    The bread for the sandwich was very good toasted. My friend also ordered the truffle aioli French fries which were so crispy and mushy on the inside it was a great combo that I would recommend. The overall cafe was very cute design that was aesthetic. The service was very chill and nice and I would definitely visit again!

    Cute little cafe near the hotel I stayed which felt like I was in Europe. I ordered an iced cappuccino since it was so hot that day and the staff were nice to make it iced even though they didn't really offer on the menu and it was the fix I needed. My family and I shared the charcutterie sandwich and chicken salad which were really good and the bread was fresh. I'd say you get what you pay for good quality and it's worth to stop by!

    Wow what can I say this spot is worth all of the hype. There's something special about a good sandwich, the sandwich that has the perfect cheese pull or perfect crispy bread. We'll lucky for you Parma Cafe has it all. When you walk in your immediately greeted by the friendly owner who will take there time to let you choose any of their amazing pastry's salads or sandwiches. And if that was enough the coffee here is amazing too! I had to order a little bit of everything because I was scared of missing out. I started with the aranchini which came out hot and once I dipped them in that Marinara sauce I was sold. Just when I thought it couldn't get better the sandwiches role out and my eyes might have almost shed a tear. They looked fantastic, and they tasted even better you can't go wrong witch these I promise ! Next time your in the neighbourhood do your belly a favour and come eat here !!

    Chicken sandwich

    I've only had their chicken sandwich but it was delicious. I recommend getting the extra cheese. I don't know why I never visited this place before to study while I was at Concordia but oh well. Totally recommend to go grab a bite with friends and then staying to finish up some papers or just to chat. Seating is quite limited so plan accordingly.

    Really great place for a quick casual bite to eat ! Casual , clean and airy decor with some seating space inside. Service was friendly/quick and the prices were reasonable , especially for the generous portion size. I had the charcuterie sandwich and an iced coffee and my boyfriend had the chicken sandwich ,we shared a side of fries. The iced coffee was really nice - great flavor and not too sweet. The fries really hit the spot nice and crispy on the outside, well seasoned and they come with a side of garlic mayo :) The sandwiches were so big and so good, the bread was so fresh ! The charcuterie sandwich was fresh tasting and really generous on the cold cuts - I forgot to add spicy marinated vegetables to it though which would have made it even better. The chicken sandwich was also excellent (you KNOW I stole a bite from my boyfriends plate....ok , maybe a few bites lol). The grilled chicken wasnt dry at all ,well cooked and well seasoned , overall la very tasty sandwich - both were solid choices. Definitely looking forward to coming back here again!

    November 2017- Margarita pizza
    Amber H.

    What a delicious surprise ! I had no idea this place even existed until tonight, it was one of the best pizzas I ever had. Picture side walk pizza but 10 times fluffier and way juicier! The margarita pizza was awesome, it comes pre sliced in squares and each slice has a piece of bocconcini on it. The tomato sauce they use has to be made there because it's so juicy and sweet that I refuse to believe it's store bought. The bread is very fluffy and is made just right. Meat balls were good as well I'm pretty sure it was made with veal. They gave a few slices of bread also for the meatballs, I was to stuffed to test it but it did look home made as well. Only thing I would recommend is adding spices on top but other then that I would recommend to try it with friends because it's a thick yummy pie :)

    Caprese salad and ice coffee

    Great place to eat + chill/work, young and friendly staff on a Sunday afternoon, great service Asked for recs, wi-fi, and water (smooth & prompt) Decent ice coffee (milk was rich which is nice) Great Chicken Cutlet Panini: fresh crispy bread + ingredients, cutlet a bit too thin for my taste Overall 5 stars and amazing if it wasn't for the hefty prices that can easily add up for a full experience (30$ for sandwich + coffee + salad) Will come at least once a month!

    Lovedddd Parma Café! I met up with my brother during lunch time and right away knew I would love this place when I stepped inside. Love the concept and speed of the service. The food is great and the coffee too! I ordered the pizza with fresh tomatoes, pesto and mozzarella. So fresh and the dough was thick and just the right amount of crisp. Also had to tried the Parma Cappuccino! - with chocolate liquor. So good! I will absolutely be back.

    Arancini

    Went with their "charcuterie" panini and arancini balls. I enjoyed both! The panini bread was fresh and fluffy and the cold cuts were tasty. I really liked the arancini balls as well all was washed it down with Brio. Parma cafe is big and spacious and you can study here. With the nearby universities I can see this being a popular hangout space! Service was nice and quick and overall it was a very positive experience. Minus one star however for not having any protection from the elements. Sitting anywhere near the doors in winter was an issue for us with the amount of times it opened and closed. I truly recommend administration to install either a secondary door to prevent the cold elements bother their patrons or at the very least some thick curtains. Another note is that I found pricing either really good such as the 3 small arancini balls for $3 or not so much with the $10 panini with no side option. That puts it a bit on the expensive side. Also the cappuccino is $3.50 which puts it a bit on the expensive side as well considering it's $2.50 or $3 in most parts of little Italy. I guess rent is high in this pretty location. Overall, I'd come back. I want to check out their chicken cutlet panini and try other stuff on their menu!

    I was super excited to try this place, so I ordered a bit of everything. They had told me my order would take 15 minutes and I ended waiting over 40 minutes at lunch time just to get my food! Margherita pizza: Very doughy and heavy, almost raw. Sauce is very sweet and tastes like it is straight from a jar. I am sorry but I can't understand how anyone's can enjoy this. Tortellini Rosé: This dish was ok, but again, the sauce tasted too sweet. Arancini: Tasty and crunchy, but they are not stuffed, so it's just rice. So I wouldn't call these arancini, but rather suppli. Steak panini: It was good, with onions and mushrooms. Vegetarian panini: Excellent mix of various veggies, including sautéed rapini and red peppers. The only thing I would reorder if I were to return. Chocolate chip and Nutella cookie: I wasn't able to eat it... all I could taste was baking soda. My friend tried it and had to spit it out. I am pretty sure we got a bad batch. The prices are ok considering this is a downtown location. I feel like they are popular because the place is trendy and the only one of its kind serving light Italian fair downtown. Unfortunately, the attention they are getting is not due to the food which is mediocre at best.

    The service was nice, a beautiful little restaurant but I wasn't terribly impressed with the food. My friend ordered the tortellini and she LOVED it! I had the gnocchi and something was definitely missing from the sauce. They have free WiFi which was nice and it's right off the Market so a prime location.

    This small little coffee shop was located right around the corner from our hotel. It's a small and…read morecozy shop with just a few tables inside. It can get busy and the lines form out the door, but the pastries and coffee are worth it. We ordered the chocolate and pistachio filled croissants and donuts. I would rate both chocolate and pistachio filled croissants a 9/10 and the donut versions of each a 7/10. I felt the croissants tasted better and had more filling. We ordered the Remix which is authentic freddo expresso, cafe crema soft serve and topped off with hot frothed milk and chocolate. This was a 10/10 and was every bit of amazing as it looks in the picture. Service was fast and friendly. One note, they don't have flavored coffees, so I couldn't order a caramel latte, for example. Overall, great coffee shop that we enjoyed every day during our stay.

We ordered a hot chocolate, cappuccino, tiramisu, and an affogato, and every single item exceeded expectations. The hot chocolate was rich, smooth, and indulgent without being overly sweet -- pure comfort in a cup. The cappuccino was perfectly brewed with bold espresso flavor and beautifully textured milk, exactly how a great Italian-style coffee should be. The highlight of our visit, without question, was the affogato. It was hands down the best I've ever had. The pistachio gelato was unbelievably creamy, nutty, and flavorful, and when paired with the hot espresso, it created an unforgettable balance of temperature and taste. It was truly out of this world and worth the visit on its own. To finish, the tiramisu was light, perfectly layered, and not overpowering -- a flawless end to an already incredible experience. Everything tasted fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and authentic. Café Olimpico isn't just a café -- it's an experience. Exceptional quality, consistency, and passion in every cup and dessert. Highly recommended, and absolutely a place we'll keep coming back to.
