Ammucca Sicilian Street Food

What is Ammucca Sicilian Street Food? Occupying a snug storefront at 1154B St. Clair Avenue West in Corso Italia, Ammucca brings the traditional street-level tavola calda of Catania to midtown Toronto. Founded by Catania native Giacomo Sciarotta and partner Sara, the room functions as a bright, fast-casual rosticceria and espresso bar anchored by a hot-counter display case packed with freshly fried and baked specialties. Seating is casual and compact, offering a handful of high-top counters and cafe tables designed for quick bites, espresso shots, or evening drinks.

Ammucca Sicilian Street Food Menu & What to Order The kitchen specializes in authentic Sicilian *tavola calda*, led by hefty, cone-shaped arancini filled with classic Catanese ragù and peas or rich pistachio cream with mortadella. Baked street staples (*cose 'nfurnate*) shine just as brightly, particularly the folded cartocciata parmigiana stuffed with eggplant and cheese, alongside crisp paper cones of chickpea panelle and mint-laced cazzilli potato croquettes. For dessert, ricotta cannoli are piped strictly to order alongside slices of traditional cassata, making a stellar match for an almond-sweet Orzata or an Aperol spritz.

Know Before You Go Ammucca operates on a walk-in, counter-service format, so expect a brief queue during peak lunch hours and weekend afternoons. Street parking along St. Clair Avenue West is limited, making the 512 St. Clair streetcar the most convenient transit option. The shop serves from 11:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Wednesday through Monday and is closed on Tuesdays.
