Although the best product from this place is the the porchetta sandwich. I decided to go for the chicken salad and its my favourite salad. healthy Fresh and very tasty. Buy the cheese from the counter which is not included in the salad. And its perfect!
Amazing shop. The porchetta sandwich is ridiculously good! Definitely worth it, no wonder it's their specialty.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because we purchased steaks and one of them was very unevenly cut, to the point that the thickness was 1/2" on one side and 1"on the other. That made it really difficult to cook and I expect much better from a butcher of this quality. The meat was cut in the back versus right in front of you which we found a little odd, prefer to see it cut in front of us. Will definitely be back but hoping they will improve on those aspects.

Vicentina's one of the popular meat shops in the city. I first heard about it when an Italian friend brought out a skewer grill and made us some fine lamb spiedini (speducci). It was as I remembered it from the Taste of Little Italy, and I've frequented here since for their spiedini boxes.
But Vicentina is more than just a meat shop, it's also known for porchetta roast and its panino/sandwich bar. I recall their fresh porchetta sandwich was decent yet it turns out their grilled steak sandwich is even more delicious. The process is simple: just make your order (meat, bread, toppings), wait for your number to be called, and then go up to the grill counter to wrap and collect your meal. Prices have increased slightly but within the soft kaiser buns was a good portion of sliced steak - fresh, succulent, tender and very well-flavoured. I'm already looking forward to trying it again next time.
Their panino bar does get crowded for lunch but many people just take out their sandwiches. I ended up cutting the sandwich myself after unwrapping it. Vicentina's not exactly convenient to find nestled in an industrial park up in Vaughan. However it's always a worthwhile visit.
