'Little Italy', somtimes referred to as College Street West, is well known for its Italian restaurants and some of the best food in the city! Residents include many older Italian-Canadians but it is also home to young professionals who love this trendy, very vibrant inner city neighbourhood. The Royal, a 1939 movie  theatre featuring 'Hot Docs', independent and 2nd run films is on College Street. The 'hood' is just north of Trinity-Bellwoods with its Queen St. West art galleries, shops and the Trinity Bellwood's Community Centre w indoor pool etc. Little Italy is steps to the TTC and close to the city core and the financial district, all the downtown hospitals, shopping centres and the island airport.
