"I consider the Jarry Street café and eatery a St-Léonard icon that has been operating since 1971 and was founded by Matteo Paranzino; after nearly 50 years it is now preparing its first expansion led by his son Marco Paranzino alongside partners Frank Barreca, Donato Ladogana, and Chris Guerrera. The original location remains open 24 hours and is known for Italian-style espresso and a menu of sandwiches, salads, and desserts — specifically steak, capicollo, meatball, and sausage sandwiches, plus sweets such as filled cannoli, biscotti, and lobster tails." - Tim Forster
