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.
The food's absolutely excellent & filling, the atmosphere's calm & chill & the waitresses are always polite with me. There's a reason I always wind up here after mass Sundays!
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!

It was my first time here & I got so disappointed because the food & the selection is amazing but the service it's horrible, the 3 girls on the counter on Saturday were so rude & one of the girls just slammed the food on the counter like I wasn't paying for my food or I was begging for something
We order 3 times & the 3 were very rude, even my friend was shocked about their attitude
Seriously the sweetest staff! Was walking around Montréal with a friend back in May, & an older gentleman who I assume was the owner asked us to come inside. It was amusing, so we did. We ordered Aperol Spritz, & he gave us free lemon pastries!! Upon finding out it was my birthday, I was given free tiramisu! He talked to us the whole time & was incredibly funny & kind. He made us promise to come back next time we are in Montréal, which I of course will!! Very fun!
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.
Super yummy & a great place to sit & relax

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
The owner John is a Beauty… his uncle is even better! The food is delicious & the service is 10/10. Great spot, great people & a the best sandwhiches & arancini! Ask them for the stuffed peppers, a real Italian classic! Highly recommend
