| - Nice Italian Bakery hidden in the corner of an old shopping plaza on Pharmacy right off Finch.
Agincourt Bakery is a small family run Italian bakery that offers up Italian desserts, breads, antipasto, and cheeses. But besides that stuff, the real reason I showed up was to take on the Veal Sandwich I heard much about. The meal counter offers up a variety of classics like homemade lasagna, cheese tortellini and homemade meatballs.
The Veal Sandwich was just alright. I wasn't sure what the big deal was. The sandwich itself is a messy one, so make sure you make good use of the napkins around. The bread is crunch on the outside and was very warm and soft on the inside. The breaded veal cutlets are soaking in the sauce, so the light breading actually becomes way too soggy. Many other places dip the veal in sauce which works much better. The taste was a bit sour, but the meat was tender. The sandwich has to be ordered with cheese (provolone or mozzarella recommended).
We also got an order of the cheese tortellini to take home because it looked great. The taste was good. The shells were stuffed to the brim and the sauce was rich and creamy. Make sure you eat it while it's hot, because it doesn't get better in the fridge. (We're idiots)
I would come early when everything is freshly made. We arrived a bit later in the afternoon, so many of the items on the hot counter were just sitting around. Besides the hot counters, the bakery and desserts looked incredible. Will probably come back to try some.
