Great place! Real italian style and quality. We are italian and, belive me, after two weeks in Canada we were attracted smelling the fragrance of the Oven of Claudio on the street. My friend Gianluigi call us and following the smell. .. we reach the paradise. 100% guaranteed by italian apecialist.
Exceptional quality and ingredients and such a labour of love. So grateful to have a taste of Italy in Victoria. Fantastic , fresh, authentic treats and savory food. Grazie!
Holy nutella cookies! And the cookie, it's actually so much better that that description, part is more like flaky pastrie heaven. Claudio, the man, was there working his magic. Wow. A couple cookies and some iced coffee and I was on cloud nine. If I lived here I'd bring the amazing bread creations to every dinner party. What masterpieces!
Lovely little shop with delicious Italian sandwiches, pizzas and baked goods. The sandwiches and pizzas are made in front of you! 3 chairs and a little table is available, but during busy times expect this to be taken!
The owner was VERY pleasant. The presentation a feast for the eyes. We sampled several breads and baked goods. Authentic Northern Italian offerings. So good! Love the location on Fan Tan too.
Wow. What a treat! Reasonably priced and so delicious. The person working that day was very kind and answered all the questions I had about their pastries. I learned a thing or two and got to try something completely different! A must have if you're in the Chinatown area =]
I have so much love for this little bakery. I come here almost every week (some weeks multiple times) for a quick sandwich to bring back to work and a sweet on the side. The owners clearly put so much love into everything they sell; the authenticity of the simple Italian sandwiches and delicious pastries make them unique in Victoria.
This little bakery is hands down amazing. A wide variety of options of traditional European pastries, as well as fresh pasta and absolutely AMAZING sandwiches. I cannot stress enough just how good they are. Worth every cent. I myself, have been a handful of times and have only tried a portion of the menu, but I look forwards to every time I am in the area. They are simple and not over powering with a huge variety of flavour, but still have an orchestra playing in your mouth. Its astonishing the flavours they can pull out using only 3-5 toppings in the sandwich. They`re even good enough to make me forget I don't like tomatoes. I cannot wait to try the entirety of the options.
Overall an amazing experience, I would highly suggest bringing your mates here.
Hidden gem. Best bread, pastry and sandwhich shop.
You can feel the passion in the air every morning, this place is full of delightful baked goods in a wide range! Every single treat is a taste of heaven. Their sandwiches put subway to shame. An amazing staff and fantastic experience, even if you only stop for tea.
Lovely little bakery. I got two items to snack on and a pizza dough. Less than $10. The panzerotti and the bread with olives were good and filling.
My family and I had a pizza making night and made a small for the little guy and a medium for the adults and my little man liked the dough the best. Can't wait to return.
Hidden gem that needs more attention. Great service and wonderful baking make it worth every visit; I often end up buying extra for a snack on the way home, especially the olive bread. I almost don't want to say my favourite item, because more people may end up buying it and they make limited amounts!
