La Scacciata attracts broad praise for authentic Sicilian sandwiches built on house made focaccia that’s crispy on the outside and soft inside, with crowd favorites like Milanese, porchetta, Parma and Agrigento and ingredients shipped from Italy that elevate the fillings; the bread and arancini are often highlighted as standout, and real gelato imported from Italy is noted by some as a nice bonus. The atmosphere is described as warm, cozy, and welcoming, with friendly staff and a family vibe, plus an outdoor terrace that’s great in summer. Service can be slow or uneven at times according to a few reviews, but many describe attentive and caring service that makes guests feel at home. Coffee and drinks are generally good, though one comment mentions espresso being a touch acidic, while pizza is seen as solid but not always exceptional and sometimes pricey for the portion. Overall, La Scacciata is viewed as a must try for those seeking fresh, flavorful Italian sandwiches and homemade bread, a neighborhood favorite for casual lunches or meals with friends, with many returning for the variety of sandwiches, arancini, pasta and desserts.

I love encouraging family businesses! Especially when you can tell the owner takes pride in their restaurant/café.

Very clean
Sarah is sweet
Owner ( I assume ) was a very well-groomed, kind & big-hearted type person, very generous & passionate.

We were lucky to try multiple flavours for the pizza. The spicier one being our favourite!

I would return!

I will give a critical comment however

1. The music was slightly too loud considering it was a Y2K throwback ( amazing set list but distracting for anyone who wants to read/laptop )

2. My stomach is sensitive so the pizza although nice, was a bit too oily, & I kept having to wipe my hands - & slightly cold

I would return to try pastries & drinks however - it was very nice!

Much love

& thank you!

La Scacciata on Notre-Dame is a gem! Their espressos & drinks are top-tier, & the Italian food is always fresh & authentic. The staff is incredible, treating every guest like family. Plus, their outdoor terrace is the perfect spot to relax in the summer. A must-visit for great vibes & food!

Forget your usual lunch spot. This is a game-changer! La scacciata is a family-run Sicilian joint that feels like it was teleported straight from Italy.

The food is just... honest-to-god incredible. The star is the bread they use for their sandwiches, the'scacciata.' It's this magical focaccia-like bread that's crispy on the outside but soft & airy inside.

Whatever they pile in between it-whether it's the perfectly crispy Milanese or the legendary porchetta-is ridiculously fresh & flavorful.

Don't even look at the menu too hard. Just walk up & ask them what's good today. Trust them completely. You'll end up with the best sandwich you've had in a long, long time. & if they have arancini available, get one. Don't think, just do it.

This is the kind of place you'll find yourself making excuses to go back to. It's not just lunch, it's a whole mood. You'll leave happy, I promise.

Incredible experience. This is a piece of Italy right in the heart of Montreal. The service is personable & you feel like you entered a family member's home. Whether it's for a coffee, a snack, or a meal you won't regret this visit. Grazie mille Pino.
