Primo Veal

Love this place! Has the best veal sandwich I’ve ever had and the owners are super nice. Occasionally (can’t remember which day) they have lasagne made by the owners mother which is amazing.

First, I’d like to start off by saying that this place is NOT CLOSED and they certainly don’t plan on closing any time soon.
My husband has been frequenting this establishment for ages and I was certainly eager to try. Having recently moved to the area from NY, I was desperate to find some awesome Italian– N. American style cuisine and this place did not disappoint. The Veal sandwiches are fried fresh to order and absolutely to die for! I look forward to returning and trying some of their other fare, but damn, they make a good veal sandwich!

Messy… but delicious.
It’s a little hard to find because the restaurant isn’t visible from the street. However I look for the flower shop thats pretty much directly blocking the view of this restaurant.
The owners… nice, friendly and sociable. Treated each customer like close friends. I was foolish enough to think that a veal sandwich needs every topping available, but I’m glad I just got the cheese, spicy jalapeño and peppers with the veal dipped into the sauce because this sandwich is huge. This could easily feed another person or put someone into a food coma if they dare to finish one. It’s messy and I don’t think you can eat a veal sandwich without it being everywhere. For the price, quality, and food it definitely gets a ⁵⁄₅

I never write reviews but Primo Veal is fantastic. I’ve lived in the area for nearly 15 years but I didn’t even realize Primo Veal was a resturant. The veal sandwich is fantastic and so is the penne. The sauce is everything a pasta sauce should be.

What a wonderful place to eat sandwiches!!!
It is Italian but North American style. You can’t eat veal sandwich at ban in Italy.
Secret of taste is tomatoes sauce!!!
Owners of business (Mike) is learned to prepare sauce from grand mother and brings to your taste. He is very generous man, He loves his business and wants to stay on this way.
If you’re first time there, you have to eat Veal sandwich after that I am sure you will be there again. Second time you can order (discover) other things too!!!
P. s.Do not forget to drink espresso.

I’d driven past this place on numerous occasions but for some reason never stopped in before. Finally got around to it on a Wednesday, which has a meatball samich on special.
So, ya meatball samich and greek salad it is. First, the meatballs are huge and awesome and the hot peppers, wow. Bun was so fresh, soft and goood. Greek salad was a good size for a side and everything fresh and tasty. Place is tiny and has a real homey feel… and of course it just smells so awesome.

Not a review on food.
I came at 6:30pm ish tonight. They close at 7:00pm. The flashing sign that says ‘open’ was on. I tried the door. Multiple times. Locked. No one inside. Lights were all on though. Not sure what was going on, but for future reference, call before coming just to make sure you can get in.
Also difficult to spot this place. It’s on the side of the plaza, and the parking on that side is either awkward or illegal (or both…)

This is a little hole in the wall type of place. If you weren’t looking for it you probably wouldn’t notice it. Not to mention the owners are so friendly!
I ordered the chicken sandwich (I know it’s a veal place but I can’t get myself to stop imaging cute little baby calves and feel guilty) Nevertheless, it’s one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve had! The hot peppers are a MUST! I love spicy food and their peppers actually give quite the kick.
I paid around ten bucks for the sandwich with extra toppings plus a drink, which is truly a steal for food this delicious.
The seating is a row of small tables outside, which on a fair weather day is actually a joy!
They take cash only and are very limited on parking.

Wow, the veal was spectacular. Definitely putting this place on my list of lunch on the go haunts.
The sauce is truly idea for the veal Lol

This place is awesome! The owners are very sweet and friendly and the veal sandwich is simply delicious. I got it dipped, with cheese and spicy peppers. Be warned the peppers are really hot! If I’m ever in Toronto again I’ll be back here :)

Been meaning to try this place out for a while after reading the good reviews.
Great veal sandwiches at a fair price!
Check it out! The couple there are very nice. I’ll definitely go back.
Notes: closed Sundays and bring cash.

Make sure you don’t miss this gem in Scarborough. It’s tucked away facing Pharmacy at the intersection, and is absolutely worth visiting. One bite of the tender and juicy veal sandwich and you’ll understand why. For the sandwich, you can either have sauce poured on top of the meat or have it dunked into the sauce. I suggest the latter. Yes, it can get a bit messy, but it tastes so much better that way anyways.
Since there’s a lack of seating, I recommend ordering sandwiches to go. Make sure to bring cash because the business is cash only. There’s no need to be shy either because the owner is extremely friendly. Oh, and one last thing. Prepare to say goodbye to precooked veal cutlets that have been left out for however long, and hello to veal made fresh to order before your very eyes!

Saw recommendations and went their, pretty disappointed.
Had Veal Cutlet with hot pepper topping. fresh enough, but the taste was just Ok.
Portion was good, but I don’t think worth the price. Wanted to try lasagna, but probably not going again.
I’ll give it 3 overall.

Great veal sandwich. Owners are very friendly.
Cash only, not a ton of seating in the shop.

The best Veal Sandwich one can get in Scarberia. Habbit forming I cannot stop going there again and again. …add Hot Pepper to your topping, onions, sauce, cheese would harmonize with it…

Primo: Exceptionally good of its kind; first-​class
Primo Veal’s Veal Sandwich ($ 5.95) is one of the best or even the best veal sandwich in the Scarborough area.
Here the veal is made to order fresh! Not like other places I have been to sitting for hours under the heated lamp!
Tender, Moist and Oh so delicious!
Eating can be messy! Sauce can be splashed everywhere!
Friendly staff warned me about the chili oil, but I love spicy and hot!
Writing this review is making me hungry for one of those… NOW!

Primo Veal does an A-​M-​A-​Z-​I-​N-​G *MEATBALL* on Wednesdays O N L Y.
Portions are Plentiful. People are Peaceful. Pasta is a Pass-​a (–0.5). 3.5’d
Skip the Pasta like you would skip Andrea Bargnani’s Primo Pasta commercial.

Forget about those places serving frozen veal cutlets that have been pre-​cooked, placed in a warming table all day, and then garnished with some cheap canned product.
This the BEST veal on a bun I’ve had in a very long time. All the ingredients are freshly prepared, including the toppings. Every sandwich is cooked fresh and made to order while you wait. There’s a small charge for mushrooms, hot peppers, and cheese but they are VERY generous with the portions. You definitely get more than your money’s worth. As another reviewer noted definitely have your veal dipped in the homemade tomato sauce. It’s messy but oh so good! Service is very friendly, establishment clean. If you have a serious hunger this will put a smile on your face. A+

An incredible Veal Sandwich!
Primo Veal is true to its namesake with a Veal sandwich worth getting over and over again. The place itself is a storage closet sized place on the side of a shopping plaza on Pharmacy and Sheppard. Be careful not to overlook the place as it really is on the side and faces Pharmacy Ave. The place is small and the only real seating is 4 chairs along a narrow counter. The menu is simple. Pasta and Sandwiches.
I wanted to try both the Pasta of the Day and the Veal sandwich (They are named Primo Veal after all). The Veal sandwich was incredible. He takes two thin slices of breaded veal. (Not one, two) and its flash fried and is placed on a bed of onions, all atop a warm soft Italian burger bun. There are additional toppings you can get for extra like mushrooms, peppers, or cheese. The cheese is a must have and you would not have the same experience without the cheese. Also, the guy will ask you if you like the sauce on top or have the veal cutlets dipped in the sauce. Always dip it. Always. The veal was so tender and layered perfectly between the warm bun with the melted cheese. It’s a pretty big sandwich but I don’t think I’d have any issue taking down two of them.
One thing I will note about the pasta was that I was not impressed at all. I had the penne with the tomato sauce but its simply not worth the price. $ 6 for plain pasta and sauce? Won’t do that again. Trust me… get yourself another sandwich and skip the pasta. You won’t regret it.
I was actually impressed by the drinks too as they had some stuff I haven’t seen in quite some time. Drinks like Dr Pepper Cherry, Vanilla Coke, Brio, Coke made with REAL sugar, etc. Just an observation for those who can’t seem to find Vanilla Coke or even knew it existed anymore.
Despite the disappointing pasta, that Veal Sandwich was perfection. Layered veal with melted cheese all on a warm soft Italian bun. AND its only $ 5.25. Definitely the place to go if you’re in the area for lunch.

UUPPPPDATE! I went into the actual store today. It’s not hard to spot, very Italian-​ey. It’s very small inside, there’s some seating by the window but I would suggest take out.
THE ONLY TAKE CASH… no CC, debit, travelers cheques, sexual services, etc.
THE HOT PEPPERS ARE EXTREMELY HOT. I got them. I also almost died and had to take them all off the samich AND it was still too hot (cuz of le juices)
Very nice staff — a lady and a man, friendly, cheerful, quick and not stingy :) Toppings cost around 50 to 75 cents, that’s why the sandwich itself if so cheap i guess! With all the add ons it kind of rolls up to like 8 – 9 bucks.
I tried the steak today too — yuuuummmt!!! They grill it and put BBQ sauce on it and its so soooft and chewy. Im way too excited about this place can you tell???
