Delicious sandwiches with quality ingredients- served with a smile!
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!
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.
Very disappointing. Was expecting an amazing Italian sandwich with generous ingredients but instead I got a basic sandwich with one small layer of salami. For the price, not worth it. Bossa is far more good.
During our first visit to La Scacciata, my girlfriend & I were immediately charmed by the neighborhood. The area has a great atmosphere, & we had no trouble finding parking, which is always a plus in Montreal. The restaurant itself is cute & cozy, not too big but with enough seating to enjoy a relaxed meal. The space is well laid out, making it feel welcoming without being cramped.
As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the friendly & attentive staff, which set a great tone for our meal. One of the nice things about La Scacciata is that they have a display of pre-prepared food, making it easy to see what's available before ordering. Everything looked fresh & appetizing, but we came specifically for their signature dish: scacciata.
They offer two varieties of this traditional Sicilian stuffed focaccia:
• Taormina - Stuffed with sausage & rapini, this one had a rich, savory flavor with a bit of earthiness from the rapini. The sausage was well-seasoned & paired perfectly with the soft, slightly crisp crust.
• Agrigento - A more comforting option, filled with potatoes & onions. It was hearty & satisfying, with the potatoes adding a creamy texture & a slight sweetness from the onions.
Both were absolutely delicious, & the crust had just the right balance of crispness & chew. You can tell that the ingredients are high quality, & everything tasted fresh & homemade. The portion sizes were generous, making it a great value for the price.
Speaking of price, La Scacciata is very reasonably priced, especially considering the quality of the food. We left feeling full & satisfied without breaking the bank, which is always a win.
Overall, we had a fantastic first experience, & La Scacciata is definitely a place we'll be visiting again. Whether you're in the mood for a quick bite or a casual meal, this spot is worth checking out. We can't wait to come back & try more from their menu!
Phenomenal went twice in two days! Fresh very high quality ingredients, nice flavours, friendly caring staff, feels home made
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!
Fresh bread, fresh ingredients, friendly service. The sandwiches are outstanding.
Nice ambiance, fresh ingredients, good portions & friendly staff. Was a great first experience. The price was fair & comparable if not competitive with other sandwich shops. Sandwich & drink was 21$ all in. Great addition to the street & I'll definitely be back!
