Renzo Sandwich is a sandwich shop located in the heart of the Mile End, at the corner of Fairmount and Saint-Laurent. We serve hearty, gourmet sandwiches made with artisanal Italian ciabatta bread — from the Classic Sub to the Turkey Club, the Mortadella-Artichoke, the Renzo Chicken, the Corned Beef, the Cubano… and many other delicious creations.
Renzo Sandwich is described as a bold, generously filled sandwich spot with fresh ingredients and a retro vibe. Reviews praise the quality and variety, with standout items like the classic Renzo chicken, mortadella artichoke, Philly cheesesteak and porchetta, and note the sandwiches are often substantial and flavorful. Some experiences mention bread that is not fresh or too crusty and sauces that could be bolder, leading to underseasoned or dry bites. Service and atmosphere are frequently praised for speed and friendliness, but a few visits mention longer waits during peak times and limited seating.
Renzo is decent. I enjoyed my mortadella &, artichoke sandwich. The porchetta, however was disappointing as I was expecting actual pieces of meat with the cooked outer crust & got cold slices instead. That's not what I think of when I think of porchetta.
I also tried my friend's Philly cheesesteak & it wasn't great either. You can hardly taste the meat as it's easily overpowered by the cheese.
Renzo Sandwich isn't terrible but there's much better in the city. I would only return here if I happened to be doing something in the neighborhood & was short on options (that being said, I was at least happy with the service).

je tiens à dire que le sandwich n'est pas si remplie que ça dans le fond c'était un peu vide, & ça revenait à 22$ après taxes. Un Subway aurait été plus worth it, ils sont plus longs & autant garnie que eux. Le resto a une bonne ambiance pas bcp de place pour sassoir par contre. Ensuite j'ai été un peu déçu par le fait que le papayer emballage restait collé à la sandwich donc il y avait des morceau de papier qui ne senlevait pas peut être ils le cuisent avec? Bref le goût était correct mais rien de trop spéciale ( on a pris celui au boeuf 2e dans le menu)
Did number 8, taste wise its very good, the toppings are very tasty, however as a fried chicken sandwich I'd expect it to be a hot sandwich, this was cold, cheese not melted
Came here often last summer, but went back today & there was a VERY noticeable difference in the size of the sandwiches, they are much less packed now, & quite poorly made (bread was all soggy & missing some of the ingredients from the menu). There was about half the amount of meat compared to last summer. Was honestly very disappointed with the lowering of quality
