    Smoked meat dinner
    Anthony C.

    I wanted to check ou this place for a while. Not the most convenient hours of operation with Mon & Friday 9-3pm, Tues-Thursday 9-6pm, Saturday closed ad Sunday 9-3pm. I managed to make it there on a Sunday. I heard good things about this place and wanted to check it out for myself. Wolfies was small and quaint inside and wasn't very busy.when i went there on 2pm on Sunday. I ordered the special which came with smoked meat sandwich (could also get pastrami or corned beef), cole slaw (could also get potato salad) and pickles. My meal came out pretty quickly which was nice. The smoked meat sandwich was very tender and juicy like a good smoked meat should be. I think it was pretty comprible to Centre Street Deli. At $17.00 I think it was slightly pricey and it didn't come with fries which a miss. You could order fries for an addional $2.00. Overall it was a delicious sandwich and would definately come back if I am i the modd for a smaoke meat sandwich. Perhaps next time i would just get the sanwich and not get the special.

    Easily the best deli in the city. I haven't been to Wolfies in awhile since I loved away from the area. Stopped by and I'm happy to report it's just as good as it's always been. A neighbourhood staple for decades, they serve all kinds of deli. My favourites have always been the corned beef (perfect level of tangy saltiness) and smoked meat (Montreal level delicious). On the side, I love the huge pickles and chunky potato salad. The secret star of all though is the spicy mustard - put that on anything and it becomes a ten times tastier!

    Absolutely a must visit in Toronto! The owners are amazing and very helpful! We had a large party and they made room for us even moving some reserved seats so we could all sit together. The smoked meat sandwich is absolutely amazing!

    Best sandwiches in town. Whether you like Montréal smoked meat, pastrami, corned beef or turkey, you can't beat the taste. The sandwiches are massive, great value, one of Toronto's hidden treasures. Today I enjoyed the smoked meat and turkey combo.

    There are not a lot of quality old-school delis left and there are fewer still every year. So, if you have never been to a classic deli, stop whatever you are doing and go right now. Wolfie's is a classic in every sense of the word. They have been making smoked meat sandwiches for over 40 years. The restaurant feels like a Coca-Cola collectors' convention. Every inch of the dining area is adorned with Coke memorabilia. Posters, tables, flags, old merchandise, bottles, banners, you name it. The Coca-Cola theme makes it feel like the restaurant hasn't changed much since it opened, with only a flat screen TV on the wall giving away that we are not in the 1970s. Like most delis, Wolifes has a number of things on the menu but is best known for its brisket sandwiches. I ordered a smoked meat sandwich with fries, coleslaw, and a dill pickle. The sandwich was delicious. You get (what seems like) a pound of meat with house-made spicy mustard between two thin slices of soft fresh rye bread. The sandwich is fresh, flavorful and incredibly filling. The fries are exactly as you would expect them at a dinner, and the coleslaw is crunchy and fresh. The dill pickle is also very tasty if you like your pickles soft (as opposed to crunchy). The drink of choice at Wolife's is (you guessed it) Coca-Cola. There is a number of fridges full of glass bottles of Coca-Cola beverages. These are bottled in Mexico (where they use sugar cane instead of corn syrup). I'm not a big fan of coke so I didn't try it myself. But it seems like the sort of information that would matter to a great number of foodies. Overall, Wolfie's makes for a great lunch and a fun nostalgic experience.

    Fatty Corned Beef...soooooo good.

    The best deli!!!! Thinly shaved, juicy, corned beef with soft 'gummy' bread and mustard. Sides of creamy potato salad perfectly seasoned, and vinaigrette coleslaw make the perfect balance. Pickles and Stuart's Cherry Cola on the side make the meal complete. I cannot wait to return.

    Corned beef, coleslaw & a pickle. Keeping it simple.

    I enjoy a good deli sandwich from an actual deli... Naw , Naw. Not talking about getting one from the deli counter at the supermarket or a "smoked meat sandwich" at a chain restaurant. You don't go to taco bell for Mexican... You don't go to manchu wok for Chinese... You don't go to pizza pizza for Italian... I'm talking a good corned beef or pastrami or whatever smoked meat type of sang-wich... Wolfies is the go-to spot for the simple style of deli sandwich that isn't as common as it should be in our fair city. ** Bonus points for the nostalgic Coca Cola merchandise **

    Smoked Meat on Onion Bun

    Been a long time since I have been here. Took my daughter. We both had the Smoked meat on fresh onion buns. Was delicious. Staff were great!

    After having it bookmarked on my list of places to eat for months, I finally made my way over to Wolfies Deli for their Smoked Meat Sandwich and it did not disappoint. Located in a small unassuming strip plaza, this place is easy to miss but after taking a bite out of their sky high meat sandwiches, never again will I pass by the area without thinking of this Jewish deli. The Corned Beef, Pastrami and Smoked Meal sandwiches are all priced at $9.96 and sandwiched between four pieces of Silverstein rye with your choice of regular, sweet or hot mustard. The difference between the meats comes down to the spices with the Corned Beef being the simplest (brined beef with no seasoning); Pastrami with a mild blend of seasoning; and the Smoked Meat brined in a mix of peppery spices. I decided to get the Smoked Meat Sandwich "special" ($12.99) which included a sandwich, coleslaw or potato salad, and pickles. The sandwich was absolutely delicious. The smoked meat was freshly sliced from brisket imported from Montreal. The flavour can only be described as meaty and juicy with a buttery soft texture. I was really impressed with the fact that even though the meat was sliced paper thin and fairly lean, I was still able to see all the juices glistening off the surface. The rye bread was soft with a chewy crust which complimented the tender meat and the mustard added a nice kick to the sandwich. Even the sides were great. The Tymek's old fashioned barrel aged dill pickles were crunchy and tart and the potato salad was creamy with a slightly sweet and tangy flavour. It is easy to see why Drake considers this unpretentious deli one of his favourite neighbourhood spots.

    La Salumeria is an old-school Italian deli located along Yonge St. near Glebe Rd E. (between…read moreEglinton and Davisville subway station). A Toronto institution since 1984, this specialty grocery store sells lots of high quality European products as well as has a large deli meat and cheese selection. They also do deli sandwiches where you order at the counter, where the sandwich is made to order. I've heard of this Italian neighbourhood gem for a while now where I finally went to try their sandwiches recently (on a Saturday!). Walking to the storefront, we almost missed the shop as the "La Salumeria" was so unassuming where the colour was fading as well. Walking inside, every inch of the store was filled with products. Reading other reviews, we made sure to pick up our bread before heading to the counter, which had a short line (about only 3 people ahead of us which was a relief since we went on a Sat around 1pm). Near the cashier there were also lots of delicious looking baked goods as well. We opted to grab a kaiser bun and an Italian bread for the house special sandwich. We also decided to get a mortabella sandwich with the ciabatta bun. At the counter, service was friendly and efficient. All the staff at the deli were working hard to serve customers, making sure that we were attended to. Carlo, the owner, was also present in the shop, helping out making sandwiches as well as recommending customers certain cheeses and answering questions. After placing our order at the counter and handing over our breads to the staffs, we waited about 5 min for our sandwiches to be made. Paying at the cashier, the shop takes cash, debit and credit. When we left, there was another staff who opened the door for us. We ate our sandwiches once we got home. The house special which consists of prosciutto, spicy salami, creamy buffalo mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, spicy peppers, fig jam, balsamic vinegar and olive oil, was delicious. The quality of the deli meats and cheese are definitely the highlight of the sandwich! The fig jam also adds a slight sweetness to the sandwich which works incredibly well with the rest of the ingredients. We also shared a mortabella sandwich which consisted of mortadella, pistachio cream, burrata, tomato and lettuce. The mortabella was good but the house special is definitely the sandwich to order! Priced at around $16 each, the portions of the sandwiches are hefty with ingredients packed inside. The ingredients itself speak for themself as they are fresh and top notch! Service was quick and efficient but friendly. Overall, a great spot for take out sandwiches and other specialty grocery store items. They also have a large selection of deli meats and cheeses as well. Definitely want to return to try the rest of their other sandwich options in the future!

I was lined to the door but thankfully with 3 people behind the counter I was done in about 25-30 minutes. Reminder to grab your bread as you line up and hand it to them to make your sandwich.

    Ariete E Toro located near Yonge St. near Keewatin Ave in Mid-town Toronto serves up high-end…read moreItalian sandwiches. Opened in Feb 2025, the sandwich shop is set to expand opening a second location near Dundas and Ossington sometime this year. They are open daily from 11am to 5pm where you can pre-order off Ambassador for pick up or opt for delivery with Ubereats. When Ariete E Toro first opened last year, I recall seeing the long lines as it became super popular. Fast forward to a year later, I finally tried Ariete E Toro recently. The storefront is on a side street off of Yonge St. where it is take out only. They do have a bench near the window/entrance of the store but usually it's utilized by people waiting for their sandwiches. In the summer though, they have a small patio in front of the shop with some tables and chairs. Menu wise, Ariete E Toro has a variety of sandwiches with ingredients that work well together. You are also able to build your own sandwich if you'd like. They also have beverages like soda and water as well. The store boasts that all their ingredients are high quality. An average price of a sandwich is around $17. I decided to pre-order 2 sandwiches for pick up. These are the two sandwiches I got: - Enzo (mortadella di bologna, pistachio pesto, stracciatella cheese, chopped pistachio, lemon and basil oil). - Rogo Rogo (prosciutto cotto, 'nduja cream, smoked provolone, caramelized onion, arugula, and brown butter vinaigrette) Entering the store to pick up my order, staff were amidst completing my sandwiches. There was already a regular there chatting with staff. Service was quick. My sandwiches were packed and I had half of each at home. The size of the sandwich was pretty big! I could only finish 3/4th of the sandwich. Both the Enzo and the Rogo Rogo were tasty but the Enzo stole the show. The moist bread with the mortadella where the pistachio pesto and hint of stracciatella cheese along with a slight crunch from the chopped pistachio made for a perfect sandwich (I do prefer the bread a bit harder and crunchier though but the texture of this one was still good). I was sharing the sandwiches with my partner and as he opened the packaging he noticed a piece of hair in the sandwich. I would have given a higher rating on Yelp but finding someone else's hair in your food is off-putting. I do hope that if I return next time (either to this location or to their new location near Ossington/Dundas) that we won't find any surprises in our food. Overall, delicious sandwiches in Midtown Toronto, however, we did find a piece of hair in our sandwiches which.... kind of makes me hesitant to return. **Update** - I wrote a review on Google where the owner personally asked me to email them to rectify the situation with the piece of hair found in my sandwich. The owner apologized and stated that he was actually the one who personally made my sandwich that day (sliced the deli meat, etc.). He also made sure that he would speak with the bread manufacturer to make sure that they were aware of the situation as it may have come from the bread as well. He also gave me a refund for one sandwich as well as a $25 credit for if I wanted to give the sandwich spot another chance (the sandwich is too good to not go back!). That is what I call great customer service - making sure that an apology was given and that customers are happy. Would happily return again for their tasty sandwiches!!

They have a few tables on the front patio, but mainly you can order for pickup or takeout and be sure your sandwich stays as fresh since it comes with a thoughtful packaging.

Both of them tasted amazing; the bread was crunchy and every bite was full of flavour. I loved the combination of black olive pesto, greens and provolone cheese in Quello Forte. As for Il Re, the combination of 3 cold cuts, Provolone Crema, roasted garlic and olive salad had created a perfect taste. Definitely worth every calorie. Lol

Starting with a base of roasted eggplant, slivers of quickly smoked pepper and raw celery & onion are mixed in, so the dip is creamy and crunchy. As a babaganoush lover, I thoroughly enjoyed this version! Without tahini the dip is lighter and brighter. Still their bababanoush ($9) is good with large chunks of eggplant and tons of tahini turning it creamy. It's just a touch sweet for me. For the carb conscious, the dips arrive without a pita ($1.50), so you won't be tempted. I wanted one with the eggplant and pepper... it's your regular run-of-the-mill thick pocketed pita. It's remarkable how much they can stuff in a pita. You'll need to unhinge your jaw to bite into lamb kefta in a pita ($18), the ground meat kebab juicy and each bite bringing different flavours. The bites with their zesty and slightly spicy amba sauce are my favourite and despite the abundance of onion, they're well soaked so the acidity is removed and a crunchy sweetness remains. Their sandwiches arrive solo but is enough to satisfy. The price for a side of French fries ($11) is a bit steep but it's a huge portion, enough to share amongst three. The beef shish kabob ($30) was a tad chewy but at least cooked well and perfectly seasoned and not overly salty. I recommend upgrading to their Greek salad ($4 supplement), a village style version containing large chunks of juicy ripe tomato, crunchy cucumber, briny creamy feta, and onions. Limon augments the salad with roasted red paper and capers adding a savoury smoky element that's delicious. If you're in the mood for beef, order the strip steak ($34) instead. It's less grizzly and you get a sizeable portion of meat cooked to your liking. With three pieces of fish arriving in the roasted rainbow trout ($30), this is a shareable main. It's well cooked with crispy skin and tender meat and simply topped with onions and pomegranate seeds. Having visited on three occasions, the sole visit the restaurant wasn't full was during a weekday lunch. And when it gets busy the ordering and paying process slows down as Limon creates a bottleneck by flowing both operations into one person, who I assume is the manager. Despite a number of workers, they seem to focus on serving, refilling water, and cleaning up. If you ask one to take an order or pay, the request gets redirected to the manager. What an odd way to slow down table turnover at a restaurant. Warning: the tightly packed tables create a loud ambient noise at the restaurant. It's a bit much at first, but as the meal progresses, I tuned it out. When the weather's nice and they open the front windows, it almost feels like you're sitting al fresco somewhere a bit more exotic than Midtown Toronto. A beautiful meal indeed.
