There aren’t many options for condo buyers in Little Italy, an area known more for Victorian homes on tree-lined streets. A European atmosphere of cappuccino houses, trattorias, pool halls, and lounges lined with Italian lampposts attract urban professionals and hipsters. Residents enjoy the city’s best Italian cuisine, followed by Latin Dancing or a cocktail in one of the bars along the strip. Just north of Little Italy is The Annex, another barren condo neighbourhood.

This lively neighborhood is the original home of Toronto’s Italian community. This chic district is packed with trattorias, trendy restaurants and cafes, and a booming nightlife. Little Italy’s sidewalks are always packed with locals and visitors sipping espressos out on the many outdoor patios along the street.

Today Little Italy, established in 1985, is also the home of South American, Portuguese and Asian newcomers adding a diverse multicultural mosaic to this already eclectic neighborhood, which runs along College Street from Bathurst Street west to Shaw Street, close to the downtown core. Perhaps taking a cue from ancient times, Little Italy’s vibrancy and allure is all about the age-old tradition of meeting good friends and sharing a delicious meal together.

Named in tribute to the hundreds of thousands of people of Italian descent who made the Little Italy area their home at the start of the early 1950’s, Little Italy is noted to be one of the trendiest and friendliest neighborhoods in North America. College Street is a trendy strip with an authentic European atmosphere, known for its cafes, lounges and unique shopping, Clearly eclectic, always warm and inviting.
