I had heard great things but it blew me away. Lineup almost out the door. I can understand why.

    The House Special. A 10/10 sandwich if there ever was one.

  2. youareabitchass

    Their sandwich shrunk in size about 50% compared to what it originally was

    So in my opinion, respectively, la salumeria is a joke

    Alright, this might be my Wednesday (my next day-off) destination for lunch then, thanks!

  4. Usernameasteriks

    Absolutely phenomenal sandwiches.

    Portion sizes have shrunk a bit though.

    Still worth it IMO but should be said. 

  5. Big80sweens

    One of the best sandwiches anywhere in the world

  6. Anyone know if they’re open on Sundays? How about thanksgiving Monday?

    So, a quarter of a tomato, two slices of mozzarella from a ball, and six thinly shaved pieces of meat for $17? I think I’m missing something here.

    It’s sweet it’s spicy it’s savory and soft. One of the best sandwiches in Toronto.

  9. Turduncle

    i actually found the bread to be the weak point of the sandwich

  10. I live in the area and can’t stay away from that place for more than a couple weeks. I always get the house special but with mortadella and burrata instead of the prosciutto and mozzarella.

    It’s a very good but not great sandwich.

    Fig jam is what makes the difference.

    But fairly expensive and no vegetables at all take away from it. Break is ok.

    Carlo is a top notch guy, so happy for the attention La Salumeria has been getting.

    Are you guys being paid to promote this? There is no content in this post and I don’t get why anyone with an opinion is being down voted to oblivion.

    Loveeee the house special so much I make it at home now hehe

    Yeah, that place is getting out of control it is turning into Badiali just 18 months ago and for nearly forever there was not always a waiting line. Anything can be ordered at this place if you know what to ask for, the entire menu is a hidden menu!

    I miss the pre-pandemic portions/prices. It’s good, but not $17 good.

  17. This place is fucking incredible. The mortadella with pistachio butter is also unreal

  18. EdgeAvailable7651

    Reminds me of my first Cuban in Miami….delicious

    An all-time fav for me (which I sometimes have slightly modified), but what keeps it from being perfect is the bread, which reminds me of the stuff you get from the bins at No Frills. It’s good enough as a neutral carrier for toppings, but could be so much more.

    It looks so good, I wish there was a menu description for it so I could steal it for my restaurant 😂

  21. gingalchemist

    And the owner is so friendly. He spoke to me for 10 mins when I came in for the first time. He talks about how he puts no emphasis on social media but things took care of themself.

    Even though I wouldn’t traditionally like prosciutto or banana peppers or fig jam, that sandwich is to die for.

  22. PaleJicama4297

    They have been there for decades. They are indeed doing something right

  23. infinitynull

    That looks great. I have a feeling it’s $18 though.

  24. nicky2060

    Haven’t had this but loving the balance of veg/cheese/meat. Some places just throw a pile of meat on the bread and call it a day.

  25. fifaguy1210

    One of my favourite sandwiches, absolutely delicious

    Let’s be honest, it’s fine. Those glazing La Salumeria are the same that glaze Fresca for pizza. They’re in the same category, kitschy, blue collar, establishments you want to pull for. That said, let’s not pretend like it’s top five in the city. The bread is your run-of-the-mill 6 pack buns you can buy at No Frills, wrapped with a heavy dose of plastic wrap so it survives the trip from the front of the store to the back counter.

    You’ll never get downvoted in this sub for hyping/glazing La Salumeria, but let’s not pretend it’s anything more than a Reddit cult favourite.

    I just found out that this place is a 10 min walk from where I live. I will absolutely need to check this out.
