My new favourite place! They are so polite and patient.
I got the chicken parm sandwich and that thing is big. I ate half and was full. I looked at it and got full. It met my expectations. And You can get different toppings. Totally recommend!!
My gf got the meat lasagna “it’s nice and cheesy and saucy. And it’s get you full. I had 5 bites and got full”
I tried it as well and it was really good the portion is nice and filling.
Prices here are good not that bad for the portion and service

De-lic-ious!! Everything was flavourful, huge portions and my kids (age 3&5) couldn't get enough of the lasagna. We had the family meal for 4 consisting of a veal sandwich, steak sandwich, lasagna, garlic toast and Caesar salad. It was enough food for 2 days! The sandwiches were as big as my hand (and I can palm a basketball), freshly made focaccia, loaded with premium toppings (look at the photos and see for yourself). The lasagna had that homemade feeling - fresh lasagna noodle and homemade sauce. The Ceasar salad with the homemade croutons was sooooo good. They also sell homemade pasta

Food is ALWAYS on point. Large points at a great price and the staff is always super friendly. Definitely a 10/10 recommendation.
Catering service is also just as great, food is always accurate and tastes delicious and comes for when you ordered.
They know what they are doing there!
By far one of mine and co-workers favorite place for lunch; we go there regularly for the hot table lunches and have catered in multiple times for the entire office. I have never been disappointed.

I have gone to this place 3 times already and I wonder "how have I not gone more". I have taste tested the pasta with rose sauce, and the sauce is so flavourful. The most flavourful rose sauce I have ever tasted in fact. The chicken has a nice charred smoky taste to it. This is a must try. I feel truly blessed to have this close to my work place.

Currently trying to breathe, as I just inhaled half of my lunch from here. SO FULL.
I've been here plenty of times and my work used to actually have our Christmas parties here, so I'm very familiar with this place. I meal prep every week, but once a week I leave a 'buy your lunch day'. For the past two weeks, The Hearty Kitchen has been the winner... AND for the past two weeks, the order remains the same. "A piece of lasagna and a side kale salad, please!" I don't even know how to tell you how good this lasagna is. I think about this lasagna often, to be

This place is great! We get catered from here often for many events and they know what's good. I've gone here for the hot tables during lunch (starting around 12pm prime time) before and it's super busy. Might be even hard to find a spot and I've seen the line up go out the door before. If you don't mind a late lunch, it's better to go around 1pm. Def less rush of people there.
I like any of their sandwiches. All soo yummy.
My favourite is probably the bruschetta pizza and the lasagna they're made fresh and it's bomb. My picture has a bunch of stuff on

Yummm is pretty much what I say! We order food from here probably twice a month. The lasagna is amazing and fresh!! The price is a little much, BUT sleep in mind 1 serving of lasagna is enough for 2, so to me the price is right. The ladies are always pleasant when we call and place he order and the food is always fresh and ready when we arrive.
It's a small location and VERY busy always so if you don't want to wait call ahead and have it prepared for you so when you arrive you can leave.

This is one of my FAV lunch spots as I have said in my other review. They make amazing sandwiches.
I usually have the Steak and Rapini sandwich on a hot pepper focaccia bun but today I tried something different.
Kale salad with grilled chicken breast
Can you say WOW!?!?! I was SO impressed!
You have GOT to try it. Their kale salad is one of the best I have ever eaten! I am more of a carnivore than a rabbit but today I was so impressed that I think I need to start trying more things from this place!

This is my regular lunch spot. They have amazing veal sandwiches, way better than California Sandwich. Their bread is soft and pillowilly (sp). I definitely recommend getting the rapini - itis sauteed in olive oil and garlic and heightens the veal sandwich to another level.
They also other foods such as pasta, lasagna, salads, cold and hot sandwiches. I forgot their pizza is AMAZING! Thin crust with the right balance of toppings. One huge slice is under $5!
If you are in the Rexdale/Etobicoke area, mark sure you visit this place. They are only open for lunch.
