"If only every grocery store had a sandwich counter like Di Rienzo’s. This neighborhood institution claims to offer “the best sandwiches in Ottawa” and probably deserves that title. The key is simplicity: No-nonsense Italian subs with mortadella, prosciutto, and more are slightly Canadianized (see: Havarti as one cheese of choice), and dished up at low, low prices, with a limited number of hot and more extravagant options. Younger, “creative” sandwich slingers nearby stuff bread with Doritos or pierogies, but they can’t call themselves a classic like Di Rienzo’s." - Joel Balsam, Tim Forster, Eater Staff
"This deli-grocery store near Little Italy is a favourite for bulky Italian sandwiches laden with prosciutto, soppressata, spicy capicollo, and the odd not-so-Italian filling like marbled cheese. A few baked treats like filled cannolis are on hand too." - Tim Forster
