Bodira Cafe - Markham, Ontario

Brings me back to Italy! Stopped here for quick lunch. The veal sandwich was delicious. The owner was so nice and recommended Italy’s version of cola. The quality of food was amazing. I ended up grabbing some dry pasta and snacks from the grocery wall to go after eating in. I ... took a quick shot of espresso on the way out and it was on point! If you are looking to support a small local business with good food, excellent service and reasonable price. This is the place!! Everything was amazing! Read more

Was in the area and decided to check this place out based on good reviews. The cafe is a mix of a cafe, deli and mini grocery for various Italian inspired goods. As soon as you walk in the aroma of delicious marinara sauce really gets your appetite going. I went for ... the Chicken Parm sandwich. The sandwich came with various fixings: mushroom, onions, red pepper, cheese and marinara sauce. The portion size was good. Definately sharable. Be sure to have napkins on hand as it does get messy as you work your way through the sandwich. As expected by the aroma, the marinara sauce was delish. The chicken cutlet was good but I would prefer it to be crispier. With the sauce and toppings the batter was soft. The bun was large and a little bit tough. Maybe a nice solution would be to put the sauce on the bun side to soak in the flavours and soften up the bread. Overall the sandwich hit the spot but would likely try their other offerings if I was in the area again. Read more

the Sicilian arancini rice ball, veal sandwich, and cannoli was so so good! the service was also amazing and i believe the owner? (not sure if he was the owner, sorry) was such a sweet guy and also recommended me the veal sandwich. the woman working behind the counter was ... also so nice and i just felt very welcomed. the veal sandwich was super big and i didn't know so it was super filling. nonetheless, i would 100% come again and highly recommend coming here just because how good everything is and how nice the people are.
