The Italian Pantry

The Italian Pantry on Monkland is a fantastic little specialty Italian food store replete with stuff to bring home to use for your own culinary creations, or pre-cooked meals and desserts to pick up when you are in a pinch and still want to eat delicious food. It isn't an exaggeration to say everything I have tasted there is yum-yyy! Their cannoli and zeppole are the best I have EVER tasted (and I have tasted many, both homemade and from high-end Italian establishments), these seriously rocked!!!

There isn't much on their website, but it will help you find the place, which is always an important first step :)

It is run by two Italian brothers, who are both friendly and helpful. The stores (they own two side by side, one is like a grocery store and the other is a coffee dessert place) are immaculate, and so quaintly picturesque you could imagine they were actually in Italy. Fantastic.

Definitely worth a visit, and promise me you won't pass up on savouring the desserts!

Ciao.
