“ The Best Focaccia in Montreal! My third time at this place. The focaccia is really good. The taste is well balanced. My favorite is the one with hot honey sauce topped with figs. I also ordered the pesto pasta which is quite ok. the Local Beer taste good as well. Friendly service. The place is not so big. ”
“ I would drive back up to Montreal from Boston to have another one of their focaccia bareses with mortadella, burrata, and pistachios! Felt like I was back in Italy for the hour we were there and wish we had a place like this back in Boston. The place is pretty small and unassuming. They slice the charcuterie to order right in front of you. Everything is top notch quality. Already planning another roadtrip to come here again! ”
“ Nice cozy place to have lunch with a special person! We ordered focaccia and pasta. Both were really good ! I recommend to go there but be careful sometimes you need to wait more than 30min to have a spot! ”
“ Friendly service, nice vibes. Mozzarella and Mortadella Panzerotti was delicious. The pesto pistachio orecchiete was good but works better as a side dish than a main, like it doesn't stand alone very well. Tiramisu was very creamy, not bad though. Espressino was smooth finish. ”
“ This lives up to the hype! The focaccia was really good, one of the best I've had, even including the ones I've had in Italy. It is perfectly bouncy and chewy without being overly oily, flavored just right The gnocchi was simply amazing as well, the sauce is perfect, combined with the burrata, it just works on do many levels! The service was also very good, I only had talked out, so can't really speak for the dine-in experience. If there is one complaint, is this ain't cheap, fort my two dishes, it was over 60 after taxes. But hey, it was well worth it! ”
“ It was my first time trying this place and I was blown away by the quality of the service. The staff is so great and attentive. They took their time to answer questions and went above and beyond to provide a pleasant experience. The food is also amazing. The ingredients are fresh and simple but so delicious! I 100% recommend La Panzeria and I am so excited to go back and try more items from the menu. ”
“ The cutest and coziest Italian spot!! I heard about this place 3 years after meeting the owners and I cannot believe I waited so long to try it. Both the service and the food was impeccable. I wasn’t sure which of the focaccias I wanted to try and they let me do half/half so I got to try both. They accommodate very well and have beef options if you can’t/don’t eat pork. Every single person in that restaurant has such a warmth to them that makes you feel so welcome. Definitely making this a weekly stop. ”
“ The Best Focaccia in Montreal! Ordered the pasta of the day. Felt like we were in Italy for few hours! Wife enjoyed the wine and I had the Local Beer. The service was great as we were seated as soon as we walked in. Lived up to the hype. Would return Again! ”
