Tracking Toronto's newest, independent, registered restaurants
New restaurants in Corso Italia, Toronto: 6 licensed in the past year (1 in the last 30 days), tracked daily from the City of Toronto business-licence registry (chains excluded). The most recent is EL RINCON DEL PASTORCITO, first seen 30 days ago.
Toronto's second Italian commercial district, anchored along St. Clair Avenue West roughly from Lansdowne to Caledonia. Settled later than College Street's Little Italy; carries a stronger southern-Italian and Portuguese-Italian mix.
"First seen" reflects when each restaurant first surfaced in our combined evidence — City permit, public-health inspection, social media — usually within a few weeks of opening, but a permit can lead actual opening by months. How we verify ›
