Just had an amazing meal at La Panzeria, & honestly, it deserves all the hype! The focaccia barese was hands down the best I've ever had-fresh out of the oven, incredibly soft yet satisfyingly chewy. Topped with premium prosciutto, figs, pistachios, & cheese, every bite was so fresh & flavorful. Absolutely recommend it! The orecchiette was another pleasant surprise. You can tell it's handmade from the perfect texture & chewiness, & the red sauce was seasoned just right. No wonder this place is always so popular-it totally lives up to its reputation. Such a delightful experience, can't wait to go back! ✨
This was a lovely restaurant with such a great atmosphere, great service, & outstanding food. Noted that menu is limited & doesn't have a big variety of main dishes, but every single item is absolutely delicious
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre visite à La Panzeria! Nous avons commandé le Foccaccia Barese à la mortedelle, burrata, pistache ainsi que les orecchiette à la bolognaise. Les deux plats étaient délicieux :) le serveur était également très attentionné avec nous. J'y retournerai une prochaine fois pour essayer les autres plats!
Food is delicious. The focaccia with prosciutto & figs is delicious, perfect balance of sweetness & saltiness. The portions are quite big so I would say the focaccia dish can serve two people. I would recommend to make reservations since there are not that many seatings.

First, I'd like to say that I read complaints about the price before coming to La Panzeria. Although it is on the pricey side. I would have to say it was one of my favourite pizzas / focaccia in the city. The flavours are on point, the dough is incredible & the service is very fast. This is a nice spot to come grab a quick bite & a drink. The staff is extremely friendly & helpful. The pasta was okay, we ordered late so maybe it wasn't up to the restaurants standards but nothing to keep us from coming back or giving it a 5 star. The pizza was that great, the service was excellent & the espresso at the end was perfect! Focaccia capocolle with buratta, figs & spicy honey! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Espresso ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We will definitely come back to try some other items from the menu.
Small but cozy place & the food was great! The panzerotti (not pictured) was my favorite. The flavor of everything we ordered was well balanced. Our waiter was super nice as well. Will definitely come back!

Une véritable pépite italienne en plein coeur de Montréal ! La déco est chaleureuse & conviviale, on se sent directement à l'aise. Le service est impeccable, avec une équipe super sympathique. Les plats sont d'une qualité exceptionnelle, surtout la focaccia & les pâtes fraîches. Si vous cherchez un resto italien authentique à Montréal, je recommande vivement Panzeria. Une expérience à ne pas manquer !

Had a date lunch with my 9yrs old happen here. (You think tinder dates are hard?) We watched football, ate the best focaccia & daily pasta, polished it off with a bomboloni & espresso. Might ask the kid out on a second date. It was a good time. He might just say yes.
Great neighborhood gem for authentic Italian. Everyone we bring here is always so pleased with the food & the service! We're so lucky they're our front neighbours!
Truly a wonderful dining experience, with the best panzerotti I've ever eaten! Such spectacular warm & welcoming service, with an authentically Italian spirit! The BRAN CAIA was a beautiful full bodied red & the perfect complement to our meal. I'm definitely coming back with my wife to try the rest of the menu. Loved it!
