Paninaro is an Ottawa schiacciata sandwich shop built around fresh-baked bread, house creams, Italian cured meats, and Marco Distefano's Florence-to-Ottawa origin story. The Somerset counter is strongest for focused lunch ordering, pickup, and signature builds like the Moda Mortadella and Milano Mingle.

Spark Beer & Pizza is a Chinatown brewery-pizzeria where house beer and 24-hour pizza dough share the same fermentation logic: local malt and hops on one side, St Albert mozzarella and sharp, music-referencing 10-inch pies on the other.
