Dante’s Inferno Paninoteca

A welcome new neighbourhood joint I plan on going back to over and over again. The pizza was great, and I’d argue the sandwiches were better.
The pizza crust was light and chewy, and solid enough to stand up to the toppings. The sauce was bright and flavourful, just enough cheese, and delicious pepperoni. Best pizza I’ve had in a long time.
The sandwiches were on fresh crusty panini, with plenty of saucy toppings — the arugula and mushrooms in the pork belly were the perfect earthy, tangy balance to the sweet fatty pork.
Highly recommended! You want to go to here! Perfect place for dinner takeout on the way home!

A new addition to the neighbourhood that’s already a mainstay.
We’ve been here a few times, and keep coming back. The pork belly panini («Belly of the Beast» hits the right balance of rich and flavourful. Among my family we’ve also enjoyed the pork cutlet («Fordius Maximus») and meatball panini («Mascheroni’s Polpettoni») — my kid was astounded by the size of the meatballs! Can’t stop talking about it. He is also a fan of the pepperoni pizza slice (which is prized similarly to other slice places — $ 3-​something) and we’ve also enjoyed an off-​menu item, pizza with cheese and bacon, which is actually their marinated pork belly from the «beast» panini, and is so good. Last night I tried the «Estasi» pizza with prosciutto, arugula, and fig, and it was really lovely.
Not much room to eat in, just seats at the counter, but it is a nice atmosphere with cozy lighting, old black-​and-​white movies on the tv, and posters featuring Marcello Mastroianni. The people are friendly and welcoming, and there’s already a fairly steady stream of regular customers. The «clever» menu names and «ten commandments» are a bit silly, but worth ignoring for delicious food.

An upscale Italian sandwich and pizza spot.
I sampled the sausage sandwich and the pork belly. Both tasted homemade… by someone who knows what they’re doing. Fresh ingredients, lovely mushrooms and arugula — and some of the best sandwich bread you’ll have in the city.
If you want a sloppy, disgusting deep fried «veal» sandwich, this is not the spot for you. But if you like to treat your body as a temple (as I do!) and enjoy Italian sandwiches, go check out Dante’s Inferno. It’s also clean, which is unusual for this type of establishment.
