CORSO ITALIA FESTIVAL 2013 PART 2

I was a little disappointed I had to go to a sit down restaurant to eat. I thought there would be more street vendors and maybe have a porchetta sandwich or two.

There was a set menu for the festival. I had the Margherita pizza while Barb had Chicken parmigiano with rice and fries. It was the Rio restaurant with authentic Brazilian food cuisine but not during the festival.

CORSO ITALIA STREET FESTIVAL 2013

St. Clair Ave West in Toronto was the hub for Italian immigrants in the 1950s and 1960s. Shopping, food and coffee bars were the norm. We lived in Willowdale but people would venture to St. Clair for wedding outfits and Italian goods. Last Saturday July 5 there was the 15th annual Corso Italia street festival. Ten blocks are closed off to allow people to enjoy. Barb convinced me to go.
