I was in the mood for a sandwich, so I asked a search engine where to find a good one near me, and…read moreLa p'tite epicerie was offered as a suggestion. I showed up around lunch and was initially surprised by how tiny the joint is. But the sandwich menu sure looked promising, so I ordered a couple to go and asked the guy to select the bread he thought would go best. My favorite was the #3 ("Prosciutto ham, spicy capicollo, calabrese soppressata, Havarti cheese"). It's one outstanding sandwich. All the ingredients work so well together, and the fresh bread is the perfect vehicle. The copious, delicious butter is the icing on the cake, basically. The #11 ("Roast beef, herbs Havarti, lettuce") is good too, no doubt about it. The roast beef is really flavorful and the other components are a perfect accompaniment. I can see why this joint's been around so long. It's great.

Pour commencer, le pain était extraordinaire: une croûte bien croquante et une mie très bien aérée. Les saucissons étaient exactement comme je les aime, secs et très goûteux. Les pâtisseries étaient aussi délicieuses et différentes. Le goût de framboise et le fromage somptueux étaient parfaitement équilibrés. Quant à la tarte au citron... wow. C'était fantastique. Le petit biscuit et la meringue étaient exceptionnels

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)

This sandwich is literally the reason I downloaded this app…read more I've just spent the whole winter in Quebec and am now hitchhiking across Canada and decided to stay in Ottawa a few days. I booked 4 nights at the Saintlo jail hostel and when I came downstairs after a rejuvenating nap I saw that they had a list of recommendations sitting amongst a pile of other plastic sheets. Dirienzo's - the best ITALIAN SANDWICH in the city. I'm not really an Italian sandwich sort of person normally, maybe it was contributed by the burgeoning like for cured meats that I was acquiring after eating dried salami as my only source of food for the past week or so -- but who's going to pass up the chance to try the BEST of anything? I got there after taking 2 buses and was starting to become a bit concerned. I had $40 in my account and was hitchhiking across the country -- after all it was labelled the BEST in the city and that would normally come with a hefty price tag. When I first opened the door I instantly got greeted by the guy behind the counter, which made me feel welcomed and at ease. I looked up to view the selection of sandwiches that they had on offer and potentially the cheaper ones. I was surprised to see the sign that said $10 for ANY SANDWICH!! #booyah I was finding it hard to decide on which of the sandwiches to get since they all looked so appetising, but decided on number 16. The sandwich was massive for the price that it was. The bread was a perfect mix between durable so that it wouldn't fall apart in your hands, but soft enough that it was enjoyable, with the amount of bread contemplating he rest of the fillings just the right amount. I was pretty overwhelmed to be honest with how good it was. All of the ingredients including the lettuce (which I've found is usually the first thing places will skimp out on) were extremely fresh. I put in my coworker groupchat: "Anyone coming over across Canada after the season has to make a stop in Ottawa if they aren't already just to try one of these." Accompanied by a photo of my eyes watering with glee. My Nonna is always telling me how I need to learn Italian to be more connected to our culture and I've always just kindof brushed it off since I haven't needed to use it and we don't speak it much at home, but this has made me so proud to be Italian. As I continued to eat the sandwich sitting on a bench looking towards the city and the people playing basketball in the park, I found myself contemplating staying in Canada and raising my kids here in Ottawa so that they get to experience it themselves on a warm summer afternoon after picking them up from school.

My husband and I went here for some gelato/ice cream and it was fantastic!…read more I got a small gelato ($5 taxes included) and I was thrilled that I was able to pick 2 flavours. I got mango and pistachio. I liked that they put the flavours side by side and not on top of each other. They also really filled up the cup so the portion size was excellent. The mango flavour was really potent, which I loved. The pistachio flavour was rich and nutty, which I also loved. They didn't have too many flavours, but a good mix of fruity and chocolate/caramel/etc. I would definitely get gelato here again. My husband got a soft serve ice cream dipped in S'mores. Omg! The S'mores dip was so good. It was chocolatey and had mini dehydrated marshmallows in it. My husband ordered a large ($5 taxes included), but I think they gave him a small because it looked small and they only charged him for a small ($4 taxes included). That's ok, we should be moderating our intake of sweets anyway, lol. The ice cream was rich and creamy. The dips are an extra $1, so you can get soft serve without dips too ($3 for a small and $4 for a large, inclusive of taxes). Service was friendly. We went during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Staff were wearing masks, physical distancing rules were in place, and there was hand sanitizer by the entrance. There are picnic tables and patio tables out front. Free parking in the private parking lot.
