Little Italy on College, Corso Italia on St Clair West, Woodbridge for the second generation — and now a return downtown for the third. The 43 Italian kitchens licensed by the City of Toronto in the past 12 months sit across all four chapters at once: red-sauce trattorias, Neapolitan pizzerias, Roman-style by-the-slice, fresh-pasta counters, gelato. 7 of them in just the past 30 days.
