In Lasalle, Marchigiani isn’t just a butcher shop—it’s a slice of Italian soul served between crusty ciabatta. A neighbourhood institution since 1959, this family-run gem specializes in imported Italian products, perfectly seasoned meats, and sandwiches that demand your full attention. The porchetta sandwich is the undisputed star: tender, herb-crusted pork layered with marinated eggplant and a touch of heat, cradled in pillowy bread that crunches just enough.
The menu goes beyond sandwiches, offering daily hot dishes like osso buco, lasagna, and roasted sausage, all prepared with the comforting precision of a nonna’s kitchen. For a quick fix, grab an espresso or one of their rare Italian sodas from the grocery section.
Marchigiani’s old-world charm meets modern hustle, making it the perfect spot for everything from a midweek lunch to stocking your pantry with pasta and olive oil.
