Nice to see some representation in the area. Quaint little Italian deli with friendly service. I ordered the pannini mortadella caldo and it was great better than Italian deli I had back when visiting Toronto. Next time I will try something else from their menu good selection of hot or cold sandwiches
The Little Eggplant - small but mighty! We have ordered from them several times to bring lunch to our clients, and every single time it’s been a huge hit! Our most recent orders needed to be picked up quite early since we were driving a few hours out of the city - Fil said no problem. He was happy to accommodate. The food is absolutely delicious, and the owner is incredible. Seriously, support this local gem — you will not be disappointed!
Delicious sandwiches with house made schiacciata, definitely reminds me of the sandwiches I’ve had in Italy. Very friendly owner! Offered us a treat too while we waited. Would absolutely love additional sandwich options down the line (favourites from Italy had porchetta or mushroom cream). Will be back again.
Fil was excellent to work with. We ordered an assortment of mini Paninis for our baby shower and they were a massive hit. People were messaging my wife and I the next day asking if we had any extras they could pick up. I would highly recommend using The Little Eggplant for special events and I plan to use them again in the future. Great quality, and great service.
A cute little taste of Italy! The best place for lunch with the most homely service I've ever had! Authentic soup, sandwich and soda for a great price. Go see why I give The Little Eggplant such a big heart today!
