Café Buongiorno does espresso and biscotti, but it also feeds the morning crowd, the lunch rush, and half of Saint-Léonard’s events. What started as a cozy café has grown into a full-on catering operation, known for its Italian sandwiches, wrap platters, and holiday spreads built to impress a crowd. The star? Porchetta Romana—slow-roasted, herbed, and available by the slice, in a sandwich, or whole if you’re not messing around. Inside, the space keeps its café charm: a counter of homemade pastries, Italian imports lining the shelves, and staff who know their regulars by name. Whether it’s a breakfast tray for a morning meeting, a private event in their dining room, or a mobile BBQ setup with the grill brought to you, Buongiorno Cucina keeps the hospitality sharp and the food familiar. The motto says it all: La cucina piccola fa la casa grande. A small kitchen makes a big home.
