Christies Il Secondo — Restaurant in Saskatoon

I recently visited Christie’s Il Secondo and was absolutely blown away by the Fat Tony panini and their expertly crafted latte. The Fat Tony is nothing short of sensational—layers of mortadella, capicollo, salami, crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, zesty pepperoncini, and creamy mozzarella, all glazed with a balsamic reduction and tangy chili‑lemon aioli, nestled in fresh sourdough. The combination of savoury meats, bright peppers, melty cheese, and that kick from the aioli made every bite deliciously memorable. The latte was equally impressive—silky-smooth, aromatic, and perfectly balanced—a real treat whether you’re waking up or taking a midday break. On top of that, the atmosphere at Il Secondo is warm and inviting, and the staff were genuinely friendly and engaging. It’s the kind of local gem that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. In short: Fat Tony + latte = pure happiness. If you’re in Saskatoon and appreciate bold flavors, high-quality ingredients, and top-notch coffee, make sure you make a stop at Christie’s Il Secondo. I’ll be counting down until...

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Christies Il Secondo, located at 802c Broadway Ave, Saskatoon, and I must say it is, in my opinion, the best bakery in the city. The establishment offers a delightful variety of bread and numerous drink options.

Despite arriving close to closing time, the staff remained friendly and patient, allowing us to enjoy our time without feeling rushed.

The washroom was impeccably clean, and our food was served promptly. I am truly glad I chose Christies Il Secondo to host my guest, as it provided a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Being at Christies is...

I am so glad the city has such a great bakery. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of their menu items. It’s not just a bakery spot, It’s our favourite sandwich spot and our favourite pizza spot, too! The Cousin Vinny sandwich has this butter scallion oil that makes it soooo delicious. Love their chocolate croissant, too. We always buy a few of the frozen pepperoni pizzas to keep at home, pricey but I’m picky when it comes to pizza. I haven’t tried their soup. And the all dressed baguette is the best thing ever. You have to go early because it sells out fast. This place has such a clean, friendly and cute vibe for stopping in to grab something quick, eating in, or sipping your coffee from the outdoor seating in the summer time soaking in...
