See All Lists
1. Olivia's At Fifty-Three - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M6G 2Y4
(416) 533-3989
Category:
Italian
Neighbourhoods: Palmerston, Bickford Park
Just off the main College Street drag, Olivia's escapes the attention of many Little Italy scenesters. We're talking about something a little more special than the typical slick but soulless Bar Italia/Riva/College Street Bar experience. I've led a…More »
2. Pink Twig
Toronto, ON M6G 1C2
(416) 537-7465
Category:
Florists
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
A vibrant and stylish Pink Twig flower arrangement was delivered to me at work on my birthday this year. I felt so special and loved! So what if the flowers were from my mom? They still made me happy!
Pink Twig's floral designs are bold and modern.…More »
3. Lily of the Valley
Toronto, ON M6G 1A4
(416) 913-3854
Category:
Beauty and Spas
Neighbourhood: Palmerston
I'm shocked and delighted to be Lily of the Valley's first review!
I love this place: the location by the gates to Palmerston Boulevard, the Asian-themed decor, the blackboard outside with its frequently updated titillating slogans... even their…More »
4. Souz Dal
Toronto, ON M6G 1B4
(416) 537-1883
Category:
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
I have escorted half a dozen first dates to Souz Dal. It's all very 'Kissing Jessica Stein', I know. Maybe I'm trying to capture this bar's essence of mystery and sexiness to apply it to myself? The illusion has served me well, at least until my…More »
5. Eat My Martini
Toronto, ON M6G 1B8
(416) 516-2549
Category:
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
Twenty bucks spent at Eat My Martini gets me very giggly and tipsy. Cocktails are $5 a pop with a diverse choice of almost 100 mixes. I love it! If you're able to get a table, it's loads of fun to meet friends here and to select and sample each…More »
6. The Big Chill
Toronto, ON M6G 2V6
(416) 960-2455
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston, Bickford Park
Situation: want ice cream from The Big Chill after lunch
Dilemma: lunch break ends at 2pm, The Big Chill opens at 2pm
Solution: convince manager that she wants ice cream, too
You can't miss The Big Chill. Just look for the green and pink acid trip mural…More »
7. Utopia Café & Grill
Toronto, ON M6G 1B3
(416) 534-7751
Categories:
Tex-Mex,
Burgers,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston, Bickford Park
The tables and chairs are uncomfortably close together. The din of the open kitchen, the music and the crowd is overwhelming. You'll probably take a few elbows to the face from your server or the other customers. If you are seated (lucky you) you…More »
8. Bitondo's Pizzeria
Toronto, ON M6J 2N7
(416) 533-4101
I can see Bitondo's from my window as I type this. I'd say half the traffic on my street is due to Bitondo's. This is the spot for a good ol' greasy slice of pizza or a meatball sub. The shop furnishings have gone unchanged for 30 years: there's a…More »
9. Riviera Bakery
Toronto, ON M6G 1B3
(416) 537-9352
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston, Bickford Park
Whenever I go into Riviera Bakery, the women behind the counter glare at me as though my custom were the world's biggest irritation.
On days when I can screw up my courage to face the ladies' wrath, I treat myself to a fresh and delicious roast…More »
10. Chic Nails Spa
Toronto, ON M6G 1C2
(416) 533-0652
Category:
Nail Salons
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
I'm certainly not the type of lady who has a standing weekly appointment for a mani-pedi. However, in the summer months, I do like to keep my feet looking presentable. Also, it's nice to treat oneself to a manicure occasionally before a special event…More »
11. Mr Soles Shoe Repair
Toronto, ON M6G 1C5
(416) 534-5744
Category:
Shoe Repair
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
The Mr Soles gents are very friendly and they will do excellent work to spruce up your favourite shoes and boots. I've had soles replaced, zippers fixed, seams stitched, heels refurbished, straps repaired, buttons reattached and leather stretched.…More »
12. Poison Ivy Hair by Design
Toronto, ON M6J 2L1
(416) 588-3366
Categories:
Hair Salons,
Eyelash Service,
Hair Removal
Neighbourhood: Little Italy
I have a problem. I have very a short hair style that requires frequent cutting but I don't have much disposable income. The shape of my face does not adjust according to my financial situation: I maintain my pixie cut even when long hippie hair…More »
13. Urban Thai
I guess some folks have had bad experiences with the dine-in service. I only get take-out, so I don't have any comments on that. The take-out is always ready when they say it will be, and there are various discounts and offers, depending on the order…More »
14. Eclipse Fitness Club - CLOSED
I joined Eclipse about a year and a half ago when it was time to accept that I now live too far from Trainers Fitness, my previous gym. Eclipse is a much more pleasant, cleaner and brighter environment than Trainers, although I think Trainers has the…More »
15. Sushi D
Toronto, ON M6G 1B9
(416) 536-8328
Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
Spicy seafood soup, eel pancake, black sesame ice cream... Sushi D's menu is a little more adventurous than the other College Street sushi joints. Don't fret! The usual array of California rolls and tempura appetizers is available, too.
I used to be a…More »
16. Southside Louie's
Toronto, ON M6G 1B2
(416) 532-1250
Categories:
Canadian (Traditional),
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston, Bickford Park
For all the bars and restaurants along this stretch of College Street, there aren't many places where you can settle in for drinks with friends for a few hours. Until Cornerstone opened in June, South Side Louie's was the only pub around. For this…More »
17. Balisi
Toronto, ON M6G 1B8
(416) 532-1074
Category:
Shoe Stores
Neighbourhood: Bickford Park
A friend of mine accidentally bought a $300 pair of Fly London boots here one night after a few too many drinks. This is the kind of thing that can happen when you combine College Street cocktails, late opening hours and cute, stylish inventory.
I'm…More »
18. I Feel Like Crepe - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M6G 1B5
(416) 832-5679
Category:
Creperies
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
I Feel Like Crepe is an unpredictable experience. I've had warm, fresh Nutella and strawberry crepes that could not have been more delicious - I wanted to lick my plate clean. I've also been served cold, gluggy, flavourless ham and cheese crepes that…More »
19. Little Italy Dental Practice
Toronto, ON M6G 1A6
(416) 923-5881
Category:
General Dentistry
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston
My main complaint about this clinic was the long wait to get an appointment. But today, I got a call offering me an earlier day to the one I already have booked. So for that, I'll give then an extra star.

20. Coin Laundromat
Toronto, ON M6G
Category:
Dry Cleaning & Laundry
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston
"Geez, this Andrea W. must be pretty down and out to be reviewing a coin laundry."
Well, yeah, kinda.
For three years, I lived in a nearby second floor apartment where I was forbidden to use the homeowner's main floor washer and dryer. So stingy...…More »
21. Metro
Toronto, ON M6G 1C5
(416) 533-2515
Category:
Grocery
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
Dominion has been rechristened as Metro. Don't worry, though: the eccentric singing shelf stocker an the unpleasant check-out staff are still there.
After many weeks of chaos and construction, the layout of the store has been altered slightly. It's…More »

Do I really have to be the one who first reviews Dominion College Street? Seriously? Okay. Fine.… Read more »
