I've been coming to Canada every year for longer than I can remember, and it's always a necessity…read morethat I stop here for what is likely the best sandwich you can get anywhere in the country. Di Rienzo's is a small deli tucked away in Ottawa's little Italy neighborhood but trust me it's no secret. There's always a line of the well informed, salivating with a grin as they wait (not long mind you, they move fast). The smell here is your first clue that your in for somethings delicious, if you weren't hungry when you arrived you will be once the aroma hits your nostrils. They have a selection of Italian pre-packaged products and various snacks, as well as cold drinks to complete your meal. That said, this joint is all about the sandwiches. They'll make whatever combo of meats, cheese, and toppings you want but if your unsure just pick one of the options on the board. I almost always get the #14. It's all the delicious Italian meats you could want plus havarti, lettuce, and mayo (exchange the regular havarti for the herbed havarti if you'd like). The bread is amazing quality as well. You really can't go wrong here. They have some sandwiches in a case ready to go as well, such as the steak which I hear is amazing. The staff here couldn't be more friendly and accommodating which is no small feat for a place this busy. There are no tables so it's takeout only and It IS cash only however they have an ATM for the unprepared. Oh, lest I forget, this amazing and quality sandwich is less than 10 bucks! This spot is a real gem and if you find yourself nearby you absolutely have to try it out.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Deli serving up loaded sandwiches…read morein Hintonburg. A bit pricey, but tasty. The Long Version: District Deli opened up around March 2025 in the space that was Bismallah Pies (was Charlie's Groceteria before that). My husband and I dropped by to pick up a sandwich to share. The sandwiches are all named after nearby streets, which really gives it that neighbourhood feel. All meat sandwiches are $13.99 and vegetarian sandwiches are $12.49. You can also build your own for $13.99 where you can choose 2 meats, one cheese, and whatever vegetables you like. We went with the build your own option. We got roast beef and prosciutto cotto, fresh mozzarella and lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled onions, pickled eggplants, and roasted red peppers, with a bit of honey mustard. The sandwich was really good. The bread was fresh, as were the other ingredients. It was a bit pricey in my opinion, but this is in comparison to other similar sandwich shops with $8-10 sandwiches (like 50 Two Sandwiches or Shorty's Sandwiches), but they are in industrial parts of town, so I get it, rent in Hintonburg is higher. District Deli only has cold sandwiches. No hot sandwiches, at least not at the time of the writing of this review. Service was courteous and efficient. Street parking only. Review #118 (2025)

I had a wonderful lunch here with a friend of mine. We sat on the patio and it was lovely…read more I got the Nashville Chicken Sandwich with fries ($20). It wasn't too spicy. I would say on the milder side of medium. The chicken was a lean chicken breast that was battered and deep-fried. The cabbage added a nice crunch to the sandwich. I felt the pickles were a bit too thickly sliced, but I still enjoyed them. There was too much mayo for my tastes. I should have asked them to go easy on the mayo. The bun was fresh. I appreciated that it was plain and had no pesky seeds. The sandwich was fairly large. The fries were crispy and very tasty. I like that they were fresh cut fries and not from frozen. My friend got the Southwest Chicken Salad, which comes with avocado. However, she doesn't like avocados and asked me if I did. Oh I love avocados! So she asked to have the avocado on the side and kindly gave it to me. It was half an avocado, sliced, and served in a ramekin. It was perfectly ripe and not blemished at all. Service was attentive but not intrusive. My friend and I hadn't seen each other for a long time so we had a lot of catching up to do and our server definitely gave us the time and space. He was also knowledgeable about the menu, which I appreciated, since I had a few questions. We ate on the patio. The patio overlooks the parking lot, but the lot is not busy, so the ambiance is not bad. They have a few tables under umbrellas if you prefer shade and some without umbrellas if you prefer sun. Lots of free parking in the plaza parking lot.

Got the 8oz mmmm bacon cheeseburger, kicken chicken and a poutine and wow what amazing flavors…read more The sauces and slaw on the chicken were so full of flavor and just drippin with sauce, loved it. The burger was on point with the large patty, delicious bacon and a great spicing to the beef, it just melted in my mouth. Poutine was everything i expected, could use more cheese but thats a personal preference. The fries were awesome small cut and the sauce was full of flavor and def not the avg flat tasting poutine. Will def be going back for the great food and amazing staff.

Meatheads Grill opened up about 3 months ago (December 2019) and is already super popular. I can…read moresee why because the food was great. So Meatheads is inside the Quickie Mart on Watters. So just look for the Quickie and once you're inside you'll see the Meatheads in the corners. It's takeout only. Nowhere to sit and eat. Although they do have a couch to sit and wait. And wait you will, it took us over 30 minutes for our food. Lots of people phoned in their order or came in to order and left and came back. We just waited there, but we might phone in our order next time. I got the Kickin' Chicken Sandwich ($10) and made it a combo with fries and a can of pop (+$2). My mom got the Orleans Cheese Steak Sandwich ($15) and made it a combo with a poutine and a can of pop (+$4). My chicken sandwich was delicious. It was 2 pieces of breaded chicken tenders tossed in a spicy sauce on a bed of coleslaw, in a brioche bun. The menu said it comes with lettuce and tomatoes, but for some reason my sandwich was missing these ingredients. It was still really tasty, but I would have liked the extra vegetables. My fries overall were good, but some fries were kind of dry and hard. I enjoyed my mom's poutine a lot more because the cheese and gravy made the hard fries softer. Although the gravy tasted a bit fattier than I like, lol. I also had some of my mom's cheese steak and it was good too. It had cheese, mushrooms, onions, and pickles, in addition to the thinly sliced steak mixed in BBQ sauce. The bread was a bit like a baguette in density, which I liked because it didn't get soggy. I like how the containers were made of cardboard and are biodegradable. No styrofoam, yay! Service was friendly. The owner chatted with us a little. He is looking at opening a restaurant, as they are very busy and have pretty much outgrown their set up inside of the Quickie. His fiancee taking our orders was nice as well. Looking forward to trying their other items. They have specials not on their regular menu sometimes too. On the day we went it was fish and chips. Lots of free parking in the Quickie parking lot.
