7 d. ago Toronto Italian restaurant shuts down after two decades in business

An Italian restaurant in Toronto that was a cornerstone of its neighbourhood has officially closed down after two decades in business.It should come as no surprise that, in Toronto's Little Italy neighbourhood, there's no shortage of Italian restaurants and businesses. That said, there are fewer today than there once were, when the neighbourhood was a magnet for waves of Italian newcomers eager to make their mark on Toronto.Just look at this year's Taste of Little Italy — if scores of attendees are to be believed, there was nary a cannoli or tortellini in sight.Even though the neighbourhood's concentration of Italian businesses has been on the downturn, a handful of long-standing businesses have managed to stick around while groovy fusion spots and farm-to-table concepts fill in the gaps between them. We're talking about places like Sotto Voce, San Francesco Foods, and Riviera Bakery, the kind of places you wouldn't be afraid to drag your Nonna to.Thoug...
