Appartements, Condos et Maisons à louer à Little Italy Toronto

Gelato, meatballs and lasagne? Ciao, Little Italy: possibly the Toronto neighbourhood most famous for its great food. Extending from Harbord in the north to Dundas in the south and somewhere around Ossington to its west, lovers of Italian grub have their pick of the litter here, with some truly mouth-watering options, from cheap sandwich joints to white tablecloth fine dining. A summertime staple, Little Italy has a ton of patios, making it a great spot for killing Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Of course, there's more to Little Italy than the pizza and pasta. Steps from Kensington Market and the University of Toronto, Little Italy is home to some of Toronto’s most bustling nightlife.

Little Italy Rental Market: Little Italy houses for rent consist of many semi-detached turn-of-the-century homes, and quite a few low-rise apartments in the area as well. Little Italy is lower in density than other neighbourhoods, and while you may find a shiny new condo for rent, they are few and far between. Little Italy is known for great basement apartments for rent in single-family homes if you are on the hunt for a cheap apartment for rent in Toronto.

Put simply, food. Hey, this is Little Italy, and for Italians and the Italian-food-loving people who live here, it's all about great eats. Oh, and awesome nightlife and the two annual street festivals that happen here. There are a couple of art galleries and a second-run cinema in town, but hanging out on a patio with a huge meal to fatten you up, just like Nonna would want, and polishing off a beer while watching a soccer match are top pastimes in this fun-loving area.

For coffee, it's Cafe Diplomatico (partly due to its beyond-awesome patio). For cheap sandwiches, Hey Meatball or the Fish Store. For a fancy dinner, Enoteca Sociale. For gelato, Bang Bang. For pizza, Bitondo. For after dark, El Convento Rico or College Street Bar. Weirdest name goes to No One Writes To The Colonel. Little Italy's bars and restaurants are mainly along College Street with a couple on Dundas, although the latter is a bit more Portuguese. The neighbourhood is also home to the Italian Walk of Fame, located on College between Grace and Clinton. For families with kids, there are three public elementary schools within Little Italy and two high schools, and a couple of Catholic schools.
