If you live in Vancouver, we bet you’ve at least heard of La Grotta Del Formaggio, one of the city’s oldest Italian delis. Now, the deli is expanding into Metro Vancouver with a new concept opening in Burnaby called Panino Mio. “Hey, North Burnaby! Exciting news! We are finally going to be expanding! Introducing Panino Mio.
We will have our much-loved custom panini, cannoli, drinks, and more,” shared La Grotta on Instagram. Not much else is known about the new sandwich spot, but if it’s anything like La Grotta we can expect plenty of delicious paninis. For those unfamiliar, La Grotta is a bustling neighbourhood shop known for its huge variety of cheeses, cured meats, pantry items, and, of course, its legendary sandwiches.
It was originally located at the current address of Il Mercato before moving to its current location of 1791 Commercial Drive in 1979. Are you excited about this new concept? Let us know in the comments. 4092 Hastings Street, Burnaby.
