Little Italy in Toronto gave birth to California Sandwiches.
The Papa/Bertucci family bought a local grocery business in the mid1960s in order to feed a growing family.
Traditional food preparation me…
Absolutely the best veal sandwich I have ever had. Tip; ask for sauce on the side instead of on it. Then it comes crispy and not soggy. That's what I did and it was perfect. Onion rings great too.

This location is not remotely as good as the original Clairmont location in Little Italy. The breading was salty and yet bland, the sauce was quite sweet in the Chicken Sandwich, and for the Mini Eggplant they gave only one slice in the sandwich. My mother was very disappointed as she's always gotten the Mini Eggplant at the other locations and they at least put more in the sandwich.

I have enjoyed California Sandwiches since the mid to late 1990's and their quality, freshness , and the most amazing tasty huge sandwiches have never been compromised. The chicken and veal sandwiches with mushrooms and peppers are the best that I personally have ever had. One regular sandwich will easily satisfy the hungriest of us. Well done. I am very fortunate to have California Sandwiches just around the corner!!!

We asked for the veggies and sauce on the side so it wouldn't arrive soggy and they did not disappoint. Sent tons of extra veggies even. All sandwiches were DELICIOUS and their fries are always on point.

steak was a bit chewy. Veal and chicken were good. I ordered the veal medium in terms of spice, and it arrived sweet. Tiramisu was amazon. Olives are good. Fries are more like frozen fries than homemade. Portions are very large for the price.
