Mortadella and stracciatella sandwich on schiacciata bread.

sandwich lovers, IT’S TIME TO REJOICE!

〰 〰

At Paninaro, every sandwich starts with our signature fresh-baked schiacciata—crispy, airy, and golden. Layered with premium Italian meats, cheeses, and our house-made toppings and sauces, each creation captures the bold, simple flavours of Italy.

Paninaro is more than just great food—it’s a vibe. Inspired by the iconic 1980s Italian “Paninaro” movement, we celebrate good taste, music, and style with every bite.

From our laid-back atmosphere to our attention to detail, we bring the energy of Italian street cafés to the heart of Ottawa. Whether you’re stopping in for lunch, grabbing dinner to go, or catering your next event, Paninaro is where food, culture, and community meet.
