Reviews of Épicerie Alimentari Sud show a mixed picture: some customers praise delicious paninis, burrata when included, excellent bread, and a wide array of Italian cookies and chips, while others report frequent stockouts of pizza sauce in this small Italian specialty shop and occasional service lapses, including forgetting items in orders and discrepancies between online hours and actual closing times. The space is described as a bit off the beaten path and charming, with great sandwich options like the Bomba and a prosciutto sandwich and friendly staff, though prices can feel slightly high. Some readers question being an epicerie in name given the emphasis on prepared foods, and say they would not return for Italian products if stock and accuracy do not improve. Overall, Épicerie Alimentari Sud comes across as a place with potential, delivering flavorful hits when items are available, and a mix of misses that affects consistency.
Food is great. Wait times for take-out way too long. They need to figure that out because waiting 20 mins for a take out sandwich is enough for me to not come back.
They offer a great selection of panini sandwiches & specialty items you'd like to prepare a delicious Italian meal, including sauces, cheese, & pasta. Don't forget their vast selection of Italian cookies & potato chips. 😋
De loins la meilleure sandwich au prosciutto que j'ai mangé sur la rive-sud voir même Montréal. Le pain était excellent Les employés étaient tous très gentils & les canollis délicieux.
I originally gave them 5 stars, the sandwiches are excellent, but for the second time now the chef has forgotten the burrata in my order… this is half the reason we come here. So go, but double check your order before you leave because you don't want a bad surprise once you're back at the office!
I had the Bomba sandwich, it's absolutely delicious. The owner is very nice, great spot, definitely recommend & I will be back soon.

I got the Margherita salad with Italian sausage, the salad itself was good & the sausage tasted good but the texture of the sausage was dry & really hard to chew like they microwaved the sausages. My partners sandwich was yummy but they forgot about it so it took a really long time. Doesn't seem well organized but the sandwich was really good. I wouldn't recommend the Italian sausage.
"Nous cherchions un endroit pour déguster un bon sandwich, & nous avons trouvé la perle rare ! Cet établissement propose également des produits de fine cuisine italienne. Jack, ou plutôt Giacomo, nous a accueillis avec chaleur, mettant en avant ses origines italiennes. C'était tout simplement parfait !"

So happy to have found a spot on the south shore doing Italian style panini sandwiches right. Had the prosciutto/fig/brie & it was excellent. Cool cat named Jack served me.
How unfortunate that the "panini" are made with very thin flat bread that does not hold the ingredients while eating Chicken sandwich contained about 6 pieces of tasty chicken. The salad was OK because of the mayonnaise since the taste of either tomato or basil pesto was not there. On a brighter note, there is a big variety of Italian food goods for purchase
