Review Summary

Manuzza is widely praised for crispy, flavorful arancini in a range of fillings such as mushroom, spinach, ragù and ricotta with prosciutto, and portions that feel generous for sharing. The arancini platter and other Sicilian snacks are described as fresh, well seasoned and made with quality ingredients, with vegetarian and vegan options noted as a plus. Service is consistently friendly and accommodating, contributing to a warm, casual vibe that suits a quick bite or a relaxed meal. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, though the small terrace by a busy street can be a bit noisy. Takeout and catering options are appreciated, and daily specials like Zeppole surprise guests. All in all, Manuzza is seen as a reliable go-to for authentic Sicilian flavors in Montreal with good value and reliable quality.

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!

Strolling through Little Italy, we stumbled upon Manuzza by chance, & it turned out to be the highlight of our day. This cozy, intimate spot keeps its menu focused, but that's where the magic lies-everything they serve is done to perfection. We sampled each of their arancini offerings, & WOW, they were simply incredible. The flavors were so on point that we couldn't help but dive in immediately, hence the lack of food photos! Beyond the food, Manuzza nails it on every level. The prices feel more than fair for the quality, the service is warm & welcoming, & the overall experience is superb. It's clear that every detail has been carefully considered. Safe to say, we'll be returning-& maybe next time, we'll manage to snap a few photos before devouring every last bite!

Mannuza is a gem of a place for anyone who loves Sicilian cuisine. The food is fresh, flavorful, & authentic. I especially enjoyed the arrancini, they were crispy on the outside & creamy on the inside. The pastries were also very delicious, especially the cannoli. The service was friendly & attentive, & the atmosphere was cozy & inviting. I highly recommend Mannuza for a taste of Sicily in Montreal. As someone who just came back from Sicily, I can say that this restaurant reminded me of the wonderful flavors & aromas of the island.
