| - Was driving north on Yonge Street not knowing for sure what I wanted. Passing Nino, I remembered a promise to.myself to check out their Veal sandwich because it was eons ago from the last one I had from their Wellington location in Aurora. This spot has been around for quite a while, and even on a Friday afternoon it was pretty busy. This is a place where you can grab a Heineken and a snack and have a causal conversation inside or on their well appointed patio. Inside, you have many different 'stations' depending on what you want; such as Gelato, hot plate, sliced meats and premium Italian pastry.
Honestly, this is a nice looking place. Sopranos has nothing on the Italian vibe here. Everything looks authentic. Why not have a cappuccino and a biscotti after your lasagna? So, the negative reviews here don't really add up to what is being offered. In terms of service, it is a cafeteria style, so I would not have an expectation of anything more than a quick service approach. This is a busy place, and service does not appear to be a priority over the food prep. Which is fine, because they do not portend to be anything more than that. Truly, it's a great vibe.
For today, I grabbed a Veal sandwich which come with your peppers and mushrooms and extra sauce for about $8.00. What a huge sandwich. I split it with the little guys and it was enough for both of us. Delicate veal, fresh baked bread and roasted peppers. Come on, you can't get much better than that. From end to end I think I was in there for less than ten, which is pretty fast.
So remember, come for the he food, not the service as it does seem more of a quick service. But you'll definately enjoy it, especially if grabbing a coffee and a sweet treat. Whose counting calories?
