| - Tutti Panini, located in the North end of Richmond Hill (formally known as Oak Ridges) made a terrible error in switching locations about a year ago, moving from a highly visible Yonge Street location to a strip plaza on King Road (next to the church), tucked in a corner hidden from view. Bad move guys. Remember the key to success in restaurants is all about three things...
Location, Location AND Location.
"Pant, Pant, Pant".....Ok pointless Rage subsiding, Italo-HULK calm, now for the important stuff.
Upon walking into Tutti Panini you are immediately whisked away to a courtyard in the Italian countryside. The decor is beautiful, there isn't a detail left out. From the fruit trees coming out of the walls, the stone work, balconies, and even the classic furniture. The owners have really put the extra effort in here and it shows. Most places like this I will grab my food and go, however I love having a seat to enjoy my lunch, makes me feel at home. BRAVO
Lets talk Italian chow for a bit. As I have eluded too in other reviews, I am of Italian ancestry and proud. So all other foods aside I feel I have a better than average perception of determining the difference between the have's and have not's of Italian Cuisine
In Italiano, "Tutti Panini", means all sandwiches. Thankfully this is NOT the case here as they offer a full menu of classic Italian dishes (on top of a great hot and cold Italian Sandwich menu). You can order a fresh pizza, Aranccini (rice balls), pasta, etc, etc. However, my item of choice on the regular is their Hot Veal Sandwich. YUMMO
Their Veal Sang-wiches (if you're Italian you'll get that reference) are the perfect marriage of freshly cooked, made to order veal cutlets, served on a fresh bun and topped with BAWSE-Tomato SAWSE (yes folks I've dubbed their sauce BAWSE) and your choice of cheese and toppings. Che Bella!!!
One note on the food is that with freshly made items, you pay a penalty with time. I find a simple veal sandwich can take as long as 15 minutes to turn around. Great if your staying for a spell, however inconvenient if you're in a hurry.
I would rate this place a little higher, however I feel like the location and turnaround on food really impedes my ability to do so. That being said, decor and food quality give them a solid A-OK in my books with the opportunity to get a 4 or 5 once I have tried more of the menu.
End Recco.... Make the trek to this neck of the BURBS, the food is worth the wait and worth the search. Just think about how many places downtown you've searched for relentlessly. Go on. Give it a shot. You know you want it.
Buon Appetito
