Meat & Bread, oh wow was it quite literal…read more My friend and I were greeted by hearty welcomes and the sound of knife slicing pork. We ordered their Porchetta and Meatball sandwiches and were impressed with their speed - out within three minutes! We were crunched on time, so we did a takeaway, but we actually had time to sit and enjoy the restaurant. My favorite part was feeling that we were in a log cabin, transported almost 200 years before present day to the Midwest. Most impressive was how good each tasted. For starters, I have a huge dislike for pork, yet I really enjoyed their Porchetta with crackling, crispy pork skin (?). Their meatballs had a consistent texture, appropriately crumbly - and the flavors all worked well together. Not too salty, not too sweet - everything balanced. It's rare to find a spot like this, and I can't wait to return!

There are some small tables for two along with high tables. I ordered the 'hot' sandwich, chicken parm. I was expecting crispy chicken parm with yummy cheese and rich tomatoe sauce. Let's be honest, the star of this show is the bread! The baguette was warm, soft and so delicious. However, that's where the excitement stopped for me. The chicken with breading was soggy and the pesto and mozzarella was such a small amount, it felt like a soggy chicken sandwich with lots of bread. If they put more pesto dressing, more mozzarella cheese and more tomatoe sauce, I could have looked past the soggy chicken. All in all, I'm glad it tried it, the bread is amazing, and I'll come back to try a 'cold' sandwich to see if the other options are better!

I have been going to this spot since they opened, not gonna lie , one of the best fast sandwiches…read morespots around. Until recently... The best part of the sandwich was the bread, they sourced it par baked from a bakery and finished it in store. it was amazing. For some reason (I expect cost) they stopped doing that and now get the bread from another of their locations. I would agree with some other reviews here, Mangia's is a bit expensive, but I and my friends were willing to pay for quality. The new bread they use is dry, tough and sub par, I tried to get used to it twice, but will not be going back. This review could have been one star but for the fact that the staff are amazing.

A great sandwich spot right across from Vancouver Public Library Central Branch downtown. Since it…read morewas our first visit, we followed the staff recommendation and ordered the Marseille ($17.75), which leaned toward a salty-sweet flavour profile. The homemade focaccia had an excellent texture, and the combination of fig jam, brie, and caramelized onions worked really well together. The crunchy fried onions and fresh arugula added extra layers of texture and balance. It's also a very generous portion, I ended up saving half for the next day. The staff were friendly, engaging, and made the experience welcoming. My only minor critique is that the sandwich could use a slightly punchier flavour profile to really make it stand out.

We walked over after getting off the Granville Island ferry at the Aquatic Centre stop. There wasn't a line, and our sandwiches came out quickly after ordering. - Reuben Sandwich -- tender meat, just the right amount of tang from the sauerkraut and cured meats, finished with their house-made mustard and a crunchy pickle on the side. - Lemon Rosemary Chicken (no cheese) -- light yet filling; the greens added freshness, avocado gave it the perfect moistness, and the light jalapeño kick tied it all together. - Garlic Bread -- buttery, garlicky, and crisp; the texture fell perfectly between a Vietnamese baguette and a ciabatta roll -- ideal snack for the walk. Overall, Number E is a charming deli serving high-quality sandwiches on their own freshly baked Tuscan bread. They also offer pastries, coffee, and other drinks. There are a few indoor and outdoor tables, but it's mainly a great grab-and-go spot. Chill ambience where you can watch the team craft your sandwiches fresh to order -- the perfect pre-ride fuel stop!

The sandwiches were nicely packaged and presented as one would expect in Japanese style. We were pretty surprised at how tiny the sandwiches were. We knew they'd be small and cute, but their media photos are very misleading. Either they employed a tiny hand model or tweaked their sandwiches to make them look more generous in size. Despite this, the sandwiches were delicious and flavourful. They were a bit cold although they had been warmed up for us. At $4.50 a piece, it's pricey for snack that's gone in a few seconds. I'm sure we could've devoured a few more. Might be back, but for only a small bite.

It looks like they do a lot of takeaway and don't have alcoholic beverages at this location. Excited to come back to try more items on the menu, and also to try their larger location on Commercial!
