little italy at a glance

Little Italy (Toronto), sometimes referred to as "College Street West" or "College and Clinton", is one of the numerous Italian Canadian neighbourhoods in Toronto, and is the best known. Little Italy is a chic and trendy district that is centred around a restaurant/bar/shopping strip along College Street, the heart of which being the intersection of College and Clinton Streets. The sidewalks are typically jammed on weekends – especially in the summer, with locals and visitors alike sipping espressos on outdoor patios. While historically an Italian neighbourhood, today Little Italy’s population is ethnically diverse with a larger Portuguese population than Italians. Little Italy has also become quite popular with younger crowds because of its vibrant nightlife and its proximity to the downtown core. Since the 1980s, many young professionals have been buying homes in the neighbourhood.
