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.

We were wandering around Little Italy in Montreal & found this cute little café. The vibe was great, & we loved sitting outside to enjoy our snacks. We had a chicken sandwich & tried both the ragù & cheese prosciutto arancini. The cheese prosciutto one was my favourite; nice & cheesy without being too strong, while the ragù one was good but more typical. We also had a margarita, & it was so good, not too sweet & really well balanced. Little Italy is definitely worth checking out; there are so many good spots, way better than eating downtown!

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!
