Little Italy is a neighbourhood in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It is located on Corydon Avenue between Stafford Street on the west, and Pembina Highway on the east. The district has many boutiques and restaurants.
There are a variety of Italian businesses in the Little Italy/Corydon Village neighbourhood, including small cafes, Mediterranean restaurants, ice cream/gelato parlours, beauty salons, offices. Also there are a variety of small and medium-sized apartments and condominium buildings both on Corydon Ave. and nearby streets.
During the summer months on weekend evenings some north-south streets are closed off to make way for live entertainment.
In the early 2010s, the City met with residents and stakeholders to plan the neighbourhood for future years. The Corydon-Osborne Area Plan was released in 2014 with community consultation going on during the decade. It was adopted by Council in 2017.[1]
The term "Little Italy" is becoming less common due to the closure of some Italian restaurants, and an influx of new non-Italian restaurants and shops. Today, residents of Winnipeg mainly refer to the area as the "Corydon Village."
