Little Italy stands out
For ITALFESTMTL 2021, we wanted to tell you a little more about Little Italy, our neighborhood of choice… and not just because our offices are located there!
Located north of Mile End, Piccola Italia owes its name to the massive influx of Italian immigrants to this corner of Montreal in the early 20th century. An essential center for art deco and gourmet delights (much to the delight of its residents), this area is well worth a visit!
Our architectural favourites? The magnificent Chiesa della Madonna Della Defesa (Church of Our Lady of Defense), by Florentine artist Guido Nincheri. Not forgetting, of course, Casa d’ Italia (505, rue Jean-Talon Est), a community and cultural center built in 1936 by architect Patsy Colangelo. One of Montreal’s last Art Deco relics.
Montreal’s gourmet district
Little Italy is home to numerous cafés, restaurants, bakeries and grocery stores. At Langevin Immobilier, we’re big fans of Milano, Bottega pizzas, Caffè Italia, gelato from Pile Ou Glace Gelateria and, of course, the Jean Talon market.
One of the largest open-air markets in North America, the Jean-Talon market is the place to go for fresh, local produce. It has no fewer than 2.5 million visits every year. Let yourself be seduced by local products. Meet our producers and farmers and enjoy a taste of gastronomic delights. After all, you’re in the heart of Montreal’s gourmet district.
