Little Italy is a charming residential neighborhood in the middle of Montreal full of old-school cafes, pizzerias, Italian grocery stores and traditional bakeries. Its roots can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when waves of Italian immigrants arrived in Montreal and settled in the area.
Bustling, long-running Italian grocery stocking cheese, meat & bread, plus prepared food. A true historical institution of the metropolis, Fruiterie Milano has been serving Montrealers and attracting tourists for over 60 years.
The former church of Saint-Jean-de-la-Croix, Montréal, built 1910-1927, was partially demolished in 2003 and replaced by an apartment building with similar volume, by architect Alphonse Gratton.
