Wow wow wow! J'ai tellement adoré mon dinner à cette petit le place. Vraiment friendly & on se sent comme à la maison. La pizza prosciutto était excellente & délicieuse. Le service est impeccable !!
Gros coup de coeur pour Cantine Panella ! En tant que coeliaque, c'est tellement agréable de pouvoir profiter d'un menu aussi bon & varié.
J'ai essayé le grilled cheese au poulet, le pain de la semaine, la focaccia aux tomates séchées (honnêtement la meilleure focaccia que j'ai mangée !), le muffin aux carottes & épices & le brownie : tout était incroyable.
Ma famille a goûté aux pizzas & ils n'avaient que de bons mots à dire. L'ambiance est chaleureuse & familiale, on se sent vraiment bien accueilli.
Dommage que je ne vive pas à Montréal, mais je reviendrai assurément lors de ma prochaine visite!
Must go. I was expecting just a small bakery, but there was so much more to choose from. Margherita pizza was simple but delicious & the apple turnover was fantastic.
?I've now visited this restaurant twice specifically for their gluten-free options, & the food itself has been very good. They offer an excellent experience for anyone with celiac disease.
?However, a few small improvements could really elevate the overall dining experience:
1. ?Cutlery Placement: For the outside tables, the pre-placed cutlery (forks, spoons) is prone to collecting dust & debris from the environment. I recommend providing clean cutlery with the order itself, as this would be much more hygienic.
?Outdoor Table Cleanliness: The outdoor tables themselves often feel dusty. I had to request extra napkins to clean the table before eating. More frequent wiping of these surfaces would be appreciated.
2. ?Pizza Dough: I tried the Margarita pizza, & while the flavor was decent, the crust was too hard & thin for the price point, making it difficult to chew at times. A slightly softer, thicker base would significantly improve this dish.
3. ?Handwashing: It would be helpful to have a clear place or facility for guests to wash their hands before eating. I didn't asked for the same as I thought they didn't have one, so I won't take points off for that.
Overall a great experience for Celiacs or someone with allergies. Very friendly staff.
Wow wow wow & re-wow ! Beaucoup d'options sans lactose. Les Focaccias, incroyables. À la fois aérées, humides, extérieur croustillant, avec un filet d'huile d'olive. La brioche à la cannelle (SG & SL), la meilleure que j'ai mangée. La pizza Panella avec le fauxmage de cashew.... j'ai peine à croire que je me suis privée de pizza si longtemps. Un délice ! Je recommande x1000.
La pizza est délicieuse, option de pain sans gluten & vegan wow! Mais que dire du service, ils étaient tous tellement sympathiques, j'y retourne c'est sûr !
Meilleure pizza sans gluten que j'ai mangé depuis que j'ai été diagnostiquée celiac. La fille à la caisse sait ce qu'est la maladie coeliaque & prend le temps d'expliquer le menu ce qui est très gentil & rassurant. C'était la première fois que j'y allais, mais certainement pas la dernière!
Nous sommes venus à ce restaurant le samedi 9 août. Accueille chaleureuse. Large choix de produits dont des desserts & du pain. Nous avons pris un sandwich à la viande goûtu & très bon. La quiche était délicieuse, la pâte était vraiment bonne. Quant à la pizza, pour une sans gluten, elle se tenait bien. Je recommande.
