Di Rienzo's Grocery

Was recommended this place to come pick up sandwiches when we had the Ontario volleyball championships here a few weeks ago. Definitely a recommend and a must when visiting Ottawa. Can see why this is probably the number one sandwich spot in Ottawa. The meat is fresh and they sandwiches are loaded. It’s also a big bang for your buck. Very great value at $10 taxes in for any sandwich on the menu. And when i was carrying the bag, can i just say, these were heavy little guys too! They also take online orders so you can have it ready to be picked up when you go. Oh, also the cannolis. One of the best I’ve had in awhile. And do t get one, you’re gonna regret not getting a second one. Service was decent and you might be skeptical when you first walk in as it looks like an old school convenience store. But everyone was so impressed with the sandwich. The coaches even asked to have it a second time around for the second day. Parking is tough if there’s a lot of people. There’s a small parking lot but looks like many people also park on the street to make a quick stop to pick up and go. So highly recommend placing your orders online. Also got a veal sandwich which was great but i believe the sandwich is the star of the show here. Great job overall!

Overall experience was too dramatic. There was a hair in my cannoli. I ordered a sandwich and asked the worker if they had cream cheese or pesto to put as a base on my sandwich, and the female youngish chubby worker responded in a disgusting manner, and later mocked me out loud to her coworker while she was making my sandwich. However, the young cashier and the male workers were absolutely kind and provided great customer service. Place gives a rustic italian deli vibe, a bit crammed, unorganized, but honestly the sandwiches were absolutely delicous, especially for the price point. All things considered, I definitely recommend you to try this place out though!

A classic must visit any time. If I'm in the area and have the appetite to finish one, the sandwiches are and have always been fantastic. Pleasant staff, always happy to see you back, no matter how long it's been. Great spot to fill you up!

Love to come here. Stopped in this Sunday, the best customer service you could get. Owner was there walking around chatting with customers, two employees tackling the sandwhiches and a very friendly cashier. The food was fresh and delicious as always, highly recommend trying here ! 5 stars all around

An undeniable classic. Di Rienzo’s is unabashedly itself and maintains the same standard of quality and service after all these years. The owner is gregarious and incredibly hospitable; he gave us some free cannoli and chatted us up for a while. The vibe is reminiscent of a New York bodega. Come for the sandwiches and eat ‘em same day. They’ve recently started raising their prices after decades of keeping them steady. This is understandable given rising food costs. Still, at about $9 a sandwich, you’re laughing. Great deal. Get the #16 with everything on it, mayo and mustard and extra pickled eggplant.

Their sandwiches are gigantic! (Forgot to take a photo 🤦‍♂️) Easily 2 meals for me. The staff are super kind too. Definitely adding Di Rienzo's to my rotation.

I love everything about this place. The very first time I walked in, I saw the receptionist helping an old lady find every last thing on her grocery list. She showed her around and walked her over for everything on her grocery list. Every single staff member is chill as hell and the sandwiches are beyond amazing. They’re 10 bucks and are absolutely massive and so damn good. The place seems like it’s run by a family, or at the very least a community. Absolutely nothing can be improved, this place is amazing. Very solid case for best sandwiches in Ottawa. Absolutely love this place

Quick, delicious, and amazing value. Had a focaccia, a sandwich, and cannoli and all were incredible. Sandwich could easily feed two adults. Bread is good, meats and cheeses are high quality. Can't wait to come back. Rating is high, but should be even higher.
