La Panzeria in Montreal

Not a big fan of fig but Focaccia bomba was delicious! Nice size for two

I love this place. The vibe and the pasta were really goodd.

It was delicious!

Food was amazing. The fig panzerotti was so delicious. Pistachios ice cream and gelato and chocolate cake were wonderful as well.

Best place ever! The food is amazing and the wine selection makes me very satisfied. A small place where you think you are really in Italy. Thank you

A true Italian gem in the heart of Montreal! The decor is warm and friendly, you immediately feel at ease. The service is impeccable, with a super friendly team. The dishes are of exceptional quality, especially the focaccia and fresh pasta. If you are looking for an authentic Italian restaurant in Montreal, I highly recommend Panzeria. An experience not to be missed!

very good food! I loved their service and you can see the authenticity of Italian food

As Italian I can say It felt like at home delicious homemade food, welcomed and warm people, fantastic service, very nice ambience

Small cozy restaurant, Ive been there several times and Im never disappointed. The Italian cuisine and the products are divine, we are always well received, the smile is there! Everything is there to have a good time.

Second time we come to this spot, and this time we got to sit down. The food was amazing, just like last time!

Travel to Puglia guaranteed!

A truly charming restaurant! The Italian cuisine is delicious and authentic, and the servers are remarkably friendly. We were absolutely won over by the burrata pasta and focaccia! An experience not to be missed!

We showed up with no reservations. It was supposed to be two hours wait but the waitress accommodated us at the bar. The staff went above and beyond. The food was phenomenal, felt like I was in Italy. Next time, definitely making a reservation!

This is a paradise! Thanks God.

Great neighborhood gem for authentic Italian. Everyone we bring here is always so pleased with the food and the service! We re so lucky they re our front neighbours!

Had a date lunch with my 9yrs old happen here. (You think tinder dates are hard?) We watched football, ate the best focaccia and daily pasta, polished it off with a bomboloni and espresso. Might ask the kid out on a second date. It was a good time. He might just say yes.

Great food, great service, but a little overpriced.

The food is delicious. The focaccia che figa is to be repeated. We will come back!

Love Paolo and this place. It has such a nice vibe and the food is consistently good.

The best focaccia in town. On the other hand, it s not cheap but it s so good! It s hearty too! I recommend the mortadella one

Delicious and creative focaccia, simple Italian meal

Amazing pizza. The crust is so good. The mortadella was perfectly salty and fatty. I wanted to try this place and it did not disappoint.

Real Pugalia on st. Denis. Only thing more memorable than the amazing food was the hospitality and environment.

WOW! I didnt have my camera with me or my cell phone so I dont have any photos, but I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. I felt like I was in Rome: typical European atmosphere and an incredible menu. Their Mortadella and pistachio pizza was delicious, Im going to go back for sure!

Best place ever recommend 100% better if you reserve or take to go

I only tried a classic panzerotti and was disappointed. The fried dough is pretty good and the ingredients good quality, but the inside was really liquid and it tasted of nothing but the fresh mozzarella juice that escapes during cooking. Really not a great experience. You should dry out the mozzarella a little before cooking and/or use less compared to the tomato sauce. Their other products look good though, I would go back and try some.

Truly delicious focaccias, difficult to find so good even in Italy, congratulations indeed!

Incredibly food, the fig focaccia is not to be missed!

Atmosphere was incredible and the food was amazing! True authentic Italian. The whole staff was very friendly/nice. The homemade focaccia was AMAZING!! I highly recommend eating here.

During my recent holiday in Montreal, I had the pleasure of discovering a true restaurant gem: **La Panzeria**. Immediately, upon crossing the threshold of the restaurant, I felt as if I had been transported to Italy. The warm and welcoming atmosphere, combined with the attention to detail, made the experience truly unique. The real protagonist of this culinary adventure was, without a doubt, the food. Every dish I tasted told a story of passion and tradition. The panzerotti, crunchy on the outside and with a rich and tasty filling, brought to mind the authentic flavors of Southern Italy. And the pasta? Simply exceptional. Homemade and cooked to perfection, seasoned with sauces that explode with flavor, it was a real delight for the palate. But La Panzeria is not just a restaurant where you eat well, it is a place where you feel at home. Great credit goes to **Pierpaolo**, the young entrepreneur behind this extraordinary project. Pierpaolo is a person who, with his energy and his smile, manages to create a familiar and welcoming atmosphere. His passion for Italian cuisine and hospitality is reflected in every aspect of the restaurant, making you feel like an old friend who has just arrived for dinner. La Panzeria is more than just a restaurant: it is a journey into the authentic flavors of Italy, an experience that goes beyond the simple meal. If you are in Montreal and want to experience an evening of true Italian cuisine, this is the place for you. I cant wait to return, to relive those sensations and flavors that made me feel so close to my homeland, despite being on the other side of the ocean. Heartfelt thanks to Pierpaolo and his team for making my visit so special. I highly recommend **La Panzeria** to anyone looking for an authentic Italian dining experience, safe in the knowledge that you will leave with a smile and the desire to return.

The quality of food was acceptable

It was fine but wont return. In the end its $63 with tax and tip for two focaccia breads and two sodas.

Only a few tables, delicious food

Super good hot chocolate and a very good donut filled with chocolate yum yum thank you very much to your beautiful team and the atmosphere

La Panzeria, listen, is that a joke? I tell you, its as if a chef had lost his temper and decided to put on a food show for you. I had an octopus burger YES, DAMN OCTOPUS IN A BURGER! It s like you have an octopus giving you a face hug. You bite into it, and you have the impression of diving into the direct ocean, like you went to Gaspésie with the fishermen, but in your mouth. After that, the pizza arrives. But wait, it s not just a pizza, it s a UFO! Raw ham, fig and honey. There you are, and you say to yourself: Let s see, is this a little sweetness or a full party of flavors?! And each bite is a slap in the face. Your taste buds are dancing a jig, that s not normal. La Panzeria isn t just a restaurant, it s a damn culinary adventure. Its like youre being kidnapped by crazy Italians who just want to thrill you. And forget about the 5 stars, I would send them a shower of stars because it s so bomb. If you dont go, your stomach will quibble with you for the rest of your life. Anyway, go over there, and get ready to have your cage shaken. It s epic, my friend!

Very very small restaurant, you have to book on Instagram or call them otherwise you will have to wait.

Went there for lunch with a friend and loved the food! Their Polp sandwich was great and the staff were super nice and helpful! Will go there again! Food : 5/5

I love this place as much as their food!

Amazing place!

The pizza was delicious. They were missing ingredients for my friend s pizza but she still enjoyed it. If you re planning on dining in just know that the space is incredibly small. Pricey but you know it s consistent in taste and you re getting good ingredients.

The place always has some kind of bs for not opening.

Omgggg the food is AMAZING!!! The foccacias with the spicy cold cuts, the one with the mortadelle and pistachio were sooooo good!!! My fav Ive tasted, if you like octopus you HAVE to try their octopus sandwich, very generous in flavors, the bread was very fresh. Amazing food! The only inconvenience the place is so small that we could not sit there. It was full house. But just for the awesome food, it s worth going.

Wheelchair accessibility: No es accesible en silla de ruedas, es un sótano. Food

Ive been wanting to try this place for a while. A little Spanish-speaking waitress is really nice, for the rest the service could be improved. The wine (Soave) was sublime, on the other hand the much celebrated Polp Fiction disappointed me a little: I wasnt expecting a cold pulpe prepared in advance, especially since in Montreal you can easily find quality fish . Then I was tempted by the bombolone with cream... Nothing to do with those you find in Little Italy.. I find the resort a fancy place designed for those who have a lot of money to spend. The managerial idea is good, but - beyond the wine - we should perhaps work on better quality.

Excellent service and food. Warm, all-Italian atmosphere. Beautiful music, happy owners, singing! The lasagna reminded me of the Sundays of my childhood.

Delicious food. The pistachio donut is the best I have ever tasted.

Small restaurant but very beautiful. A simple and small menu. On the other hand, I was disappointed with the portions and prices. I totally understand that quality comes at a certain price, but a small bowl of pistachio paste for $27 I find excessive!

Loved their focaccia + pistachio burrata!!! Would definitely come back again (and again)! The fig one is a bit too sweet for me

The thing to get here is focaccia. It comes in the size of a personal pizza and is full of toppings, which is high quality but a bit too rich for my taste.

Fabulous food, delicious drinks and great owners. Perfect all around

I had the iced latte! It was a refreshing drink on a hot summer day!

It was really good and very beautiful

Everything is delicious and the atmosphere is pleasant. I recommend the focaccia.

Simple, excellent!

Always delicious and enjoyable. Grazie!

I love this place! The foccacia, wow. What an art! We tried all three and they were fabulous

They were able to seat our large group on a busy Sunday afternoon which was really nice. We got the fig focaccia, pistachio and ham focaccia, two pastas, and their Polp fiction. All the food was fresh and so tasty. I especially loved the polp fiction. Definitely check this place out!

A delight! Thank you for this authentic cuisine

The Lasagna was very soft and the Pistachio Tartufo was AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS

A nugget! It was so delicious Nice place with a nice family atmosphere that makes you happy Super good croquetas And the half and half focaccias are a revelation! Super tasty and very fresh, a treat! Thank you so much

Best focaccia I ve had in Montreal!

We loved the savory one, which was a pure marvel. On the other hand, we were disappointed with the desserts: the Nutella donut was dry and with little Nutella. The pistachio tiramisu was honestly very small for the price ($9).

Great place, the food was great . Would recommend a reservation place is small and busy. Great place to try if you ever in the area

Wow! Went there with colleagues (group of 8). Very helpful that one of them is Italian and asked for sampling all the favorites. It was DELICIOUS! Not only was the service courteous but fast. Our server didnt need notes or seating map!!! He remembered ALL our drinks orders Ambiance is very neighbourhood eatery. Cosy. Mostly young lively but not LOUD We want to return. Beautiful discovery. Dont be scared about the fact that its in a basement. Nice trick to keep the habitués only Will be returning for sure!

Best Italian food I ve had outside of Italy. The focaccia with the figs and honey was out of this world!!

simply delicious! THANKS!

what can I say!!!! a magnificent place. excellent food prepared with exceptional quality products. Cozy place and then there are them, David and Pierpaolo, really smart guys. Their welcoming spirit overwhelms you so much that they immediately make you feel at ease, as if youve known them all your life. A stop to make... best wishes

Oooh I loved this place The pizza with burrata mortadella and pistachio was excellent. Also potato croquettes I adore (Reservation recommended)

We went here for a birthday dinner and the food was amazing! The focaccia is buonissima! The tiramisu was on the spot. They have very good drink selection. The homemade pasta is so so good. It is definitely a must try when in Montreal.

Was visiting from out of town for work and saw great reviews for this place online. After checking their hours online (which say 11-6 for Wednesday), driving out of my way to get there, and then spending 20 minutes trying to find somewhere to park in the neighbourhood to go to this restaurant, I got there at 5pm only to find the front door locked. Workers were inside, but seemed to signal they were closed. Very disappointing. Fix your hours online. Would love to try your food, but doesn t seem available for delivery, and if your hours aren t right, it kind of makes it difficult for customers. Not sure I ll bother to try again.

Great discovery!! Ive been wanting to go there for a while. I was not disappointed. Very very charming as a place. The food was simply incredible! Best burrata in Montreal! Music a little loud, especially for lunch. Service ok. In photo the Foccacia Che Figa, and the Carpaccio Bresaola, the orichietti with pistachio and burrata, and mortadella foccacia

Omg such awesome food and wonderful, service by katarina

A slice of Puglia, Italy in Montreal, best Foccacia creations, super delicious, Grazie! Food

A friend introduced me to this friendly tiny place where it would be best to make a reservation to ensure you have a place to eat. I felt like I had returned to Italy where you hear Italian spoken, the cheerfulness of the staff at the bar, the compact space of the room and above all the FOOD!!!! Just delicious!!! The tasty and melt-in-the-mouth mozzarella, the tasty and melt-in-the-mouth cold cuts, the fresh basic pizza straight out of the oven and the chefs little touch... Just mamamia!!! Espresso like at home! Nothing to say! I wont go every day but I will go again.

Get the focaccia with burrata, figs and honey. Thank me later.

The food and staff are TOP NOTCH HERE. We came from Ottawa to enjoy their hospitality and cuisine. Thank you. You did not disappoint. Grazie ragazze!

Not the most cozy place. Coffee was served cold. The service was slow. Music was way too loud for an afternoon brunch.

Great food, great people

I went there on a Thursday evening and as soon as it opened, the restaurant was full. A reservation is therefore recommended. They serve Italian dishes that you cannot find elsewhere in Montreal. The foccacia with mortadella, burrata and pistachios was beyond my expectations. A real delight! The only disadvantages are that the premises are located in a semi-basement and that the music does not suit my tastes, especially since it is very loud.

It was raining, we were a group of 3 people who were excited to come in. However, it was crowded when we went inside and the cashier told us that the whole place was reserved so take-out was the only option. After we got the order and were on our way to leave, two people walked in and another employee repeated that their tables were all reserved.... but that they can find a spot for them. So it was fully booked, but then they decided to make an exception and accommodate just those two?? This is just plain wrong and very selective of them. We ended up eating the take-out pasta in the rain. It was VERY expensive (30$) for the actual quantity which was less than half the size of a takeout box. Unfortunately, the unfair treatment and lackluster pasta made everything pretty terrible. We walked into Cinq Cinq, the place next door, where the owners actually treat you like theyre welcoming you into their home, La Panzeria does not.

Nice little find! The pizzas are just excellent, the pasta was good nothing more. Book before you go, as the place is small and doesnt have a lot of seating.

It s the story of a Quebecer, a Mexican and a Malagasy woman who go to an underground Italian restaurant and eat like angels (can angels eat? I wanted it to rhyme). To give you some context, in the team of volunteers responsible for welcoming our church, I made a new friend from an African island country who kindly agreed to join K. and me for the time of a meal. In the hope of giving him the best impression, I wanted to go for something delicious and accessible, and I wouldnt have thought I would choose so well: La Panzeria. It s very important, so I ll tell you right away: you have to book or arrive early. We showed up just in time to occupy the last stepladders near the entrance and many small groups were told to come back in an hour or two. The premises are certainly of modest proportions, but the enthusiasm is very real and justified. Some people say that they serve the best foccace in Montreal and, without having put them all to the test, I would already be willing to agree with them. Ours, with burrata and figs, was divinely soft, airy, nuanced in flavors and impeccably presented. What a great introduction to the subject! Then came in turn the pasta of the day (orecchiette al dente bolognese, if Im not mistaken), the panzerotto diavolo farsi with a melting cheese stretching to infinity (the first love of our new table partner) and the famous panino polignano (with octopus, perfectly joining K.s riverside strings). An authentic feast straight from Puglia. To complete an experience that was already overflowing with succulence, two things. Firstly, love at first sight for the pistachio tartufo. My sweet. They must have got their hands on a copy that fell from the sky. Glazed at just the right temperature to give it a soft consistency, it was creamy, intense, fragrant. It was, with strength and brilliance, the true love of all. Second, one of the two brother owners, Pierpaolo, happily wandered around the restaurant, interacting with his customers in several languages with candor, sincerity and a spirit of service. Everyone had a wonderful time. $45 per person? How many times have we paid a lot more for three times less? And how can you not give a perfect score? It was perfect. Arrivederci! Vegetarian options: Yes, many dishes with pistachios, burrata... Parking: Still difficult to find parking in Saint-Denis Kid-friendliness: Yes! With stools, benches, etc. Wheelchair accessibility: No, unfortunately, unless youre really acrobatic.

Very delicious love the place was soo happy to see there was beef charcuterie which is rare to find in general! Loved their limoncello spritz!

We ve been in Puglia last summer and honestly the food quality of this place is amazing! Really recommend the focaccias.

Very nice place tried all of their focaccias we were limited to what we were able to get because we were sitting outside at the entrance would ve loved to try the pasta :( if we were able to.. it s a bit small inside for a place that s very trendy it s either you have the luck or you don t to find a seat inside! Would be great if they made a link to reserve online.. or make a terrace on the street!

Delicious food regardless of family

Holllyyyyyy, this was so good!! The place is quite small so get there as soon as they open or reserve (I didn t know there was reservations) if you don t wanna be seated at the bar. Food was amazing honestly they are killing it.

We arrived at the restaurant at 12:40 on a Sunday. Without greeting us, the cashier asked us what our order was. Coming to this restaurant for the first time, we assumed that we had to order at the cash register before sitting down, since 6 tables were then free. We ordered, left a tip, then asked the same cashier which table to direct us to, since 6 tables were empty and available. The cashier then told us that there were reservations arriving at 1 p.m., in 15 minutes, and that our order was for takeout only. We were quite surprised, because at no time did the cashier warn us, before making us pay for the order, that it would be for take-out. We asked if it was possible to sit down to eat in the cardboard boxes for 5 minutes, which we were refused, even though it was not 1 p.m. and there were 6 free tables. No one tried to accommodate us at all, given that they had never told us that they did not have room to accommodate us. So we took our order, from the same cashier who never smiled or even wished a good day, and ate our meal standing in the street at -10 degrees. The meal was good, the pizza with burrata and pistachio was delicious, the salad unfortunately too oily and a little tired. We recommend this place for the food, but if you want to have a nice customer service experience, youre better off going elsewhere. We left this place quite disappointed and unsure of going back.

I have been wanting to try La Panzeria for a while so when I planned to come to Montreal this weekend it was near the top of my list. The Food - I got the focaccia with mortadella, burrata and pistachio, the toppings were very fresh and went very well with the focaccia. The bread was a bit chewy around the edge for my taste, looking at photos from other previous visitors it looks like mine may have just been a little more well done than usual. I had hoped to get a half-and-half focaccia with the mortadella and capocollo toppings which I had seen others post and recommend on social media however I was told at the cash register that this was not an option. The Experience - For anyone planning to visit here, please know that they DO take reservations. Their Instagram does not mention this, they have no website and seemingly no online booking however when I wanted to eat in I was unable to because I had no reservation. Overall the food was good however I wish that there is better information available online regarding reservations as I was really looking forward to the dine-in experience. I was also really looking forward to trying both the mortadella and capocollo toppings and am confused as to why this was not offered. If I were to return I would definitely make a reservation (I assume you do so by phone?) and go with a group so we can sample different things on the menu.

Mauvaise expérience. Mauvais accueil, bruyant avec un DJ dans un minuscule endroit, on ne pouvait pas se parler. Portion petite, cuisine ordinaire. Le verre de vin consiste en 3 cuillères à table! Jamais je nai vu ça de ma vie! On voulait un café et on nous a dit quil ny avait pas de café! Trappe à touristes!!! Le personnel féminin est gentil mais les gars...

The pizza and appetizer were very good. Good portions, slightly expensive for a brunch but food was good. Welcoming staffs and great service.

Absolutely worth the parking headache! Exceptionally authentic flavours, and vibe!

First off! Atmosphere was incredible such cool jams playing and warm inviting space. The whole staff made you feel like family. The food was the most authentic Italian you can find around here. The homemade focaccia to the handmade noodles, this place hands down 10 stars! As we paid we made another reservation to enjoy once more before heading back to California! Highly recommend having a bite here! Thank you so much to the whole team

Great focaccia and prosecco. What else do you need?

Most authentic Italian in the plateau

Delicious focaccia! Divine croquetas!

Puglia in Montreal? Yes, it s possible thanks to Panzeria!!! Focaccia, Panzerotti, orecchiette all the best of Pugliese street food is there. Buon appetito!

Special pizza is very good. The wine is very good. Small restaurant you need to reserve

Pizza was very fresh and delicious. A little pricey and the place is small but the service was fast , friendly and my overall experience was great. Food

Welcoming and fine staff, very busy so better to book in advance (not a lot of space but the vibe is intimate and cute)! Foccacia with burrata/figs was delicious wowwww!!

No words, so good!

Very nice discovery, a trip to mama s kitchen

Way too overpriced !!!!!

I was confused by all the good reviews - it s a cute spot, the apérol spritz are good (albeit slightly sweet), but the lasagna was severely lacking to my friend and I. Maybe it was an off day.

Focaccia was exceptional, panzerotto was incredible, tartuffo was astounding. Drinks and coffee were a delight. Service was above and beyond and incredibly friendly. Truly a delight from beginning to end.

A true Mediterranean gem in the heart of Montreal. Service food, and drinks on point. Atmosphere delightful. You can feel the love of the owners and their team at all times. Long live La Panzeria!

This was a highly recommended restaurant and I liked my experience there. The restaurant is very small and crowded which was the downside of my experience but overall happy I tried. Food

Nice place to eat, very pricey and small plates.

Great service, cozy little place, nice Italian Music. Simple food, not pretentious at all. If I lived closer, I will be going there ones a week at least.

5/5

Excellent focaccia with good quality ingredients and fresh mortadella. I would recommend to make a reservation if you don t want to wait.

Great place, superb tasty fresh food, you can feel the warmth and joy with each bit. Will definitely be back for more. Thank you for the hospitality and great service. Food

The food was absolutely delicious, fresh and Authentic unfortunately the service was not at par. Took 25 minutes for the waitress to attend our table. wouldn t go there to sit and dine. But it s an excellent spot to order and Pick-Up. Fantastic Focaccia

30 minutes that I wait for an order that I made by phone, it may be delicious but I took the seum. Update: It was really amazing bam +2 stars

Very well received on site, nothing to say about it. The foccacia is not exceptional but good. However, the pistachio pesto pasta clearly has no taste and the portion is very small. For the price, this is disappointing. Food more beautiful than good, other restaurants less Instagrammable are nevertheless more deserving.

If youre seeking genuine or unconventional Italian cuisine, this is the place to visit!

Excellent focaccia and bombolini! The service is also great, I really recommend it.

Simple, warm, family-friendly and treats you like family

Would I be back? Maybe, but for take out only. This restaurant is really small and only has a few tables, the service was quick but despite asking for water to two different waiters we didnt get until when it was time to pay. The food was good but we just didnt feel very welcomed, we saw other tables getting great service.

The focaccia is exceptional.

Go for a workout, skii, run or do some cardio before heading here. The panzeria from Puglia are unique but oh so rich. A place where food isnt taken too seriously but where great attention is taken to prepare the dishes that showcase the best ingredients. The place is tiny and always full. If you arent Italian, you may feel daunted and will definitely be in the minority.

Its a lovely place on St Denise and the food is really good. I tried the focaccia with prosciutto, burrata and honey, which was amazing and the octopus sandwich with artichoke. Even though food was great, service lacked quite a bit and we werent even served water until we were already paying. Other than that, its a great place to visit to try the delicious food they offer .

Amazing experience all around. Delicious food and coffee, great atmosphere and thoughtful service. Couldnt decide on a dessert so they made us an assortment plate, and needless to say it was delicious! They even noticed it was my birthday and sang me happy birthday and added a candle in the desserts. Thank you so much!! Truly recommend this staple to all

The café restaurant is hidden in the basement on St-Denis Street. The place is small but does not lack charm. Try the focaccia burrata mortadella pistachios. Delicious and very fresh! Special mention to the fine charcuterie which is a real treat.

Nous avons découvert ce petit restaurant italien par hasard, et ce fut une expérience tout simplement superbe. Lambiance de léquipe est vraiment positive. Lendroit est petit et chaleureux. Nous avons pu prendre un verre en attendant notre table, et la nourriture était excellente. Nous avons particulièrement adoré la focaccia. Une adresse à recommander sans hésitation !

Had one of the best sandwiches in my life! It was fluff and savory. The bombolonis are amazing too!

The taste of the food was consistent, the presentation was beautiful, but we suffered from indigestion afterwards. During our meal, the servers were perfect. Once finished, we (group of 4) were asked to leave to make room for a couple, even though there was a table of 2 right next to us that had been seated since before we arrived! Wheelchair accessibility: No

The Barese know how it s done

A little piece of Italy in Montreal. The staff even spoke Italian amongst themselves. We loved it. Everything is delicious, especially the focaccia with the figs on top!

Unique, delicious and quality. I will never lose weight because of this type of restaurant. The owner is super generous with his time, the products are fresh and the taste is excellent. I could never live without their focaccia. He can put whatever he wants on it, its genius every time. I really love the classic mortadella buratta pistachio. The other excellent one is the one with the fishing but the one that knocks me out. its with the lemon. Ive never been able to make it to dessert but we agree that you cant go wrong with bomboloni. The drinks are also very well prepared. A little more expensive than some places in the same range of products but its worth it every time. Well done. Bon appetit!

Delicious, cozy lunch spot. Not a big space but very welcoming like its someones home. Pasta of the day was tasty, something I could have eaten all day!

Little holiday lunch* *focaccia and burrata Food

Omg loved this place!! The food was just sooo yummy, the service was excellent and even though we didn t have a reservation the girl at the entrance was nice enough to find us a spot to eat. It feels like you are in italy in a small family restaurant: their popularity is such that i do predict that they ll need to expand at some point

These guys understand Italian food. These guys get it. You taste the quality and authenticity in every bite. A true experience from the great food (focaccia is a must try) to the hospitality of Pierpaolo. Go on a Sunday to have a relatively unknown dish called orecchietti con bracciola ...perfection! This is italian cuisine not that funny stuff people do nowadays.

Amazing food. And great service

Wow. Just incredible. Very flavourful and authentic. Thank you Paolo you and your brother are wonderful chefs and hosts. We thank you and will see you again.. 6 STARS!!!! The Sunday special is incredible. Thanks!

This place is fabulous! The food is outstanding and the people working there are lovely. Thanks for making us feel at home

Food was out of this world, and the service and staff was also next level. Chef came out to check on us several times and this really elevated the experience. Drinks were amazing (try the Bari Iced Tea) and the two pasta dishes we tried were phenomenal (don t sleep on the eggplant Parmesan either!!). We will definitely be back on a Sunday to try the Braciole orecchiette.

CHEF THANK YOU AGAIN. I came to eat their delicious foccacia with a friend, I have severe allergies to nuts and the chef came in person to see what he could do for me given that there are a lot of nuts in the kitchen or risk of contamination . He specially prepared foccacia for me so that I could eat. He came to bring us the dishes and made sure everything was okay. I have never received such attentive and kind service. Thank you so much ! I am extremely touched. It was a real delight!

The food is amazing, everything is fresh and delicious! I felt like I was literally in Italy The focaccia with burrata is veery good and the Lasagna with eggplant instead pasta is to die for worth the price! Also the guys are very kind and helpful!

I would have given it 6 stars if it were possible. Ive been in Montreal for almost 4 years and I dont know how I missed this magnificent restaurant. Everything was perfect; I shared some orecchiette pesto pistachio burrata with my girlfriend, as well as a cappocolo focaccia and oh my god we thought we were in Italy The service was excellent, the waiter charming and the owners Pier-Paolo and Davide super accessible. We got out for a very reasonable price (I happened to pay more for a Pizza Hut on Uber eats). I recommend everyone passing through Montreal to come and discover the cuisine and atmosphere of La Panzeria.

This place is a gem in Montreal! We had the focaccia, a real delight! Two desserts, the bombolone and a pasticciotto that is just incredible, nothing to say! The staff are really warm and caring. This is an address not to be missed!!

A piece of Italy in Montreal. Amazing!

Great people with authentic Pulia tastes

Everything you would want from an italian experience! Great food, atmosphere and people

Best Italian restaurant in Montreal

truly the most incredible focaccia Ive ever had. Highly recommend!

We loved this place. The pizzas are what you expect from an Italian pizza!

Love the place! But its small, so unless you reserve, dont show up if you are more than 2 humans. Pistachio and burrata pasta lacked a bit of seasonning but was great still. Focaccia was fluffly and made purfectly but the knives we were given could hardly cut through and it was too thick to bite in as you would a pizza. Ingredients were fresh and good quality, making the pricetag worth it. The service was super friendly and efficient as well. Also, the place was spotless and cleaner than what I am accustomed to in Mtl.

Focaccia and Burrata: 4/5 Panzerotto Diavolo: 3/5 Vibe: 4/5 Service: 3/5 Price: 2/5

One of my favorite Italian spots in Montreal! They have the best focaccia bombas and octopus sandwiches here. You also need to try their pistachio orecchiette and the tartufo dessert (on the secret menu)

OMG!

Everything is great. Juts make a reservation for a table, it was some line. But we were lucky, we gut a table. Thank you

What a terrible first experience at this restaurant. I know the place is small with limited seating so I called before arriving and was told there was a spot for 4 available. I told the gentleman I would be arriving with my family shortly. It took us 48 mins to get there (when I called we were half way into the trip so not long to arrive). I arrived with my family, including my 2 year old daughter and was told oh sorry there was a party of 2 that became a party of 4 and we have given away the seats . Are you kidding me?!!! First off, why is a party of 2 sitting in the 4 seats I asked to be reserved? What a terrible terrible impression this left on me. I had to leave, with my 2 year old, my husband and my mother in law to find a new restaurant on a Friday night where practically everywhere is booked. It s such a shame that this is the type of service thé restaurant provides its customers. Really disappointing.

Pierpaolo, the owner, greeted us, and gave us a wonderful experience from A to Z. Not only was the service hospitable but the food exceeded our expectations. Pierpaolo did us the service of picking our plates and we were blown away by the focaccia and pastas along with dessert. The ingredients are all quality and curated by the owner s evident love of food and hospitality. The desserts were just as amazing. The waitress who was so sweet is also a sommelier and gave a wonderful wine recommendation and wonderful service. As a Montreal foodie this is now one of my favorite spots in Montreal by far. Thank you to Pierpaolo and his team for an unforgettable experience.

I particularly appreciated the kindness of the staff and the atmosphere of the establishment. Reheating the foccacias before plating and serving would give the dishes even more flavor.

Absolutely perfect! The service is impeccable, the food delicious! Nothing to complain about, other than making sure you have a reservation!

AMAZING experience. You won t find better Italian food or better service than at La Panzeria.

Just one word to describe this place : PHENOMENAL

Small place. Dont go if you are more than 3. Excellent real Italian food. I have been to Italy and I can tell you it tastes like the real thing

TOP quality of raw materials!! Super welcoming place. The guys who work there are super kind and nice

Focaccia was delicious

There is just a magical Italian Excellence in this place that is hard to explain. Just try it, and you re guaranteed a five stars experience ! What a gem

Drove almost 45 minutes to get to the location in Montreal. No parking to be found nearby which is typical in Montreal, we parked 15 minutes away by foot as it was the only place we could find for parking and walked to the restaurant. We arrived at the restaurant, there were 4 or 5 tables and a few bar seats, and no possibility of being seated as all seats were taken or reserved. I didnt know we had to reserve and had no idea how small the space actually was. No possibility of reserving via the website or via Google and no indication in the website that it would be best to reserve to ensure you can be seated. We were offered to order take out, which we ended up doing. Walked back to the car and drove back home 45 minutes away in order to eat. We ordered focaccia and pasta with burrata and pistachio. The take out portion of pasta was really small for the price but tasted amazing. The focaccia also tasted amazing, reminded me of the pizzas we ate during our trip to Italy. Truly authentic and super delicious. We would definitely eat here again, but we would have to figure out how to reserve a seat at the restaurant to eat next time as the pasta portions looked larger at the restaurant than for take out. Staff was very nice and loved that everything is made fresh, just a bit disappointed at the limited seating as we were not able to experience the restaurant at its best due to the lack of seating. Parking: No restaurant parking. Limited street parking with vignettes which is very inconvenient and no parking near the restaurant. Had to park 15 minute walk away and walk to the restaurant

Great place to share a good time. The Panzeria team is cheerful and professional. The service is always above my expectations. If you dont eat pork, the staff can slice dried beef (bresaola) for you using a machine specially designed for this purpose! I recommend not forgetting a pistachio affogato for dessert :)

The food is good, the lasagna was successful even if it was not the best I have eaten, the foccace seemed more generous. The service is quite cold and unfortunately long and the atmosphere quite noisy. The decor (sterile) does not match Italy, so no travel effect, but more with the neighborhood and therefore the customers who frequent it, customers (apart from Asian tourists) in the pure juice of the plateau wanting to open but still quite snobbish and falsely interesting or even transgressive despite the efforts displayed. You will have understood that rather order and leave to still enjoy the flavors, the premises being small and the door which opens offers a current of cold air which is necessarily pleasant for the most chilly among us, I do not will not return.

Amazing service, good food, great ambiance , highly recommended! Ottimo!!!!

I was utterly captivated by the authentic Pugliese cuisine and the incredibly warm service that truly made us feel like family. From the moment we stepped in, the welcoming atmosphere set the stage for what was such a memorable dining experience. The menu, brimming with genuine Pugliese flavors, offered a culinary journey through the South of Italy. Each dish we tried was a testament to the chefs mastery and dedication to traditional recipes. What truly sets La Panzeria apart was the exceptional service! The staff and owners genuine warmth and attentiveness added a personal touch that is rare to find. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, sharing stories behind the dishes. In a city that boasts a vibrant food scene, La Panzeria is a shining gem for anyone seeking authentic Pugliese cuisine. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exquisite dining experience where you are not just a customer, but a valued guest, treated like family. I am already looking forward to my next visit!!

Wonderful place, recommended by many in Montreal, didnt disappoint, the food and crew are outstanding, its busy so try and reserve in advance

The place is really nice and typical of the Puglia region. Their foccacia is ok but a little dry. The mortadella is sliced on site and of good quality. Overall, we found the prices a bit high for what we ate compared to other similar restaurants.

Tiny Italian restaurant with great good and wonderful service. Love the panzerotto here!

First time trying it, friendly staff, the focaccia was good, lasagna and panzerotti were average. For the prices charged the portions were small, its cold cuts tomato sauce and dough for Gods sake. I would recommend it for a fun lunch and coffee, but doubt Ill go back.

Divine! Magnificent, delicious, warm!! To discover!

Really cute casual lunch spot

The staff explained the menu and it was so useful Pizza has unique flavor and both are delicious for me (we could chose half & half) And the dough of pizza is amazing ! Lasagna is basic, for me pizza is better :)

Amazing food! This little resto impressed me! The staff are super friendly and the foods are so fresh! Had the panzerotti diavolo and the orrechiette of the day! My stomach was over joyed! If you go around lunchtime, u might want to make a reservation because they get very busy!!!!

Wonderful, a delight from A to Z. Nothing more to say!

Italian restaurant but authentically Quebecois. Closed on December 24. A shame. Dont count on this mecca of Italian gastronomy to get takeaway meals that day.

What they say about this place is true!!! Absolute perfection. The focaccia is the best Ive ever. From the salumi down to the olive oil, you can see the superior quality of the products they use. Bravo.
