Great place, forza Italia 🤤🇮🇹
You can really taste the quality of the ingredients they use. The focaccias are insanely good, & the people make it even better! Such a lovely, friendly service ♥?
Great spot if you like authentic Italian. The Panzerotti are amazing as well as the focaccia. Atmosphere is welcoming & friendly. Authentic Italian, including the staff.
La Panzeria delivers a truly authentic Italian experience. The food was excellent-simple, well-executed, & full of flavor.
The focaccia was outstanding, easily one of the highlights of the meal. & a special mention for the Bari Ice Tea-a cocktail I had never tried before & an absolute must-try.
Great food, great vibes, & a spot I'd happily return to. Highly recommended.
Tout était parfait. Rien à redire. Un vrai régal. Le personnel nous a très bien accueilli & est fort sympathique. Je recommande les focaccias & le Tiramisu

Sono un ragazzo italiano, era da più di 2 settimane che sono venuto in vacanza tra Ottawa e montreal e mi mancava davvero tanto il cibo italiano e finalmente l'ho trovato, cibo buonissimo, servizio perfetto, molto gentili come se fossi in Italia. Focaccia fuori di testa e pasta da urlo, anche i dolci molto buoni!
Kind of overhyped. The focaccia is fine but would have been better if it was heated up. It was kind of doughy. The toppings were good though.
The service was incredibly slow. I wouldn't mind waiting if they had said it would take x amount of time or at least let me know the food would be out soon. Instead they just avoided me completely & pretended I didn't exist. I felt unwelcome & like I was bothering the employees simply by being there.
Overall just kind of underwhelming & incredibly overpriced.

Had an awesome lunch here & will be back. We tried the focaccia barese (diavola) & their panzerotti classico, both were fresh, flavourful & the quality of ingredients was unmistakable. We finished our meal with the tartufo pistachio which was the star of an already fabulous meal. Wow. Definitely recommend!
Super cute place, great for a nice quick lunch. Very small but cozy, will be going back! The focaccia is amazing, friendly staff. We shared a salad, focaccia, sandwich, had coffee & dessert & was around 95$ before the tip. For the freshness of the ingredients not a bad price.
Definitely worth the hype. Also had this place recommended to me by an Italian person so it is authentic. Pasta was a bit unevenly cooked, but both focaccias were 10/10 (I do have a preference for the fig one)
Hands down the best focaccia we've ever tasted-perfectly crisp, fluffy, & full of flavour. The space is small but super cute & cozy, with a great vibe. The drinks were also great. Highly recommend if you're in Montreal & craving something delicious & authentic!
Nice cozy place to have lunch with a special person!
We ordered focaccia & pasta. Both were really good !
I recommend to go there but be careful sometimes you need to wait more than 30min to have a spot!
Eravamo andate al parco di Mont Royal e volevamo mangiare qualcosa di italiano. Posto trovato su internet ed è stata una bellissima scoperta....bell'ambiente, la focaccia e il panzerotto ottimi, anche il panino con il capocollo buonissimo, servizio veloce e gentile. Proprietario simpatico...ci siamo fermate anche a fare due chiacchiere. Posto stra consigliato da provare!! Complimenti!
