535 River Rd W, Wasaga Beach, ON L9Z 2X2, Canada
Authentic Italian Focaccia sandwich Bar. Making delicious artisan sandwiches with high quality imported Italian ingredients. Homemade lasagna and Gelato. Specializing in Italian coffe; espresso, cappuccino and latte.
Amazing high quality. Lasagna is multi layers and sandwiches were huge. The chef came out to greet us. Take out pasta frozen options. Olive oil, balsamic and sauce available to purchase. Everything is imported from Italy. No corners cut here!!
Stopped in here for a bite and discovered a true gem! Everything was so fresh and made from scratch or imported from Italy. The ingredients really stand out and everything was delicious. There’s such a large variety of sandwiches it’s hard to choose just one! The owners are truly passionate about their food and it shows. They really make the experience special, they’re just lovely and were so great with our young son. The shop is tiny and quaint and cute, making it feel like a little shop in Italy. We will definitely be back when we’re in town to try the rest of the menu!
Owner and service staff are extremely friendly, take time to explain things and don’t mind if you can’t pronounce the Italian sandwich names. Sandwich prices are on the higher end but the fresh fluffy focaccia and amazing ingredients are worth it for sure. I can’t speak for the gelato or frozen lasagna sold here because with such amazing sandwiches I don’t even think about ordering anything else. Certainly a place to try if you’re in the area!
We stopped here for lunch and it was AMAZING! Yummy and HUGE focaccia sandwiches, lots of options and ingredients were fresh and delicious. Service was super friendly and great. If you’re in the area you need to visit. These would be great to pick up for lunch on the beach. We will definitely be back!
Cheaper than a flight to Italy. Can't wait to go back the second I'm in the area again!! Very generous portions, the most delicious fresh bread. Lasagna was to die for. I couldn't stop eating it until it was gone.
You gotta try this! Missing Italy? Missing authentic cuisine? You don’t have to look further. One focaccia sandwich will easily feed two. Yummy ingredients from Italy or local produce. It doesn’t get any better than this. You gotta try this!
Oh my god as if I haven’t reviewed this sooner - one of my new and most favourite spots in the beach. Straight from Italy LITERALLY! the owners fly everything in, handmade to perfection. You need to try this - the focaccia’s are massive, fresh and even as I write this I’m planning my next trip back!
I have been to Che roba several times, and (I'm in a mission to try their entire menu), I can honestly say that it is one of the best places to enjoy authentic Italian focaccia sandwiches, well they are the best, i simply cant find another place that the foccacia taste so good lol. The bread is freshly baked, soft, and fluffy, with a crispy crust and a drizzle of olive oil. The fillings are generous, flavorful, and made with high-quality ingredients. My favorite is the Cheroba, followed by the pero, mercato, vegetariana and caprese. They also have a variety of drinks and desserts to choose from, along with pasta and etc...The service is very friendly and the owners very nice!
One of the best sandwiches I ve ever had. The che roba panino was phenomenal and the staff were welcoming. Definitely going become a staple!!
Trust these folks to help you choose a great wine. We were delighted with the Fonte Romana by Paseti...
On repeat at the cottage. Best place to eat in Wasaga hands down!
Che Roba! is hands down the best Italian Focaccia sandwich, espresso, gelato, and frozen food shop. Chef Luca is truly a master. Every time I order, I feel his love for the ingredients and the craft of cooking, which adds to the whole experience. If you re looking to enjoy a real taste of Italy, I highly recommend! Also they re super friendly!
Parking: Good location easy to get to Kid-friendliness: The sandwiches are excellent Food : 5/5 |
Absolutely fabulous! Exquisite Gelato and desserts too, and we found them by accident after visiting Wasaga Beach provincial park on a day-cation. Well be back! Many thanks for your hospitality, from Donnie and Marie
Such great find! Everyone is so friendly and sweet! Well be stopping back here when we come through for the next time were by! Thank you for such a great experience and delicious sandwiches Best focaccia Ive ever had!
Wanted to try this place, went tonight. Looking over all the sandwich options on the menu board when I come to a sign that read no substitutions For someone who has a lactose issue I thought they would be more accommodating. After I was told NO I walked out. If the sandwichs are not pre-made and everything is fresh I shake my head and wonder why I couldnt have gotten a sandwich minus cheese. I suggest to review all the sandwich options on the menu before going espically if your lactose issue as there are No Substutions. Lost my business!!
Food is incredible and ingredients from Italy. Owners are lovely and welcoming.
The best sandwich Ive ever had Their red sauce is perfect. Exceptional service
The freshly made focaccia makes the sandwiches here, absolutely delicious!! Also, you must try the Tiramisu. It is light, airy and not very sweet.
So happy that we came across this spot in wasaga beach! I ate the most delicious sandwich I ve ever had - the Che Roba! Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. We also tried some espresso, gelato and cannolis which were all incredible and super fresh! It will be hard to drive by without stopping in for a bite! Thank you Che Roba!
Absolutely awesome sandwich!! The foccaccia bread is fantastic!! Felt so welcomed... and took the time to explain and help me decide ! Ill definitely be back!!
Honestly this is the best focaccia sandwich I have had in my life. Run, dont walk, to this phenomenal restaurant.
Amazing sandwiches, fresh ingredients and lovely owners. You have to try this place, you won t be disappointed!
We stopped for lunch and were really pleasantly surprised by the fantastic (and huge!) focaccia sandwiches. Our daughter and son-in-law really enjoyed theirs as well and wisely also bought their tiramisu. Possibly the best we have ever eaten!
Great spot to enjoy an authentic Italian sandwich. The focaccia is homemade and delicious and enormous. The owner is Italian and very sweet. If you re at the hockey arena for a tournament or just passing through this place is a MUST try. Congrats on your 1 year anniversary!! Food
I saw a 3 star posting from Wal. I gave it a 5 Star. Who would you believe, a wannabe Italian named Wal or a authentic Italian named Tony. Food, service was great. Favorite place to eat when in Wasaga Beach.
Delish!
Ive only ever had the frozen veal lasagna from here and its so bland and flavorless. I dont get the hype at all
Outstanding sandwich! We had the Pero and the Classica .could not ask for a fresher sandwich Vegetarian options: Caprese Sandwich with the freshest focaccia
What stuff... We went to this little place with an Italian-Canadian cousin who wanted me to taste an Italian coffee at all costs, given that its difficult to find it in Canada.... What can I say, the place is welcoming, Antonella and Luca , the Italian owners are friendly and professional. Excellent coffee, cappuccinos and croissants like in Italy. Luca also prepares excellent focaccias with many refined Italian ingredients. We tasted four... one better than the other. Incidentally... The focaccias on the menu cannot be changed, and rightly so, the taste would certainly be affected. Thanks for taking us back to Italy :)
First time visiting here despite driving by several times. I am blown away at how delicious and fresh the focaccia sandwiches are. I also had a croissant which was also amazing. I highly recommend and will be back soon. Very high quality and fresh food.
Amazing service and atmosphere. I had #3 (Che Roba!) I believe. It was a delicious sandwich just very slightly greasy. Would go again to try another one of their sandwiches
Great place and anything that you order it s all good
Had such a wonderful experience and meal at Che Roba! The focaccia is light and airy and the flavour combinations made us feel like we were back in Italy. Get the che roba - it s incredible.
Amazing focaccias and cappuccino. I highly recommend the place.
Che Roba! They make the best focacia sandwiches--they bake their own bread & source their meats, truffles & oils directly from Italy. If youre used to grocery focacia (greasy and heavy on the belly), a authentic focacia is one that is soft inside and very lightly oiled. We restaurant hopped along Wasaga Beach and this shop by the side of the gas station (away from the actual beach) has by far the best on-the-go casual food. This isnt a Subway or McDonalds so enjoy the wait at their outdoor picnic grounds.
This place is amazing!!!! You have to check it out!! The bread melts in your mouth. The owners are delightful!!!
This place was amazing!! Wasn t sure as Wasaga is a tourist-y town and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food, service and overall atmosphere of this place. Italian owners making delicious Italian sandwiches, gelato and coffee. I got the vegetariano and the gorgonzola cheese with the vegetables was FANTASTIC!! Would 10/10 recommend for folks visiting Wasaga (and locals as well) to stop in. There is a little bar to sit at inside as well as picnic tables outside. Thanks for the delicious lunch!!!
Adorable place, excellent service, at first glance I thought my sandwich didn t have enough meat on it, but honestly the ratio and flavour was bursting and it was delicious. Excellent quality! Loved the Fuoco was the best!
This was one of the best sandwiches weve had in as long as we can remember. We had the Mamma. It was amazingly tasty, bread so fresh. Service (wish I knew her name... Proprietor) is great, she is lovely. You take it to go or there are picnic tables. Definitely will be back. And will tell my neighbors.
Such a cute little place. The owners are lovely and the food is great. Plus homemade gelato
A beautiful touch of authentic Italy in the heart of Wasaga Beach. Homemade fochia, lasagna, expresso, gelatos, sauces, beverages and more. This is a must stop in Wasaga Beach. Exceptional owners, and always fantastic service.
Absolutely perfect! One of the best sandwiches I have ever had...including time in Italy. The owners were extremely nice and explained how fresh all the ingredients are. Best option in town for a healthy, delicious meal.
Had amazing gelato, focaccia and team there is so friendly!
Amazing sandwiches, they re massive. Everything is fresh and taste was incredible. Someone really enjoyed the meat lasagna! Portion sizes will not disappoint, try this hidden little gem in Wasaga! Thanks guys! We ll see you again for sure! Kid-friendliness: My little guy really enjoyed the lasagna, and everyone enjoyed his company :) Owners are very friendly.
If you are looking for authentic italian foccia sandwiches, this is the place to go.. Espresso is very good as well. They also serve italian Gelato. Food : 5/5
We walked into Che Roba to ask about catering for a 100th birthday party for Nona. Luca and Antonella were very welcoming, explained how they would prepare the food in bite size pieces for casual eating between lunch and dinner. We ordered focaccia sandwiches, three or four varieties for about 25 people. We also ordered two of their lasagna. We had enough for everyone and some had seconds. The pasta is homemade with their own sauce. Everyone loved it even Nona. The focaccia was so light and tasty, baked fresh. She noticed that too, actually everyone did. There were no left overs and no one left hungry. We recommend Che Roba, Luca and Antonella and will definitely be back again. They also serve espresso and gelato, we can t wait to go back for gelato.
Excellent food, generous portions and exceptionally friendly staff. Everything we tried was delicious. Highly recommended.
What an amazing lunch! The sandwiches are excellent, super friendly service and delicious homemade Gelato!! I would highly recommend Che Roba!!
Not sure why all these 5 stars about , food was cold and definitely way from authentic Italian
My family and I enjoyed the focaccia sandwiches. Worth the cost and quality ingredients!
This place is AMAZING!!!!! Yesterday we had 2 of their focaccias.....fantastic, so fresh and delicious. Then for today at the beach we ate their meat lasagna...perfetto. Thank God theres finally good, Italian food in Wasaga
The only constructive criticism I can think of is that for the price, the bread is so fluffy and fresh that only one slice of prosciutto on the Che Roba sandwich made it fall short in terms of value. However, we will be back to try out the rest of the menu!
Delicious food with big portions!
Molto bene! The foccacia was so soft and delicious. I had the Fuoco and the onion jam was insane!! Nice outdoor seating and the lady at the front was super nice. Definitely visit if your in wasaga and want a nice Italian sandwich.
Great food and coffee combined with the warmth of the owners Antonella & Luca!
A little taste of Italy in Wasaga Beach! Tasty gelato, with the lemon flavour exploding in your mouth. The focaccia was tasty, incredibly light and a huge sandwich! This is going to be a regular spot for us.
This place is phenomenal. I stopped in to check it out and had a cappuccino while owners gave me a tour. Very friendly people. I bought a small bottle of their homemade tomato sauce. Best money I ve ever spent. Had spaghetti at home that night and was transported back to the best Italian restaurants in Toronto because of that sauce. I can t wait to try their sandwiches and gelato now.
A Slice of Italy in Wasaga Beach Che Roba! From the moment you step into Che Roba!, you are transported straight to Italy, thanks to the culinary expertise of Chef Luca and the charming ambiance that this focaccia and gelato bar exudes. The star of the menu is undoubtedly the focaccia sandwiches, which are nothing short of a masterpiece. Each sandwich is a blend of traditional flavors and modern creativity, with bread that s perfectly crispy on the outside yet delightfully soft inside. The gelato selection is equally impressive, featuring classic and innovative flavours that are creamy, rich, and irresistibly smooth a true testament to the genuine Italian gelato experience. What truly sets Che Roba! apart, however, are the heartfelt conversations with the owners, Antonella and Luca. Their sincerity and passion for what they do add a personal touch that makes every visit memorable. Whether you re a local or just passing through Wasaga Beach, a visit to Che Roba! is a must for anyone looking to indulge in an authentic Italian culinary experience. Buon appetito!
All the stars! Absolutely fantastic. love the Geraldo!
excellent focaccia sandwich bread was soft and fresh and the toppings were plentiful. Food
Che Roba is the best spot in Wasaga Beach for Gelato and Italian sandwiches! Everything is homemade with Italian ingredients imported from Italy. This place is number 1!!!
Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options. We bought the eggplant parmigiana lasagna (frozen, ready to bake) which was a very generous portion for $68 (should feed 6-8 easily). Food
Best sandwiches ever! Huge portions! Amazing quality! Wonderful people! Much love!!
I simply love this restaurant. The owners make you feel welcome immediately. The sandwiches are beyond amazing and the gelato, well...Im speechless. You wont regret checking this place out. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a wheelchair ramp to the door but the sill is high and might be tough to get over.
Really tasty sandwiches and coffee! The gelato is also amazing.
The owners are so delightful and are obviously so proud of their products, taking time to explain the menu and make suggestions. Every time I go there, I am welcomed like a new customer but made to feel like a friend of the family Authentic Italian cuisine at its best! Their focaccia is superb and generous with the fillings, we absolutely love the million layer lasagna - and the Gelato is heaven on earth! - you will think youre in Italy! You gotta try this gem!
An absolute pleasure to experience great customer service by Che Roba, food pretty much explains the love and enthusiasm they have for the customers. Will never stop going there ever.
Best home made Italian food, cooked with passion and love using the freshest ingredients flown in form Italy - yes all meats and vegetables! Their focaccia is baked fresh every day and you can feel the soft flavourful bread in every bite. Chef Luca and Antonella cook with their heart and welcome you like family. Their espresso and coffees are outstanding. Definitely a must visit while you are in Wasaga. Vegetarian options: Awesome vegetarian options Parking: Plenty
You have to check this place out! One of the best sandwiches, not just in Wasaga Beach but all of Ontario. Their focaccia is made fresh daily and paired with the most exquisite meat, cheese and even vegetables imported straight from Italy! Owners Antonella and Chef Luca treat you just like family from the moment you enter and are always smiling and ready to chat. Their espresso is the perfect pick me up, made in authentic Italian style of course. Dont forget to pick up some fresh pasta, phenomenal gnocchi and homemade sauce to enjoy at home too!
Great coffee and deserts !
Amazing authentic Italian sandwiches. I highly recommend trying the Che Roba focaccia it s delicious! Service is also fantastic! Thanks Che Roba
Called ahead after reviewing the menu online. Picked up two (huge) sandwiches, drinks and biscotti. Everything was delicious and clearly fresh. Obvious care for ingredients. Will definitely return! P.s. a small hazelnut gelato for the road was very flavourful and excellent Vegetarian options: Tried the vegetable sandwich. Definitely fresh ingredients and care for flavours Parking: Lots of parking Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp
You gotta eat here! The sandwiches are delicious, coffee too. Great customer service. I ll definitely be back.
Just went there today for the first time. Love it! Will definitely be going back
The closest Ive come to finding authentic Italian (homemade) food. You can tell they love what they do. Its a labour of love to make foccacia, pastries, gelato, and lasagna by scratch. Vegetarian options: The Caprese is my go-to, and im not a vegetarian. Its that good!
The food here is only of the highest quality. Amazing sandwiches and coffees. We gifted a panettone to my in laws. Tae kwon do master Maestro Chong approves! Best Panettone ever. Service is exceptional and we enjoy coming back.
A real taste of Italy right here in Wasaga. Focaccias and ingredients are so fresh and delicious. Everything from the aromatic espresso to the authentic gelatos are just to die for. So happy Che ROBA! is here!
The best sandwich ever! So authentic! Owners are really nice too.
This is a very cute little focaccia shop. The owners are extremely friendly and really take their time to explain things to their guests. The food overall is great, with one exception. Foccacia is excellent quality and clearly very fresh, while they do not sell it on its own they do sell it in a sandwich form. They top their sandwiches with fresh and authentic ingredients, the mozzarella is fantastic. The gelato bar is also lovely and has a great selection of flavours. The flavours were absolutely top notch and unique. (Apple pie for example). The lasagna was very disappointing. It was clearly not fresh and extremely dry. I could tell that at one time it was a beautiful lasagna but, you know when you make lasagna at home and go to microwave it the next day (that rubbery dry texture) well that s what I got. I would not order this item again nor recommend it. The restaurant should consider taking it off the menu as it diminishes the otherwise, amazing food they re putting out. With that said though, it s one badly executed dish where the rest of the menu is fantastic. I highly recommend a visit for a sandwich, a coffee and some gelato. A great new addition to Wasaga.
A chef with a passion for food. I ate delicious lasagne here today accompanied by a cappuccino. Sitting at a picnic table enjoying my lunch I could believe I was in Italy. As a personal chef in London, England I believe I m qualified to share my opinion with others. Honestly I could tell with every bite that the pasta was made with love, a great chef cooks from the heart and clearly Luca has this passion. He showed me a wonderful focaccia that just came out of the oven so I was torn with my decision of what to eat! I m so happy I chose the lasagne as I don t believe it could be bettered. Full marks go to Che Roba. In the words of Arnie I ll be back
A great eating spot in Wasaga Beach Che Robas focaccia is amazing. So fresh, airy, light but filling just like focaccia should be. They have a lot of different great focaccia sandwiches to please everyone. As for the gelato you cant beat it. Reminds me of my days growing up on College St in little Italy. The gelato and ingredients are so fresh and you can taste the different ingredients in each one. Weve tried all of them multiple times already. Actually, weve tried most of their menu and we keep going back. The owners and staff are warm, friendly and helpful.
If I could give 10 stars, I would! The quality of ingredients and the freshness of this focaccia is outstanding! If your looking for an amazing lunch this is the place! I have frequented this place often and never have been disappointed. The owners are kind, courteous and have a passion for their business, and it shows! Hats off to you guys! P.s the coffee and cappuccinos are delicious.
I have a cottage nearby, and Have came here for foccacia a few times it is fresh and delicious. The ice cream is very good especially the pistachio.
I had the vegetarian focaccia and it tastes amazing. All the ingredients were fresh and it was so worth it. I will be going there again very soon
This place is a must try, everything is amazing, I highly highly suggest getting the pistachio gelato, owners are also extremely friendly!
We ve found our new go-to place in Wasaga Beach for delicious Italian focaccia sandwiches and lasagna. There isn t anything else like this in the area! The owners were super friendly and you can tell they are passionate about creating great food with quality ingredients.
#cherobawasaga for lunch with Natalie today, although our lunch date was crashed by Gerry and Pat, that didn t put a damper on things, in fact it made for a lot of laughs. The food was excellent! So much so I ordered more and brought it home to share with mom! Amazing focaccia sandwiches!! Fit the large size take out container!! Pictured is the Pero. I could not get over the size of them! Finished off with some delicious homemade gelato and cappuccinos! I m surprised I m able to type this after the food coma I went into once getting home. Che Roba in Wasaga next to Pioneer is definitely worth the stop! 5 stars in my opinion! Thank you Antonella and Luca for the most excellent food and service!
We got a sandwich (panini) and it was excellent! The ingredients and especially bread is fresh and made daily. Also got a single lasagna, delicious. You can tell an experienced/high profile chef made it. Portions are large too. We will be back. You ve got to meet them. Wasaga s got a gift and you need to try this gem!
Wow!! Amazing authentic Italian Sandwich, so tasty and fresh, what a hidden Gem this place is. Delicous! Thanks for the great service this morning!
Amazing gelato, focaccia and coffee. Highly recommend.
Fresh Ingredients! Knowledgable owners and authentic Italian sandwiches! Will be a repeat customer! Food : 5/5
Wonderful people and food Best Lasagna in town and my favourite Focaccia is the Che Roba one with prosciutto & truffle truffle paste!!! 10/10
One of the best sandwiches I ve ever had
