| - This is primarily a review of Nonna's Italian sandwiches, particularly the veal cutlet sandwich. We have been getting these sandwiches as take-out for almost four years. They started off quite good, but earlier this year they changed the way they prepare the veal in their veal sandwich, and it has been very disappointing. There are more pieces of veal than before, which would seem like an excellent thing, except that the meat is now pounded to a paper thin sheet, with tons of breading pressed on. There is way more breading than veal in every piece. The sandwich now consists of layer upon layer of this gummy breading, with whisper-thin sheets of flavourless grey veal at intervals throughout, the stale bready taste ineffectively masked by the tomato sauce and peppers. The texture is just gross. As a result, Nonna's has gone from a "pretty good Italian sandwich place" to "our absolute least favourite Italian sandwich place".
On a separate note, the pizzas are still fairly delicious, if you're in the mood for a splurge-y gourmet pizza in Markham. But in general, we've lost most of our motivation to choose Nonna's when deciding on food options in the area.
