Dante Italian Sandwich

actually found Dante Sandwich through a Vancouver podcast called Battle Royale with Cheese – they were raving about it, so I decided to check it out one afternoon. I got there around 11:45, just before the lunch rush, and managed to grab a seat. Service was good, and I could see the line steadily growing while I waited for my order. I went for the veggie sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. The cheese was spot on, everything tasted super fresh, and the bread (which was a new type for me) was incredible which I knew to expect it thanks to the podcast, but it still impressed me. It paired perfectly with the Diet Coke I had. Honestly, this might be one of the best Italian sandwiches I’ve had in Vancouver, maybe anywhere. I’ll definitely be back to try some of their other options. Highly recommend!

I got the Inferno for ToGo and didn’t wait that long for my order. Paid $20+ tips .. the price was decent for a downtown location.. Food is okay for me .. Atmosphere is clean and music is cute …

Ran in here at 1230 on a Friday and was out with an Italiana sandwich in less than ten minutes. Great sandwich! Excellent bread and the flavors are delicious. Definitely recommend it for a snack or meal! It was so good we came back the next day.

Dante Taya Restaurant is known for its Italian sliced meat sandwiches. I ordered the mortadella, and my sister had the eggplant. The bread was fresh, but I found my sandwich could have used more meat to really stand out. They offer a wide variety of sliced meat options, and the place has a friendly vibe with an outdoor balcony facing the library. Overall, it wasn’t a very memorable experience.

I rarely go downtown but I did today to meet an old faithful for lunch. He swears by this place on Robson right across the street from the Library. There was already a small cue but it moved fast. Menus were straight and direct just like the service. Not a lot of seating but I think a lot of people took it to go. The sandwiches were good portioned for the price. The foccacia bread was toasted and salted to perfection and the meats were generous. I loved the ricotta like cheese in mine and it felt authentic. The Italian owner was on site spearheading the lunch rush which was nice and homey. I would like to come back and try out the other options.

I have been quite a fan of these Tuscan sandwiches lately. It is such a refreshing sight to see one shop in Vancouver. The shop took over a spot that was my mailbox place I was a customer of the last 20+ years lol. That was bitter sweet. Now the sandwich. Italiana. The prosciutto crudo and cotto provided a balance of taste between the 2 cured meat protein. I was not a fan of the cream cheese flavor. There was a slight hint of tartness reminding me of a grocery mayo flavor. The sandwich was not too bad, but I was just not that impressed overall. I have had better mind blowing ones before. I will try the other variety as I go..

Wasn’t bad but think I need to lower my expectations after reading these reviews. It’s a decent sandwich but feels like 50% sauce 25% meat and 25% lettuce. They definitely aren’t as generous with toppings like other sandwich shops. Good to try once. Nice seating indoors and outside, although it’s cramped inside so if it’s busy then people will be lining up next to you as you’re eating. Price is definitely high up there but given because of the location. Taste wise it was very salty. Friendly and quick service. Loved how they cut it in half and served it! PS was told their most popular is Mortazza or Inferno. Pictured here is inferno.

Super pleasantly surprised by their tiramisu. Creamy and soaked with real coffee, it was a delight to eat. And for a quick grab dessert I'm very very happy with it. Their sandwich is so darn good. Even their vegetarian option doesn't miss. It's a must try, and get anything off the menu and you won't be disappointed.
