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

Absolutely loved our first & definitely not last visit here! The owner Pino is truly so passionate about his place. He was the kindest ever to our daughter & made us feel so welcomed! The pizza is flaky & light, the gnocchi's pillowy, tiramisu delightful. 10/10 recommendView more
Une ambiance charmante & chaleureuse qui invite au voyage en Italie accueilli avec convivialité par le propriétaire.
J ai partagé un copieux sandwich porchetta, chaud & un Parma froid. Les deux sont un pur régal.
Je me laisserai tenter la prochaine fois par les pizzas ou les arranchinis ou la sciaccata... Je verrai.🙃View more

Super cafe Italien les pizza sont super bonne & croustillantes ! Service rapide courtois pour emporter ou sur place ! Ça vaut le détour !View more
It was delicious !! The arancini are amazing. I got the beef & peas one. The mushroom pizza with the secret truffle sauce was a hit. We loved the grilled vegetable sandwich & the spinach snd cheese pastry. But next time for sure I'll order way more cannelloni- the mini size is perfection. The perfect combination of cryspy & creamy & I'll also order more Nutella doughnuts. So happy to have you in the neighborhood & thank you for the warm & generous welcome today. Recommended 100%.View more
