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.
Je suis venu durant la journée un jour de semaine avec ma fille pour venir voir ce qui avait remplacé l'ancienne boulangerie. Je n'ai pas été déçu! L'ambiance est chaleureuse. J'ai bien aimé la déco. Le service est impeccable. J'ai eu toute un accueil pour ma première visite. La sandwich que j'ai commandé (la marsala) était délicieux. Je recommande fortement d'y aller essayer.

Found this place online & decided to try it out. WOW did we make a good choice. The food is so fresh & so delicious. MUST TRY. They also let me know they have a terrace where I can enjoy my sandwich with my pup in the summer. We tried the Milanese, Bologna & Agrigento. All so yummy. Thanks! We will be back
Such a tasty shop! Pizza & sandwiches taste so fresh & clean. Ingredients shipped from Italy. Everything about this store is so warm & authentic. Definitely a must try!
Great addition to the neighbourhood! Approved by my difficult Italian friends. Focaccia on the sandwiches is always great, food is fresh & the boys are welcoming! You guys should post an updated menu online!

As my first time in Montreal, I was visiting for a concert with a friend & this place was one of the ones in walking distance to the theater. Clean with a good atmosphere & plenty of seating as it wasn't very busy.
INCREADIBLE sandwiches made in house, with the kitchen making the bread by scratch in the back. Definitely could not complain about the food for sure.
It's one of those places where you take a bite & then your mind starts planning for your next trip back. That sandwich was the best by far I have ever tasted. Thank you Pino. Loved it
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.
Un vrai coup de coeur ! La sandwich Côte-Milanaise était savoureuse, la pizza aux épinards délicieuse & le cannoli parfait pour finir. Service chaleureux & ambiance conviviale. J'y retourne sans hésiter!
The sandwiches are good but the pizza is really is bland & overpriced for what you get. I'm Italian so I am rooting for you I just think the pizza is overpriced for such small squares. Wish you the best
