Saccomano's Pizza Pasta & Deli

Saccomannos is a hidden gem. Run by a multi generation Italian family they make everything from scratch and you can tell the recipes have been perfected over many years. They've been doing renos recently and the restaurant has a much more hip vibe. They've also got a small store where you can get some amazing importes goodies.

Recently had lunch here for the third time, and it just keeps getting better and better. Favourites are the veal, chicken, pasta with assorted sauces, salad(s) and best of all, the potatoes roasted with tricoloured peppers. Food is held on a steam table, and served cafeteria style, but everything remains fresh and tasty. Decor is minimal, but the excellent food more than makes up for lack of decor. Highly recommend.

Ask the 80 year old owner why his cheese is thick, delicious, and stretchy and why his crust is soft and full of flavour. He warmly smiles and says "It's my secret". Hopefully it will stay with the family and this great pizza and pasta deli will continue to burst our taste-buds for many years. You can get both regular and thin crust pizza here as well as deli style homemade pasta with chicken, veal, or meat sauce. A great place to take the family - there's a ton of room to sit and enjoy. Walk into the store section and take home some home-made pasta or fresh pizza dough for your own creations. Free parking.

The last time I ate here was about 10 years ago. We used to come here often as it was excellent. This time it not good at all. My wife had the cannelloni. It was cold and tasted like mush. The veal was also cold and heating it up in the microwave didn't help much. The pasta was as good as you could expect from a box. All in all a very poor meal.

My friend and I wanted to try something new for lunch. Saccomano's has been around for awhile but we had never been there and had heard good things. I was a little surprised when I first showed up, it's nothing at all like I was expecting inside. It's like a big warehouse space with the restaurant and kitchen on one side and the import shop on the other. There were a few people off to the one side eating, a couple others closer to the TV watching Italian soccer. The man working made us a fantastic fresh pizza to share and even brought over an experimental one he wanted us to try. Everyone was super friendly and the food was fantastic, good price too. Will definitely be headed back there.
