THE ALTA HOUSE
In the Heart of Cleveland’s Little Italy

From its beginnings as a settlement house for Italian Immigrants, the Alta House was a “home away from home” for those growing up in Cleveland’s Little Italy neighborhood. More than a century later, this important landmark is still the heart of the community, where we honor the Italian heritage, but all are welcome.

Our Mission.
Alta House, Northern Ohio’s Italian Cultural Center in Little Italy, is dedicated to the preservation and enrichment of Italian culture and heritage and serves as a social and local community center offering guidance, programs and related services to individuals and organizations. With a goal to strengthening the Italian American community, the Alta House supports the continual progressive development of the Little Italy area by working together with residents, businesses, government and like-minded organizations.
