Description

Recorded April 1, 2021 - David Mattachioni, owner of Mattachioni Restaurant shares his passion behind the business, his upbringing, work history and why Kensington Market is his favourite neighbourhood. In this episode we talk with David Mattachioni who is the founder of Mattachioni Restaurant, located at 1617 Dupont Street in the Junction (the Triangle) and a new location located at 1501 Gerrard Street East near Coxwell Avenue. He makes the best sourdough based pizzas and bread. The restaurant portion turned bodega/store portion (since Covid) takes us back to Italy (even though Alon’s never been). Mattachioni’s goal is "to make the world a better place and become a centre for our neighbourhood and neighbours". He is a master at creating a sense of family and community at his locations. He shared with us that neighbours use the restaurant address for their package delivery because they are always there. When someone visits Mattachioni, it feels as if it’s a second home. A home with fresh pizza, crispy on the outside and moist and chewy on the inside, like sourdough bread, with the best tomato sauce. We talk to David about his days bussing at The Octopus and being the main pizza guy at Terroni’s for 14 years. He also spent a couple years in Prince Edward County making pizza at Norman Hardie Winery & Vineyard. He opened a second location during Covid, which is a testament to the quality of food and service that he and his team provide. <span style= "font-size: 11pt; c
