Since 2004, La Tratt has been a cornerstone for Italian cuisine in Montreal’s West Island. What began as a deli by founders Mario Teti and Enrico Parziale has blossomed into a beloved spot blending old-school charm with modern touches. Beyond its cozy deli vibes, La Tratt’s shelves are a treasure trove of Italian essentials: fine cheeses, imported delicacies, homemade sauces, and desserts that demand attention—especially their cannoli, often declared the best in town. The addition of a wood-fired pizza oven in 2021 has elevated its offerings, serving perfectly crisp Margheritas and other fresh pies.
