Manuzza offers a compact Sicilian street-food vibe focused on arancini that are consistently described as crispy on the outside and creamy inside, with a wide range of fillings including ragu, mushroom, spinach and ricotta. The menu also features mortadella sandwiches, panelle, cartocci and lasagnas, often enjoyed as a quick bite or takeout, sometimes with a margarita or a cold beer. The staff are repeatedly praised for warmth, friendliness and helpfulness, making visits welcoming, while the space is casual and cozy with a small terrace that can be a bit noisy from the street. Portions tend to be generous and catering or large takeout orders are noted positively. Overall, the reviews position Manuzza as an authentic, affordable spot to experience Sicilian flavors in Montreal, with customers eager to return to try more fillings and dishes.
Their Arancinis & cappuccino were great, & the service was amazing too. When we were leaving, we asked if they had Cannoli for breakfast the next day, & the owner offered us their daily special Zeppole. It was mind-blowing, & he even refused to take money for it since it was his suggestion to try it. I never expected that in a big city like Montreal. Highly recommend if you're in the area & want some quick Italian pastries or Arancinis.
Nous nous sommes régalés, le lieu est super ! Une pleine immersion en Sicile !
On était 3, plus prévu pour des repas à emporter car c'était presque la seule table disponible que l'on a pris
I am so happy to have found this place. The platter of arancini was so delicious. Thank you Giovanna for being so kind & helpful. Will definitely be back.
We had 2 dozens as an appetizer. Very generous portions .. we took all 3 vegetarian options . We loved the mushroom & the margarita - added a little chilly oil on top & there were just wow. Thank you
Asian mothers typically use leftover rice to make fried rice or porridge; Italian mothers, on the other hand, take leftover Italian risotto, wrap it around cheese, ham, mushrooms, & other ingredients, & fry it into rice balls shaped like little oranges. They're served hot, & the cheese stretches beautifully when you bite into them-very delicious!

Ordered a big batch of arancini as well as two lasagnas, everything was really delicious! The owner is very helpful, friendly & accommodating. It was fantastic experience for both food & service.
Will be back!
Ps: everything is great so you can't go wrong but if I had to pick favourites I'd go with the ragu arancini & the vegetarian lasagna
This is a great place to eat Arancini. We tasted the mushroom one, the spinach one & the ragu. If I were to pick one I would pick the ragu because it's the most flavorful. They are not greasy at all. They have a small summer terrace but it's next to the road so there's a lot of car noise (to be expected in the city). Overall a great place with good Sicilian arancini.
Arancinis out of this world, tried the funghi & épinards & ricotta & they were delicious, tried it at italfest so it was one of those street stands so can't really say anything for the service or atmosphere but man I'm coming back for those arancinis.
Amazing arancini & friendly service at Manuzza!!!! Crispy, flavorful, & perfectly stuffed-their Sicilian street food is a must-try. The menu offers delicious classics & creative twists (truffle, pistachio, ragù). Staff is warm & helpful, making the experience even better. Great spot for a quick bite or a casual meal. 10/10! ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
Adorable little lunch spot.
Well decorated, atmosphere is very inviting!
The service is great & the food is amazing.
Their arancini's are out of this world 😍
Délicieux arancinis au coeur de la petite Italie. Tu te sens dans le Sud de l'Italie le temps d'une collation. Il serait cependant important d'avoir la sauce marinara pour les accompagner. À 6$ l'arancini, elle devrait même être incluse.
Arancini les meilleurs' a Montreal
Petite Italie
Aussi les cocktails j'ai eu une sangria très froide délicieuse le spritz aussi bien fait
La terrasse sur St Laurent c parfait
