Mattachioni

Came here with a friend for lunch! They’re both a restaurant and a little bakery. You can buy day old bread for cheaper, alongside all their other products.nnIt’s pretty small, the chairs are a bit high so it was kind of awkward at first, but that’s just small details.nnThe staff were so kind and warm, I loved their energy! My friend got the salad while I got the pizza. The pizza was a bit too oily and it dribbles down as you try to eat it, so it can get messier than you’d like. But you get a side of some kind of chilli on the side so that’s a bonus!nnI LOVED the crust. It was genuinely thin crust, crispy, airy and chewy. I think they do bread pretty well based on that- I’ll definitely be back to get some! :nnThank you for having me!

My wife and I just had a mind blowing Lemon Olive Oil Cake. Shout out the crew who recommended this delicious cake to us. We were hoping it would last couple of days but a quarter portion is already gone while on the walk way back home . This place definitely has the most irreristible sourdough bread in Toronto. I used to come here in 2022 to pick Sourdough bread for my chef.

Popped in to try their lemon olive oilncake but disappointed that they weren’t ready til later in the day : But that’s ok because I sat and tried their mortadella sandwich on housemade focaccia and salads. The most pillowy soft bread, slight chew with fresh mozzerella and mortadella. Simple no fuss perfection! I hate messy sandwiches that end up all over you hands, face and plate. The generous-sized salads were very fresh and enough to share. This was for breakfast! I also was able to pick up items from their bakery area to enjoy at home: day old focaccia is still fluffy and fresh like it was baked today, plus their famous sour dough wood-fired loaf gorgeous full-bodied flavour with fluff, dense, crisp texture, and bomboloni! I chose lemon and pastry cream… lemon being my favourite! Full of sweet, tart, lemony curd. Will be back for pizza and olive cake next time! Our server was very kind and helpful and made us feel at home.

A cute little Italian restaurant in the Junction with soft, pillowy, and delicious sourdough sandwiches.nnI ordered the S. Carlino $19 panini, which had amazing roast beef, caramelized onions, pickles, dijonnaise, and arugula. The ingredients created a very rich and sweet flavour maybe on the sweeter side for some, a true flavour explosion.nnThe sourdough was incredibly fresh and soft, and the sandwich reminded me of those sandwiches that you'd pack to school as a kid, but 1000x better.nnThe service was incredible and there's a cute little shop inside as well!nnIt's a bit on the pricier side, but I'd highly recommend giving this place a try if you want to treat yourself.

*update* went back for the mortadella sandwich and it was surreal. Made on fresh, pillowy focaccia with perfectly thinly sliced mortadella, layered 8 deep. Massive portion, ate half, took rest home. The server was very thoughtful and offered pepperoncini sauce to go with. Delicious and such an enjoyable sandwich and service was great. I bought a focaccia to go too*nSourdough bread is fantastic. Go early in the day because they do sell out.. The round seeded sourdough had good heft and weight, a 2pounder for sure. The bread is best cut into thick slices slathered with butter, lol.nI will def go back for a meal because if the bread is this good, you know the sandwiches will be amazing. Excellent customer service from Emily. Thank you!
