Greatest Veal Sandwiches?

[Akraz]

I'm Italian so veal sandwiches have been in my family for decades. It's one of those special delicate sandwiches you have once in a while but not too much.

I find that Molisana Bakery on Creditview/Bristol (Mississauga) makes excellent veal sandwiches, next to San Francesco's Foods.

Share your veal sandwich stories and where you get them!

[tonic]

I like California Sandwiches and San Francesco..Nino D'Aversa is pertty good too.

[raymondly]

In Vaughn - Weston Rd and Hwy 7 (South/West side)
Not sure the name but it is in behind the main mall (with a Dollar Store etc.)

Best.
Veal.
Ever.

[Slashz28]

I dunno about "best", but the only place I get veal sandwiches are from Ricci's ( Weston/Langstaff).

Colleague highly recommended some place in St. Lawrence Market...so I went with him to try it out.

Lo and behold, there was definitely a huge line-up at this place at lunch.

So I got the veal with the works......peppers, onions etc.

Greatest alright....greatest runs evar!!! Not sure what it was but I had an upset stomach as a result of that place.

So definitely don't eat there...

If so, it's pretty good, but kinda sucks. They used to let you add peppers and mushrooms for free, now they charge for them :mad:

yep, the same place--moustachio's

the eggplant parm is better than the veal, imho

[TapemanPL]

I like California Sandwiches and San Francesco..Nino D'Aversa is pertty good too.

it's a hands down tie between Californias and SanFrans... they both make it amazing but are slightly different. you must try it from either of these places before you think about putting another place on the top of your list

San fran was the top of my list until i went to molisana bakery.

My new fave place. Even though you have to pay for toppings, they are extremely generous with them. Love their hot peppers.

I'm a sauce guy and rank my preference as follows: tasty sauce; freshly cooked veal; price; fresh crusty buns; hot peppers; additional toppings.

I like Moustachio's sauce but overall, it's just alright and not worth the effort of going to St. Lawrence Market and lining up.

Commiso's used to be my favourite but their sauce isn't as good as others, IMO. Price and hours of operation is great though.

California Sandwiches is great too, especially their freshly cooked veal, but they are not generous with the overpriced toppings.

Bold words. Now i gotta try Molisana's.

I'm not trying to threadcrap, but veal is actually one of the very few meat products I refuse to eat. And to make it clear, I am not vegetarian. Maybe things have changed now, but I remember reading an article about the disproportionate amount of antibiotics used in veal compared to other meats.

How much are the veal sandwiches there? I'm debating right now whether I want a veal sandwich or Quizno's :D

[Carbooja]

I love California, but I find San Antonie's foods more authentic

they're at hwy 7 and Martin grove in the No Frills plaza

The best veal sandwich I have ever eaten was at Dante's. Too bad they are so far from me now:(

[BradT]

This Dante's?

It's like 7 bucks there if I remember correctly. Used to go there all the time in high school :D

[duckdown]

I dunno about "best", but the only place I get veal sandwiches are from Ricci's ( Weston/Langstaff).

+1 for ricci's, those are awesome. their phone number is 1-800-VEAL or something crazy like that, lol

[deblis]

California Sandwiches
Centro Panini (better than califorina's) Weston Rd and Rutherford 1 block w on Rutherford.
Ricci's are ok at best.

[tamper]

California is tasty but the meat is extremely tough, almost more like flank steak than veal.

I like Vinnie's Panini on Dupont west of Christie. The spicy peppers are extreme, I ordered them once thinking they were just "North American" spicy. It burned (for two days if you catch my meaning).

[bLaCkLyCaNtHrOpy]

commisos bakery makes good veal sandwiches, rustic bakery on rustic (keele lawrence area), messina bakery on scarlett and st. clair

gotta have the mushrooms, peppers, sauce and cheese :twisted:

[ItechJester]

+1 for ricci's, those are awesome. their phone number is 1-800-VEAL or something crazy like that, lol

ricci's makes a crazy good panzo, but their veal sandy is definitely not the best in the city

[Akraz]

i think i might just grab a veal sandy tomorrow from Molisana's. I haven't had one in about a month. Glad to know i've made myself hungry off my own thread.

[duckdown]

well if you're about to try and tell me california sandwiches is better than ricci, i must respectfully say: you're crazy

[Akraz]

I went today to Molisana Bakery cause i was craving it.. so good.

Here's a pic for all of you

Dude, My neighbor ordered like 55 Veal cutlets from Desserts plus for a birthday party, we made our own sandwiches, I died, it was amazing, but they don't make Veal sandwiches there, now I'm wondering if I should just buy the veal and get my own buns.

Ah Life is tough.

[Tha_Doggg]

Yup, north of finch. Sucks that they charge for the toppings though. Their hot peppers are also REALLY hot (at least mine still contained seeds and I think that made it way too hot).

[jandumm]

Not to threadjack, but have you folks tried making your own veal sandwiches?

I've come up with a pretty simple recipe....

Veal Scallopini
Italian Breadcrumbs with extra dried parsley, garlic powder and grated parmesan cheese
Dip Veal Scallopini in egg and coat with breadcrumbs
Hot pan fry in melted butter -> doesn't take too long as scallopini is really thin.

In a separate fry pan, sautee toppings such as onions, roasted red peppers, green peppers in a bit of butter.


Put cooked veal in baking dish that has a thin layer of tomato sauce. Coat breaded veal in a thin layer of tomato sauce as well.

Top veal with mozzarella cheese -> put another layer of veal if you wish...add cheese and toppings.

Stick in an oven preheated to 350 for 10 minutes or until cheese melted.

Place on a nice fluffy italian bun.

Enjoy!

i LOVE veal and im currently in the library at yorku waiting for class to start. i will DEFINATELY grab one on my way home at california sandwiches since it's on the way home and REALLY close to the school (5 mins away)

I've been to that one a few times ^_^. im at seneca@york D:

[aricebox]

almost missed the place on my way there (traffic was INCREDIBLY congested yesterday due to the traffic construction on dufferin...

anyways i found the place and ordered the veal with mushrooms :)

it was really good! and the sandwich is SO BIG! i was starving before i bought it and as i finished the sandwich i was incredibly full and satisfied

will go there again for sure!

however the staff there wasn't too friendly to me/ or the other customers at the time, but i don't really care since i'm only there for the veal! :D yummm

[psyko514]

I had California Sandwiches earlier this month when I was in Toronto. Delicious.

+1 I love it.

[jandumm]

so just finished eating my molisana's veal sandwich -> have to say that after all the hype, it was a bit of a disappointment. They're not awful however I probably won't go back.

I didn't like the fact that the veal was premade in one of those takeout trays, slightly above room temperature. The peppers/mushrooms/onions were precooked. If everything was warmed up and nicely baked together such that the cheese melted, I wouldn't have cared, but basically got a slightly warm sandwich with the cheese barely melted. ALso didn't like the fact that they weren't tightly packed and stuff sorta poured out everywhere. The veal tasted a lot more like ground beef.

San Frans (Britannia/Creditview) is a favourite and we find their veal sandwiches go do down like butter, they're nicely layered with cheese, tomato sauce and veal and they always seem to take 10-15 minutes to make, and are still quite hot by the time we get them home.

:-0.... >:(

can't say mine was made like that, usually it's the other way around. sometimes it depends on the server i guess.

That's the one.

uhhhh Dante's is DISGUSTING. Why the heck anyone thinks that is good food is beyond me. Try a real veal sandwich at Sanfran's or Sinipoli's (Jane street south of Major Mack).

[Bwadd]

Bonjourno's Cafe - 1 Block west of Islington on the Queensway, north Side in a strip mall!

My friend owns and runs it, but it's by far the best Veal in Town... must try it out!

Tell him Clint sent you!

[originalnutta]

Went to a Molisana's Bakery in Brampton, on Bovaird.

Not sure if they are connected, but this veal sandwich was pretty good.
I loved the bread. It was soft and fluffy and did a great job of mopping up the sauce. $6.50 for the sandwich. The veal was already made and sitting in a container.


So now i gotta try San Frans, if they make everything fresh.

Wow, I am surprised that anyone could say that, leads me to believe you have never tried a veal sandwich from Dante's.

[Fraggle]

I wish that were true, I kept giving them the benefit of the doubt as I live so close. After *several* disgusting attempts at pizza, pasta, and veal (I LOVE veal sandwiches) I gave up and started expressing my experiences here and to friends. Perhaps it is because I am used to having GOOD pizza and veal sandwiches. I grew up directly beside a san francesco's.. I miss living beside that place...

Ugh, i was in the area today and starving for something to eat. So i thought i'd go to Bom Apetite, and there are closed till the 30th.

And i couldn't remember the name of the place you suggested. Now i remember seeing it. :(

What are the prices like at this place?

[jokm1234]

Deri Italian Bakery at 640 Bloor Street in Mississauga. Close to little Caesars pizza, Bloor and Mississauga Valley.

Excellent Veal sandwiches, topped with provolone cheese, muchrooms and peppers. cost about $7. I've been going there for years. I now live a bus ride away but stop by every so many months when I have a craving for veal and crazy bread. :)

Not sure I think around 6 bucks for a Sandwich that is pretty big...\

The big guy behind the counter his name is Joey he is the owner!... Just tell him you are friends with Clint and that I told you to go there!!

[originalnutta]

I went to Mario's San Francesco at Dixie/Eglinton. Big sandwich and i got the works, which came to $8.75.

Dunno why it costed that much, since i didnt get a receipt after.


Decent sandwich, but the veal was a bit dried out and chewy. Lots of breading.

Hot chick working behind the counter, among a couple of older ladies so YMMV.

This is probably not the same as San francesco's that everyone is talking about.

Big ups on San Frans just east of Creditview and Britannia (Same plaza as Devils Harp)

Always tastes great and everything tastes fresh!
