In 2012, Frank and his wife, Deseree, had a craving for something that was missing in Whitby: veal sandwiches comparable to those made famous in Toronto. "Both my wife and I had former pizza experience with one of the biggest restaurant chains in Ontario," says Frank, "and after many years in the pizza business, we decided to open up our own."
Today, Mancini's Veal Sandwiches & Panzerotti is known not only for its veal sandwiches and panzerotti but also for grilled panini, fresh salads and pasta – all served in a comfortable and casual dining environment.
But it's not just about the food. "One of the main reasons we opened the restaurant was to bring our vision of great food and friendly customer service to life," says Frank. "It's personally rewarding to be in a business and speak to customers."
I’m a big fan of Mancinis. Have been getting their veal sandwiches for years and never let me down. Their chef Josh is always on point and the place makes for a friendly environment.
It’s hard to find a good veal sandwich. Usually the veal is tough and there is more bun than veal. Mancini,s didn’t disappoint me on either point, the veal was tender and the perfect amount.
