Review Summary

Manuzza is widely celebrated for serving exceptional Sicilian arancini that are crispy, flavorful, and filled with high quality ingredients ranging from traditional ragu to creative options like truffle and pistachio. Many patrons describe the experience as a genuine taste of Sicily in the heart of Montreal, noting that the staff is consistently friendly, accommodating, and welcoming. While the atmosphere is frequently praised as cozy and inviting, some visitors note the shop has a limited footprint and can be subject to city noise when dining on the terrace. Although feedback on sandwiches is mixed, the overwhelming consensus highlights the generous portions, delicious vegetarian options, and overall high value, making it a must visit destination for those seeking authentic and quick Italian street food.

I recently discovered Manuzza Arancini Bar & Mercato in Little Italy, & it quickly became one of my favorite spots in Montreal. If you're a fan of Italian food or just looking for something delicious & authentic, this place is a must-try.

The arancini here are incredible - crispy on the outside, perfectly seasoned & creamy inside, with a great variety of fillings. I've tried several flavors, & each one was packed with fresh, high-quality ingredients. It's clear they put a lot of care into making these traditional Sicilian snacks.

The staff are friendly & welcoming, which makes the experience even better. The atmosphere is cozy & casual, perfect for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner. They also have options for gluten-free & vegan diets, which I really appreciate.

I've ordered both in-store & for takeout, & the food always arrives fresh & tasty. Prices are reasonable considering the quality & portion size.

If you want authentic Sicilian flavors without leaving Montreal, Manuzza is the place to go. Highly recommend it for anyone craving something different & delicious!

Excellent arancini's…as good as the original recipes I order from my home town in Sicily. We finally have someone who supplies the same authentic quality in Montreal….long overdue.

This place was a pleasant surprise! The food was authentic Sicilian. The prosciutto arancini & the ricotta & cheese arancini were very good but the ragu arancini was incredibly delicious. You also have to try a cannoli! Really good!! I have been to Sicily & this place is the real deal!

An authentic arancini experience is what you'll get here. A lot of options for your needs. They even make real hazelnut custard for their pastries. An open kitchen lets you peak at the making of. A must try.
