At BOSSA, we make sandwiches the right way: bold, generous, and full of heart.
What started as a simple neighborhood sandwich shop has grown into a small, family-run restaurant chain built on a simple idea: authentic products, prepared with care. Every sandwich is made with our own bread, baked fresh every morning in our bakery. From our homemade proteins to our sauces and toppings, we give the same care to every ingredient we serve.
BOSSA is widely praised for huge, generously packed Italian style sandwiches made to order with high quality ingredients, with many calling it the best in Montreal and nearby areas. Standouts include porchetta, diavolo, chicken parm and a rich array of fillings, and desserts such as tiramisu, cannoli and olive oil cake are highlighted as excellent. Portions are often described as so generous they can feed two, and the overall vibe is a lively, authentic deli with Italian groceries, great coffee and a friendly team. However long waits during peak hours and limited seating are common, and some reviews note occasional bread inconsistencies or a recent bread change before returning to form. A few isolated ordering hiccups are addressed by responsive staff and even owner intervention, leaving many satisfied and willing to return. The experience is considered worth the detour and the drive, with takeout and dine-in both recommended for a reliable, delicious sandwich fix.
Hands down the best sandwiches I've ever tried. I ate the porcetta & I recommend it. The staff is very nice, the only downside is there is a lot of people so order ahead of time

What a disappointment, I tried ordering 10 sandwiches from the Dix30 location & was they never took my order. Call back later that's what i got answered & later they never answered the phone. Its a shame I spoke highly to my collegues about this place & was anxious to try it but at the end the employees were not interested in giving me service . Plenty of other place that are willing to offer good service
Walked in at 12:20 on a Sunday afternoon. It was a fullhouse with people dining-in & also many waiting in line to place their orders. FYI: I am not the most patient person & I don't usually do line-ups, but I decided to relax & give this joint a chance. I was out the door within 15 minutes of walking in, which (in my opinion) is acceptable.
Place seems clean at first glance.
Employees seem too work well together although the preparation section is chaotic (keep in kind that I visited during lunch).
Many pastas, salads, & sauces can be purchased from their refridgerated sections. Prices are... ok.
As expected, sandwiches were messy & oily but that's how you know it was done right. No shortage of toppings either as the two sandwiches I ordered were stuffed with fresh ingredients. Prices were reasonable ($17/sandwich).
Location can be difficult to find & parking can be a real PITA, although I still prefer this location than the one in Verdun (the Verdun location gives me a bad vibe).
Première fois que je suis déçue par le service. J'appelle à 18h00 pour commander 2 sandwiches & 1 arancini au fromage, la jeune fille me dit que ce sera prêt dans 30 min. J'habite à Verdun donc 2 min avant de venir récupérer ma commande, je rappelle pour dire de chauffer mon arancini, elle me dit ok. J'arrive pour récupérer ma commande & le monsieur à la caisse me dit (en plus d'un air indifférent « sorry not sorry ») qu'il vient juste de vendre à quelqu'un les arancini au fromage qu'il restait alors que j'avais passé ma commande il y a déjà 30 min avant! Il m'a proposé ceux à la viande mais j'avais déjà appelé avant & deux fois en plus donc logiquement je voulais vraiment ceux au fromage. Aucune compensation, en retour. Je suis déçue
Went in & bought a few sandwiches to go plus coffee, I asked first if the sandwiches came in boxes (bc I saw boxes behind them & thought each came in a box) & if they could separate the sandwiches as I was buying for different people but they said they couldn't give boxes, they were running low, just wrapped, so I said ok no problem. When the sandwiches were ready I asked if I could please get a bag as I have to carry them plus the coffee & then another employee with MAJOR attitude says no, we can't, we need them & can't give out, meanwhile all the Uber Eats & DoorDash picking up their orders in bags. Last I checked you make more money from walk in customers vs delivery & I could use a bag to transport the sandwiches I just bought. But the attitude was the worst, so dismissive as if I was asking for gold. I understand bags & things can run low, but there are much better ways to say it, & understand I'm trying to transport what I just purchased & not wanting to drop them.
So yes, sandwiches are good BUT not the only player in town by far, never going back, terrible first impression when buying a few sandwiches at almost $20 each.

Next time I'll try a different sandwich & there are many to choose from. I like simple sandwiches, not into creamy or saucy or mooshy...which depicts the porchetta perfectly. If that's what you like you'll love that sandwich. The caramelized onions overly dominated the other ingredients. I found the sandwich to slimy, both the kick from the peppers & the pork flavours undetectable. The bread was the best part of the sandwich... Liked the bread so much that I'm willing to try one of their other sandwiches.
Loved the chicken parm & cheese steak sandwiches. The tiramisu is very good as well. I just wasn't a huge fan of the cheese arancini but everything else was good.

Les sandwiches du Bossa sont à essayer au moins une fois dans sa vie !! C'est incroyablement délicieux ! Le lieu est un peu petit donc ce n'est pas facile de manger sur place.
Unacceptable.
I ordered a pickup of three sandwiches, arrived home & the chicken parm was raw, literally raw.
I emailed your store to not post on a Google review, but with no response I decided to leave my review.
Thanks for listening.

I would like to edit my review.
Shortly after my posting my review, who I believe is the owner, reached out to me. He apologized for the incident, explained that they were truly sorry & made sure that his team was aware of the situation. I've deceived to alter my review to a 5 star, because we go to restaurants for two reasons, one is obviously for the food, & a close runner up is for the customer service….& it is clear that Bossa delivered the latter.
Given all of this, we will definitely be returning to Bossa & giving them another try!

I've been to Bossa many times, & they never disappoint. This visit, I went with the Italiano, & it was incredible. It's absolutely stuffed with high-quality prosciutto & mortadella, fresh crispy lettuce, & their signature pickled olives which add the perfect tangy kick. Every bite is fresh & packed with flavor.
The vibe of the shop is just as good as the food. It feels like a true neighborhood gem-super cozy & charming, filled with imported Italian goods, pastas, & great coffee. It's always buzzing with energy, which makes the whole experience feel authentic. If you're looking for the best sandwiches in Montreal, this is definitely the place!
Pro tip: Grab a cannoli or a Bomboloni on your way out-you won't regret it.
They definitely have the best & the biggest sandwiches on Wellington. They are delicious & honestly big enough to feed two people. I do find that sometimes the sandwiches can be too greasy though, still delicious. The only issue is the lineup situation here. When they get busy, there is no real queuing system & you will be waiting for a while to get your food.
This Italian deli is an absolute gem. The sandwiches are huge & absolutely incredible, easily some of the best we've ever had. Every bite was packed with flavor & clearly made with top-quality ingredients.
The space itself is very tiny, but we managed to luck out & snag a countertop seat while many people were standing & waiting. Even so, the atmosphere just added to the experience.
