| - I come from Thornhill, home of the original Dante's. We were customers for over 17 years while they were on Bay Thorn Drive. Imagine my disappointed when they moved to Vaughan. We ordered a few times even paying the crazy $15 delivery charge to get their super amazing veal sandwiches & pasta to our house in Markham once we moved. As delivery charges rose up, we stopped ordering. Honestly, i didn't give them a second thought until recently when someone mentioned that Dante's closed and the same family opened Paoletti's Pizzeria. I was so excited because just last night, hubby was heading home from work and after a week of craving those amazing veal sandwiches, hubby was 10 min away from Paoletti's!
Our take-out order was: 1 steak sandwich, 1 veal sandwich and 1 order of Vodka Penne. The veal sandwich - WHAT HAPPENED?!?! Very little veal, bread was very hard & impossible to bite into, hardly any meat (yes, so shocked i said it twice!!!) I was very very disappointed in the portion and quality of bread they now use. The cheese was baked on so much, i couldn't see the veal until splitting the sandwich apart. The portion of meat was 1/4 of what they used to serve in their huge soft bread. Not even their super delish sauce could save this sandwich for me and how tough the bread was. Veal was still as tender as ever, but if they continue to use the same bread, i won't be back unless it's for pizza & pasta to order. Their sandwiches used to be huge - so much meat you could use the bread given with the pasta to make a second sandwich. Certainly not the case anymore.
The only thing that saved the meal for us, was the Vodka Penne - as if time had stood still, still amazing as ever!
