Café Diplomatico
594 College St.
(647) 258-9427
National intel: For the real Italian action, head to Woodbridge. Or more specifically, Wegz Stadium Bar, where the massive Italian community north of College Street will congregate. (Also see 'Neutral Ground,' below.) Downtown, there'll be a strong Italian contingent: Wear your team colours and talk about how the Azzurri tend to confound World Cup expectations. Don't talk about them getting thrashed by the Koreans in 1996 and 2002, or the match-rigging scandals in 1982 and 2006. Do talk about how the team is made up of veterans, and how they have a strong 'system of play.'
The pitch: Around the Dip, the entire area will be draped in red, white and green flags, and owner Rocco Mastrangelo promises everyone will have a great view. He's carting out eight TVs onto the patio, and, for the closing party on July 11, closing down the street. Italians will feel at home here, but really, The Dip, as locals call it, will be a meeting ground for soccer fans of all stripes. 'We are where nations unite to watch the game,' says Signor Mastrangelo.

The grub: Very delicious, gooey pizza; pasta standbys.
