is a relative newcomer to Little Italy. The site is, however, the former location of the popular Bar Italia where Italian men gathered to socialize, watch Italian soccer on television and have a caffè [espresso] and gelato [Italian ice cream]. Women would rush in, get their gelato and rush out. When the Edmonton media wanted to get a community reaction to a World Cup game, they would go there.
