The uproariously fun Taste of Little Italy festival on College Street, Toronto. Party time!!

            Toronto has two Little Italys; this one on College Street and the other up on St Clair Avenue West which is known as Corso Italia.
With half a million people of Italian descent in Toronto, it is said to be the fourth largest population of people of Italian descent after Buenos Aires, São Paulo and New York City, respectively. Italian immigration to Toronto began in the mid 1800s, but there was a boom after World War II. Some of the original 1950s restaurants remain, such as Café Diplomatico, San Francesco Italian sandwiches, Bitondo's Pizza, California Italian sandwiches, Sicilian Sidewalk cafe and some of the first Italian bakeries.

College Street today is full of restaurants and bars and is a very popular neighbourhood for young people. A difference between this and the Little Italy in New York is this is primarily a residential neighbourhood and not so much a tourist destination.

I'd say Little Italy on College Street is a very trendy and desirable neighbourhood. While very youthful today, it is surrounded by the older Italian and Portuguese residential neighbourhoods, who's large old fashioned single family dwellings are much sought after today.

Today's mix of residents reflects the multicultural mix of Toronto itself, with people from all over the world!
