Actual Italian immigrants are scare on the ground these days, so I'm not convinced you'd see anything particularly unique in e.g. the Arthur Avenue section of the Bronx. But I could be wrong.
I think there's a store in Chelsea Market (my brother lives there and sent me some OO) called the Filling Station which has some nice choices. I can't speak to the veracity of their origin, but that place will have a lot of choices and you will be able to get a very peppery, very strong oil (I am a big fan of Hojiblanca if you see it, but anything toward the more peppery end is my preference).

Anyone know a good olive oil obtainable in NYC?
(I'd rather not pay huge shipping fees for some of the other things listed here.)
If you are okay with Greek olive oil (and you probably should be) go over to Astoria and visit one of the Greek supermarkets.

The Union Square Whole Foods has a good selection. See also this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6162695.
