Little Italy and Corso Italia

Little Italy is the original. A neighbourhood that became the heart and soul of the Italian community in the years following World War II. Today, its heritage lives on in such landmarks as Café Diplomatico, where an espresso on the patio is the perfect accompaniment to people-watching. When darkness falls, the College strip heats up with some of the city’s hottest nightlife.

Corso Italia is like the sophisticated sibling who moved uptown. But the neighbourhood isn’t afraid to let its hair down. During the 2003 Corso Italia Fiesta the community came together to set a new Guinness World Record for the longest spaghetti noodle ever made. It stretched 160 metres.
