La Scacciata stands out for fresh, authentic Sicilian flavors with house-made focaccia bread for sandwiches, stellar arancini, and a Milanese that impresses, while the in-house pastry, coffee, and gelato offer a complete Italian cafe feel; guests describe a warm, family-run atmosphere, welcoming staff, and generous portions at reasonable prices, with the terrace a bonus in warm weather; a few critiques include occasional oily pizza, slower service at times, and some variation in fillings, but overall the reviews paint it as a charming, reliable spot worth returning to for good food and friendly vibes.
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.
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.
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
Hands down the best sandwich & probably the best meal I've had in Montreal in all of 2025. I can't remember the name of my sandwich but it was the one with a chicken cutlet on it, & my girlfriend had the parma. The chicken on mine was done to perfection - crispy, moist, & full of flavor. The cold cuts on hers & the cheese couldn't have been better. Both sandwiches were out of this world good & for once in Montreal we got more than what we paid for instead of feeling robbed by the price. Most places charge more for a smaller & less delicious sandwich. I am a customer for life here & will refer as many people as I can.

My god is this place ever special! Best arancini I've ever had, & delicious sandwiches. I had the La Bologna & it was extraordinary. A very unique sandwich!
Beautiful authentic Italian sandwiches, their arancinis are nothing like I tasted before & forget about the caffe by far the best in the southwest of Montreal.
Can't wait to go back for their new promotions on aperol spritz!!
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!
