Italian food skillet peppers tomato onions carrotsOver 60 years ago, Erie Street and the St. Angela Merici Church was a haven for Windsor's Italian immigrants.  An assortment of Italian family-run restaurants and shops sprang up around the church, and Erie Street became the center for Windsor's Italian culture. 

Nowadays, this one-mile strip of Erie Street is known as Via Italia and it attracts visitors from across Canada, the U.S., and around the world.  Via Italia draws on its Italian roots and provides over 100 small, family-run businesses with an Italian flair.  You will find Italian-style clothing boutiques, shoe stores, kitchenware shops, linen stores, grocery stores, and more.  Additionally, you can partake in some of the best Italian food Windsor has to offer, from intimate espresso and cappuccino shops to exquisite Ristorantes.  Come enjoy Windsor's Little Italy; a trip to Italy has never been this close.

Mark, As one of Italian heritage, this is very intriguing. A place I'd love to visit. It's a bit too cold up there for my bones but sounds like a wonderful burb with lots to offer. Good post
