I tried this place due to my friend's recommendation. We came for a dessert sandwich after dinner. Alright, maybe I should reword that and say I am a fatty and wanted more food after dinner and justified it by calling it dessert.

Staff: We took it to go since we had friends waiting. There was a bit of confusion as to who was taking our order since no one was at the register. The kitchen staff... more

If you're in the Bathurst and Dundas area make sure you stop by this place! The sandwiches are amazing. My wife and I split the special of the day and we're both full! We had the Sweet & Spicy Korean Fried Chicken with Kimchi, Pickles, Green Onion Mayo, Lettuce and Cilantro. It was one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had!!

After seeing Porchetta & Co on Anthony Bourdain's "The Layover" my dad and I decided that, out of all the recommendations made on that episode, this one looked the most worthwhile and promising. We went on a weekday afternoon, off-hours, at around 2:30pm.

Ambiance:
A casual and clean space, although extremely limited counter-seating with five chairs in total - you will likely have to take your... more

Oh my, I don't know where to start...their super delicious sandwiches have made me speechless. I got the classic porchetta sandwich and added some truffle mayo. It was divine! It came with cracklings and a good amount of juicy, tasty and oh so tender porchetta. Their buns were spectacular as well!

If they had more seating inside, I would have given them a 5! The store was too tiny with only a... more

Great porchetta sandwiches at a decent price. The meat was soft and flavourful and the bun was delicious. Grainy mustard and hot sauce are an almost mandatory addition to throw in some flavour. My only complaint is that the sandwich could have used a bit more crackling and the eat-in space is rather small, so it's best to get the food to go and enjoy outside if possible.

Decided to take a last minute trip to Toronto. Did a little research before of where to eat (aka watching The Layover with Anthony Bourdain). I decided I had to try this spot. I got the breakfast sandwich with extra meat and it was delicious. The egg was a a perfect addition to the saltiness of the sandwich and the bread was the perfect combination of soft, but sturdy enough to hold the... more

Special orders do not seem to compute for this extremely rude staff. I asked for a plain sandwich and received one with all the condiments, asked for them to fix it and instead of getting a new one he just wiped the condiments off and gave it back. I asked for a new bun and i was told "its just some onion" and he proceeded to stare at me as i waited for someone with more tact to intervene; not... more

Friends brought me out to this joint do I didn't know what I was walking into. We ordered 2 sandwiches which were both very good..We had to wait 15 mins for their chicken since they had just run out of it. The original signature sandwich was really good. It was my favourite out of the two as I'm not a huge fan of buffalo sauce on the chicken sandwich. The chicken was also very messy to eat. If... more

They don't need my review but shitdamn, this is a sandwich to make your eyes roll back in your head from pure pleasure. Being Eastern European on the maternal side, I have been raised with an appreciation for all meats that are roasted/smoked, being part fat-kid roasted fat so that it's crunchy is heaven. Their house sandwich is what I go for, extra cracklin' let's not kid around, and I make... more

Just freakin' delicious, everything they sell!!

Porchetta sandwich with the Cracklin is literally like crack!!

Tried the jerk fried chicken and it was amazing two thumbs up. Weird music. Good vibe tho. Nice lil spot

Came here and tried their special - Chicken parm sandwich with truffle sauce and garlic bread buns, as well as tomato arancini balls sith smoked provolone.
The arancini balls were really good, and the chunk of smoked provolone in the middle was gooey.
The sandwich was meh - I realize now that they're known for their porchetta, not the chicken. I found the bun a bit dry and hard, but it softened... more

I'm a weird guy. I don't like porchetta sandwich in any way, but I found my dining experience in Porchetta & Co. pretty pleasant.

Well, guess what... I had Korean spicy chicken sandwich. lol.

Anyways, the sandwich was outstanding and unforgettable. The chicken was perfectly fried - it was so crispy that it crisped my desire to come back for this sandwich again. The other beautiful thing about... more

Came here for lunch with a co-worker for the House Special, based on his recommendation. I was not disappointed at all. It was delicious and I will definitely come back the next time I get a porchetta craving. The sandwich is a great combination of ingredients and flavours to compliment the porchetta. I really liked the bun that they use and the mustard is so good, I wish I could put it on all... more

I've been coming to this spot for years now. The house special (porchetta, crackling, mustard, hot & truffle sauce) is consistently outstanding, definitely one of my favourite sandwiches in the city. I have to say though, there was more variety in the weekly specials a few years back. It seems like they are only doing variations on the Fried chicken sandwich every week now. This wouldn't be so... more

I love the house special sandwich. Great in the summer when you can walk to Trinity Bellwoods park and picnic with it. The truffle sauce takes it over the top and the whole mustard seeds, it's a great mixture of flavours. I want one already!

Without a doubt the best sandwich one will find in the 416. Delicious crackling, amazing porchetta, great choice of cheeses and toppings and the daily specials I think are what put this place on another level.

They understand how to make a deep fried chicken that is just decadent, and will complement it with all sorts of different accompaniments that are absolutely perfect. I am somewhat glad... more

You almost miss it riding by on Dundas, but make sure you check this tiny little sandwich shop out! Somehow the special crispy chicken sandwich out shined the signature pork one!

You need the house special in your life! We came to Porchetta and co based off a recommendation. I can't begin to tell you how amazing and flavorful the sandwich was. The pork was juicy and tender, and all of the toppings worked together beautifully. I have never had a better sandwich. We also had a side of coleslaw and rapini, both were fantastic. This is place is a must!

It's alright. If you've never had porchetta before, then it's a decent option and relatively well-located.

However, I've found quality varies quite a bit. Sometimes, I'll get that right balance of lean and fat and a good amount of crackling. Other times, it will taste fatty and limp. I don't think the bread they use here is particularly good - seems too dry. It's a shame that something so... more

I used to visit Toronto and tried and failed many times to check out this place. I finally got to it and was soooo glad I did. The porchetta sandwich with the truffle sauce was amazing! Moist and delicious with a lovely crunch from the cracklings (I could have used more of those!). The pork had just the right amount of seasoning and the bun was soft and fresh.

Mmmmmm pork....
It's three am and... more

I love the simplicity of Porchetta & Co.'s ( @PorchettaAndCo )offerings: Porchetta by the pound, on a plate or as part of their famous sandwich.

The sandwich offers 4 oz. of Porchetta and crackling (chicharron) on a bun. A handful of customizable toppings from mushrooms to rapini are available to make your sandwich your own!

The House Special consists of the suggested combination of melt in... more

Great place for a quick bite. I would recommend walking to this neighbourhood on a sunny day! I had the house special and weirdly it was almost a fusion or Italian and Asian (in a good way). Did not love the root beer sold there and it's a small place so if you plan on eating there, go on a sunny day on case you don't find a seat inside. But the sandwich is good and the guys are friendly :)... more

Got the house special: .. It's good. The bun was very fresh, crispy and moist. Over all flavour was nice. I find the hot sauce and the mustard the added over powers the taste of the whole sandwich.. As a person from vancouver.. I can't help to compare to vancouver's meat and bread's porchetta... Vancouver has more flavour.

Excellent. Their signature porchetta sandwich with parmesan and truffle is spot on. Flavour, textures, portion size, and price. Definitely need to try this and judge for yourself.

Loved this place. Watched an episode with Anthony Bourdain trying the sandwich so had to try it myself. Wasn't expecting much but wow this was an amazing sandwich. I got the recommended toppings and it was made quick.

It is a little pricey but even though it's not the biggest sandwich it's still worth the price to try. Not sure you'd go back often. Probably not a healthy choice. I would say... more

An awesome sandwich! I love porchetta sandwiches and this place is one of the better ones I've had. I got the house special and it did not disappoint. Good flavour in the meat and the bun is nice and crusty.
Would go back and try the different toppings.
Also note that if you do not feel like a porchetta sandwich, they have a daily special. When I went it was fried chicken sandwich with a mac... more

Love the sandwich at Porchetta & Co!

Porchetta and Co. is a tiny little place that cooks up Porchetta, which is a beautifully roasted boneless piece of pork that actually has their skin crisped up so beautifully. The place itself offers some other bbq items like brisket and such, but why get anything else?

The Sandwich ($7.25) is 4 oz of porchetta meat with some cracklings on top as well. You... more

The sandwich with truffle sauce and mustard is mouth watering. Was introduced to this place by a friend who said it was single handedly the best sandwich he a ever had. Surprisingly, the sandwich lives up to the hype. It's a craving I'll always have every time I'm in the neighbourhood. Have it with the bolynn soda. You won't regret it.

Mmmmm pork CRACKling! If your into juicy pork sandwiches with lots of flavour then this is your spot!

This place has limited seats (less than 10) but there's a nice bench outside to enjoy your sandwich during the summertime.

My boyfriend and I came her for their soft shell crab po boy and their traditional Porchetta sandwich. The soft shell crab Po Boy was soo crispy and light we literally... more

Love love this place - best sandwiches in the country hands down. But the service? Unbelievably bad. It's kills me because I love their stuff but they are just plain rude and either their cashiers are always hungover or just plain p@!%!d at life.

They actually make the best sandwiches and I'm here most Fridays for their Chicken Sandwich specials but I wish they would smile, be nice and or... more

Insanely good, easily the best sandwich I have ever had

Had extremely high expectations of this place - I tried the house special sandwich with pork, mustard, hot sauce and truffle. It was pretty good! I felt the meat was a bit dry, and not a 'big enough' sandwich for almost $10, but my husband absolutely raved about it, so what do I know?!
You probably won't get a seat, so be prepared to take away.
Apparently they whip up some amazing daily... more

The sandwich was fine, get the special with the truffle. The plain one is wayyy too dry. And the bread to meat ratio was off - not enough meat.

My biggest gripe was the service. We stopped in right when we got to Toronto. The cashier was not helpful and very unwelcoming. We were deciding what sandwiches to get and she was being difficult and giving us attitude for no reason. And when I went to... more

You HAVE to follow Porchetta on Instagram. Wait until they have the fried chicken, and get there as quick as you can. Some of the best sandwiches I've ever had.

You cannot pass by the place without your mouth watering. The smell of good meat fills your nostrils faster than you can order. Try an egg sandwich with all the fixings (including egg) and you won't be disappointed. It's becoming my routine stop!

Their main feature is the sandwich and it's more of a texture dish than a flavour one.

The Porchetta House Special comes with porchetta, truffle sauce, mustard, parmesan cheese, hot sauce, and crackling all between a sourdough bun . The pork is moist, the parmesan melts above, and the crackling adds the right crunch to the tender meat.

It lacked flavour and there was too much bun relative to... more

I love these sandwiches so much they are very tasty, but i wont give it a 5 start rating just because of the price point,super pricey in my opinion if you go there for dinner you need at least two sandwiches to feed yourself properly, but if you have a small stomach go for it, you will love it !!

I get it. Now you go get it get it. Porchetta & Co is pork satisfaction personified.

In this quickly developing Bathurst and Dundas haven, this is where you should get your sandwich. Don't overthink it, just give in to the oink-y goodness. Their house sandwich is excellent and the truffle really makes it pop. If you're feeling healthy have them add rapini.

The crackle. Oh the crackle! There... more

Had these sandwiches from Porchetta food truck this year at the Beer Fest. A-May-Zing! I'd definitely love to actually visit the store.

Great porchetta sandwiches

Title pretty much says it. These are great sandwiches. Tender and juicy porchetta and fresh bread. What could be better! and all for less than a Big Mac meal. Take-out with a few seats. One of the best sandwiches in Toronto.

2.5 Stars - I guess I'm in the minority with this review.

I tried the Porchetta sandwich with mustard and mushrooms. It's all about the Pork - A homemade roast containing pork shoulder, pork belly and prosciutto.

What can I say... it's OK I guess. To be honest, I thought the sandwich was a little dry. Also gagged on 1-2 bites that were way too fatty.

On the plus side, the sides dishes were... more

This place has a great atmosphere. It's speciality the porchetta sandwich is very good. GreAt place for meat eaters. Vegetarians stay away. It's better for take out or eating outside since it's quite small. And they do delivery which is a nice touch! It's definitely worth a try. Truffle sauce is to die for!!!

Gawd Dang! This is the best sangwich in the city!

I get the house special every month or so as a treat and it's unbelievable. Looks like a small sandwich but it's so rich and meaty that I'm always satisfied.

Great value for money. Delicious sandwiches every time.

Decent special sandwiches. Pricey at around 10.95. Cash or debit only. Had both the soft shell crab and calamari and bacon sandwiches. Good, a little too saucy. Porchetta is nothing to brag about. Tastes like Chinese roast pork. The idea seemed more attractive than the reality.

OMG. When I die and go to heaven, I pray and hope that there's a Porchetta & Co up there because I don't think I could live without ever being able to eat Porchetta's again.

I cannot even begin to describe how good this place is. And I don't even eat pork. The portions seemed a little small but that could be because it was so damn good, that I wanted another one... and another one... and... more

The House Special is spectacular. Really, it's all about the cracklin'. I'm sure the other items are delicious, but I usually just find one thing and stick with it, and this hasn't steered me wrong here.

Ever since I had these sandwiches, I have been thinking about them, talking about them, recommending them and yes, I have personally taken some of my friends for a visit.

The place is accessible by streetcar. I don't recommend driving. This joint is quite small. Mind you, it's a take-out place. You can just get the sandwich or the sandwich with a side. All toppings are extra. The bun, the... more

Hot sandwich, cold service. Small hipster joints glorified by Bourdain's Layover. For now, celebrity status seemed to have gone to their heads. I dropped in last Friday's rainy afternoon. Very small space, I walked in, probably smelling of out-of-town tourist, girl at counter and about three others behind her milling about. They all ignored me and pretend I wasn't there. Granted I was eye... more

Brought me back to Italy

My family's from central Italy, so when I visit, I love "pigging out" (so to speak) on roast pork, or porchetta.
Found this restaurant in Toronto based on the name. Check out their web site to find out how much trouble they go to stuffing and cooking the noble pig.
A tiny place, but the food is outstanding. Roast pork... more

Good sandwich...price not so good

Taste was good, meat was well seasoned and the homemade mustard was awesome but the price was a little bit high considering the amount of food... sometimes I was chewing just the bread, and the size of the sandwich was pretty much like a mcdonald's dollar burger. Definitely a must try but not going there a second time.

A must try

Among the richest tasting pork sandwiches I have had. It's a pity the staff isn't friendlier. Still worth it as it's a take out stand. Get what you want and go. Their house pork sandwich with truffle cream is a go to. Enjoy.

Not as good as advertised

I have had many a porchetta sandwich and I dont find that they are all that great. I would rate this sandwich as just good. The staff tries to make you feel like they are doing you a favour allowing you to eat here. I would not come back again.

Overhyped business

Another internet driven sandwich craze.
Tastes exactly like roasted pork from Chinatown in a bun.
Too bad it's thrice as expensive

Well worth the visit

I have been wanting to visit this place since it opened but have never found the opportunity since it's a bit off the beaten path. My wife and I were in the neighbourhood on a mid afternoon and decided to try it out. The line stretching out the door told me that the reputation was deserved and I wasn't disappointed.... more

Toronto's answer to Montreal's Swartz...sort of

Truly awesome stuff. Although it is nothing like it, I see this as Toronto's answer to Montreal's Swartz. The rappini is a great way of cutting the fat and creates the illusion of having some sort of health food.

Great sandwich

After trying out a bunch of different sandwich places in the city I have to say that this one is one of the best. I put mushrooms rapini and truffle sauce on my sandwich. It was good but i think that next time i will get different toppings on it. This is a very small place so mostly for take... more

Fantastic

Simple, straightforward, and delicious. Definitely my favourite sandwich in the city (the house special or the Saturday-only breakfast sandwich with smoked gouda and a fried egg are the best) and happily close to where I live. Tender, flavourful pork, nice soft roll, and crispy little bits of crackling. Their soups are usually excellent, as well. If you're there during soft-shelled... more

Incredible pork sandwich

Really great pork sandwich, with crunchy crackling nicely interspersed throughout. My favourite combo of toppings is rapini, parmesan, mustard and hot sauce. Out of this world. This is a tiny little place with counter space for 4 people only. Staff are super nice and easy going. My new favourite sandwich place.... more

Addictive

It's like Lays potato chips...you can't eat just one. Simple concept, but brilliant execution. Sandwiches are crispy, crunchy, moist. The staff are very helpful and friendly, it helps when your product sells itself!

Now that was some good pork

Not just your average sandwich. We waited in line for our sandwiches but were not disappointed. Great bread, pork was delicious and the crackling was fabulous. Well worth the wait.

Porchetta is pork at its best, and Porchetta & Co does it right

Have been coming here for over a year, and look forward to every opportunity again. I remember having porchetta for the first time about 10 years on a vacation in Italy and being blown away at the flavour. After that, I lamented the fact that I couldn't find this heavenly meat in the same authentic style in TO. Porchetta &... more

Amazing

Just a little hole in the wall take out space but Porchetta & Co is easily one of my favourites in the city.
The pork is spiced perfectly. The buns are light and fluffy. The truffle sauce is incredible.
It's a simple menu but when you do something this well you don't need to make a lot of dishes. In... more

No Big Deal

Had a pork sandwich with rapini. The pork was really greasy. Not to my liking. Felt guilty afterward--not in a good way. I think you can certainly find better hot sandwiches in the city.

Great food, great price

We had looked this up online before going to Toronto and singled this out as one of the 'must visit' places. We were not disappointed. 4oz of salty & succulent pork, crispy crackling, a delicious toasted bun, and I added to mine a slice of mozzarella and truffle sauce. The basic pork/crackling/bun combination is a bargain at $6.95 and there... more

They do pork right

The menu is simple featuring a soup of the day and the pork in sandwich or platter form. We chose the sandwich which is 4 oz of pulled pork shoulder, a sprinkling of crispy pork rind served on a toasted chibatta roll. The garnishes range from a very good Dijon mustard to truffle sauce. The day we went the house... more

Unbelievable

Stopped here on a whim, so glad we did unbelievable pork sandwiches. The guy at the counter recommended the "house special" pork with mustard,hot sauce ,truffle sauce, and shaved parmesan cheese. Sounds like it wouldn't work together but it did. The only draw back is the place is really small so only about 5 stools to sit in the entire... more

Portions are terribly small

The porchetta sandwich is small for the price and is lacking in flavour. There is far better food out there.

Should be one in every city

The sandwiches here have to be tasted to be believed - if you do nothing else while in Toronto, GO HERE!
We pulled up to the restaurant at 11:30 - which we found out was opening time. There was already a line of locals waiting to get in! (Please note, there is no seating available. You get your sandwich and... more

No frills, just delicious pigs

Top-notch, nothing fancy porchetta sandwiches and plates (for us carb-haters). The line up outside should tell you that this place is a jewel in Toronto.

A Foodies Delight

If you're from out of town and want to get a locals opinion of food in Toronto, you will be interested in what I have to say here. Porchetta does pork right! It's moist & succulent and the they get the skin super crispy and delicious! This is one food item in Toronto you shouldn't miss out on if you're... more

The Best Sandwich in Toronto

Absolutely love this place. You gotta Love when a place does one thing and does it well. Finally I had their breakfast sandwich, and what a sandwich, the fresh bun, the crunch of the cracklin', the juicy meaty pork, the perfectly cooked egg with saucy yolk, melted Gouda cheese and truffle sauce which I always opt in the extra 75... more

simple and fabulous

Stopped by Porchetta & co for a sandwich and bowl of soup. The sandwich was exactly the right size, the pork was done perfectly and the bun was excellent. The soup of the day was Cream of Mushroom with Truffle oil. I've had the same in high end restaurants and this was right up there at the top. It may... more

My Favourite Sandwich in Town

My first visit to Porchetta & Co. was the second week they opened. I was unsure about a roast pork sandwich, being not a great fan of pork. But one bite into the sandwich and I declared it the best sandwich I have ever had. Meaty, crunchy, flavourful, and I loved the truffle sauce. Thinking that was an accident, I... more

Undoubtedly the best sandwich in town

I love restaurants which sell only basically one type of food.........it is so unique and awesome!!!! There are three (or more) types of pork in the Porchetta sandwich, which embodies it with a complex texture and flavour......try it with truffle sauce and rappini...tastes great!

For the love of pork

Porchetta & Co. is an unpretentious place with scant seating (about 6 or 7 stools) in a tiny storefront on Dundas Street West. It essentially does one thing and does it magnificently - makes porchetta sandwiches. They marinate a pork shoulder, wrap it in prosciutto and wrap it again in cured pork belly. They roast it at 400 degrees for... more
