The bread is far from the authentic Schiacciata bread & not scacciata .
Very disappointed, I wish someone would truly serve the authentic.But this is not the only restaurant impersonating Italian Traditions. At the end it only gives a bad name to the World Greatest Cuisine. Too bad!!View more
Delicious authentic Italian sandwiches! You can tell the owner cares about quality & fresh ingredients. Sandwiches are made with focaccia bread which makes these sandwhices a pleasure to eat. We ordered La Toscana (10/10) & these new'italian sushi' rolls made of ham, cheese & artichoke with a mushroom sauce which were so delicuous & refreshing. We also got bruschetta on the housea Will definitely come back & try their other sandwiches & pizza!View more
Kinda sad & truly disappointed.
So I went the first time excited to have a sandwich. I ordered the porchetta sandwich aka La Romana but it was unfortunately quite disappointing. The bread , although tasty & crusty, was cut so poorly & unevenly that the top layer of the bread was so thin I couldn't even hold the sandwich.
The sandwich itself lacked flavour & the ingredients were so Skimpy, it just looked sad, as if this sandwich did not want to be made.
The arugula was wilted & yellow tasted quite bad. the grilled veggies were non existent . There was barely enough in there to even consider it as an item in the description. Don't cheap out on ingredients.
The porchetta itself tasted bland
However, even after all this
I said to myself, maybe they had an off day ? so I decided to give it another chance. I went back a few days later & this time I got, la Toscana.
The exact same thing happened. The bread was cut so unevenly that you're rendered this thin slice of bread on which is is so hard to eat ! It just all fell apart on me so I ate it all deconstructed such a bummer!.
As I was sifting through the sandwich I realized there was no artichoke cream or marinated eggplant so I looked on the menu & realized that the gentlemen at the front probably should've asked me if I wanted either of those things since it says artichoke cream OR marinated eggplants . But he didn't, so I guess I got none. That addition would have added so much more flavour.
So basically it was just cheese meat Lettuce & the kicker , two half slices of tomato ! only on one side! So total 1 slice of tomato all day. That just boggles my mind. Who does such a thing ?
I understand food cost as I own 2 fine dining restaurants . I know the cost of things like tomatoes, among other things. There's absolutely no excuse. Also, tomatoes were sliced razor thin , which is good but when you combine that with a tiny amount of slices it just seems cheap.
But this is Montreal, young entrepreneurs thinking they can do it better than the next guy .'Bro cannolis? & pizza bro ? Sandwiches you say? I do dem better den anybody bro' so they open restaurants. They focus so much on hype & decor & when it comes to the food, it unfortunately often takes a backseat, why?
Don't people just want to wow others with a good food ? Especially at these exorbitant prices ??
In the end though, this just bites you guys in the ass because you guys seemed really promising to me , this shows me a lack of care or concern . Even the gentleman manning the front seemed quite Disenchanted with the whole operation; Almost like he doesn't wanna be there. Sorry but I will never go back . I gave you guys a chance . Too bad cause I wanted to taste Your pizza al taglio ,seemed nice but when I saw them they look equally sad, as if they've been sitting there for days .
P.s Whoever is reading this review do yourself a favour, if you want a good sandwich, go to café Clark or even Bodega Montreal better bang for your buck & much tastier.View more
Soooo good. The bread is amazing. Super fresh ingredientsView more
Cute new spot. We tried the sandwiches. The bread was very good but sandwich just didn't have enough substance. Very little cold cuts, very little sauce or condiments. For 40$ for two sandwiches, it was pretty underwhelming & not filling. In comparisons, at other spots in Montreal, one sandwich to share is more than enough for us.View more
I tried the bologna & parma sandwiches & they were an 11/10. The bread was extremely fresh, the cheese was delicious, & the creamy pistachio sauce was fantastic. It is definitely a must try restaurant.View more
We had 3 different sandwiches, & all were delicious! Really fresh ingredients & the homemade focaccia bread was perfectly salty & crispy. The best sandwich was the bologna the combination of pistachio & ricotta was sooooo creamy & delicious. I can't wait to go back & try more!View more
