Little Italy
Little Italy Toronto: Where Charm and Culture Touch Every Street
The vibe
A stroll down College Street, the heartbeat of Little Italy, is like stepping into a European village. Cobblestone sidewalks pave the way, lined with a symphony of shops, cafes, and charming bistros. As you meander along, the aroma of freshly brewed espresso mingles with the scent of delectable pastries, drawing you into cozy cafes where locals linger over conversations and travellers find a place to relax.
Adjacent to Little Italy lies the bohemian wonderland of Kensington Market. A short stroll from College Street opens up a world of vintage boutiques, artisanal bakeries, and quirky shops. The collision of cultures between Little Italy and Kensington Market creates an intersection of creativity and authenticity that is uniquely Toronto.
With a primarily younger crowd hanging out on College St, its residents are slightly older. Homes in this neighbourhood are breathtakingly beautiful which does come at a price.

It's a neighbourhood that embraces tradition while embracing the vibrancy of urban living. It has gentrified greatly over the years with tons of new trendy restaurants and bars to explore.
Neighbourhood gems
Some of my favourite places in Little Italy include Bar Raval, Restaurant Pompette, The Commoner, Mrs. Robinsons & last but not least, Bar Isabel. All of these incredible restaurants & bars will make your taste buds come to life and the environment will definitely have you going back more than once.
