But that is in Nassau County, Long Island and then far eastern Nassau County at that (bordering Suffolk County) . . . not in New York City. Unless the OP is also considering any and all areas in the greather New York metro area at-large (not just limiting himself to New York City proper).
Hmmm, I wasn't aware that Middle Village is deemed to be "heavily Italian." I've just passed through it or on the fringes of it a few times in the past. I guess I'll explore it more in-depth some time to get to know it better (just to be knowledgeable of different areas of the city).
If you do, I recommend exploring the area around Juniper Park.

Thinking about central Queens in general (especially the greater Queens Boulevard-adjoining neighborhoods & greater vicinity), I'd love to live in Forest Hills Gardens. Ah, the best of both worlds (suburban-like, beautiful and idyllic yet situated in a very convenient location in the heart of the city . . . convenient to shopping & services, multiple modes of transportation, et al). Hey, I can dream, can't I?
No way is Arthur avenue italian, let alone heavily Italian. It's Hispanic now. Mostly Mexican and Puerto Ricans. There may be a few Albanians in the area too.

Indeed it is, but that's where the Italians all went.
I think like 60% of the residents claim Italian ancestry and all originated from NYC.
Italians left in large droves.
Culturally they like to be around their own kind.
Bensonhurst still has some Italians left but is heavily Chinese now.
Damn, it's almost like every neighborhood I bring up has lost its majority Italian population. Beside Howard Beach, are they all gone now?
