Review Summary

Dispensa Épicerie Italienne receives praise for its sandwiches made with crusty, high quality bread and fresh ingredients, with standout options like chicken and meatball subs, eggplant panini, calzones, and lasagna, along with a strong selection of Italian pastries and excellent coffee; desserts such as cannoli with dense ricotta and a crisp shell are frequently mentioned, as is the overall quality of the offerings and the authentic Italian flavors. The atmosphere is described as welcoming, clean, and nostalgic, with staff noted as friendly and helpful; while lunchtime lines are common, they are said to move quickly and often justify the wait for a well-made sandwich. Opinions on portions and value vary, with some reviewers noting generous portions and fair prices, and others feeling portions are smaller for the price relative to similar Italian grocers. Overall the spot is regarded as a hidden gem and a reliable place for fresh, flavorful bites, drawing frequent mentions of its coffee, paninis, and pastries and recommendations to locals and visitors alike.

Avis 5 étoiles pour Dispensa - Un bijou italien en plein coeur du Vieux-Montréal

Si j'étais Italien, Dispensa serait une fierté nationale à lui seul. Mais comme je suis Montréalais, c'est un privilège d'avoir un tel commerce chez nous. Ce n'est pas juste une épicerie fine ou un comptoir gourmand, c'est une expérience culinaire qui nous transporte directement en Italie dès qu'on passe la porte. Avec des ragazzos souriants, aux yeux qui brillent. Avec des biscuits au chocolat fondants, aussi gros comme ma face.

L'accueil est chaleureux, authentique, humain. L'équipe est dirigée par de véritables passionnés qui savent ce qu'ils font & qui le font avec amour. La propreté irréprochable, la fraîcheur des ingrédients & surtout cette odeur en entrant… un pur bonheur qui évoque instantanément la dolce vita italienne.

& parlons des sandwichs : voyons donc!!! Jamais je n'ai mangé un sandwichs aussi bon, aussi bien fait, avec des produits d'une telle qualité. Les tranches de porc toutes minces étaient encore chaudes, & elles me fondaient dans la bouche. Le pain aussi!C'est simple à ma première bouchée, j'ai su que cet endroit deviendrait ma place. Je suis un fidèle depuis ce matin. Merci les boys! Vous contribuez au bonheur des Montréalais, & ça, ça n'a pas de prix. Grazie mille!

The porchetta sandwich was amazingly tasty, warm & crispy. It surprisingly costed only 11 dollars! They also sell good Afeltra dried pasta, Bianco DiNapoli canned tomato. I will come back to try more things!

I normally don't like sandwiches, but some friends recommended it to me so I ordered Pancetta with spicy mayo sandwich, it was very good! Hot (temperature) & crispy, juicy & fragrant. Coffee is very good, staff are great, price is very reasonable, highly recommend!
