Our restaurant was founded in 2004, serving home-made authentic Italian sandwiches. Having spent over a decade in Italy cooking and learning the Italian way to prepare food - we only serve the very best quality sandwiches. Renowned for our real full monty (breaded real sandwich with the works) and of course our home-made tomato dance. Catering is available too for private or office functions! We only use the best and highest quality fresh foods to make our sandwiches pastas and salads Everything made fresh dailymore...See more text
Simply put, if you have 30 minutes to wait to get a basic chicken sandwich then this is the place is for you. The customer service is absolutely terrible and they are way overpriced for the area. You can get a much more complete sandwich anywhere in Toronto, including Yorkville, for half of the price. Very disappointing and almost ignorant on their behalf to charge those prices for a mediocre sandwich. Furthermore, the staff is rude and very slow. Never go to this place.
Similar to a recent reviewer, I was pretty disappointed to discover just how much of the $9 sandwich I ordered was actually breadding. The paper-thin veal looked actually quite pathetic when analyzed, so if you want to order a great tasting, filling meal, Sinatra's offers just that, however the excess breading will prevent us from eating there as often as we might have.
I am so disappointed. I've been eating Sinatra's sandwiches for a while now, and always found them delicious. Today, I happened to peel away the breading from the veal sandwich, and without exaggeration, found that the veal was thin as a sheet of paper. They put 4 slices on 1 sandwich, I thought that was so generous. Now I feel a bit grossed out that I was mostly eating just breading, and top of a large bun. No wonder the sandwiches are so filling. Last week I tried the meataball sandwich and thought it was tasty also. Except there also seemed to be a lot of filler in the meatballs. I figured that was just their recipe. Now I'm thinking maybe they're just sneaky. Based on this, I'm not sure I'll be going back. I don't mind paying for a good sandwich, but bread on top of bread is not a sandwich.
The roomer around towm is that Sinatra's has the best veal sandwiches in durham.We decided to take the test? We ordered the chicken parmesan,steak and a veal sandwich.Boy O Boy are the rumors right !!!! It smelt like walking into your mothers kitchen for Sunday supper, the sandwiches were fantastic and we will definatley be returning.....Way to go SINATRA's!!!!!
It is not easy to find an good Italian restaurant in Oshawa, until i took my family to Sinatra's, the aroma that was coming out of the kitchen was mouth watering, the food is good enough to brag about it. I found it to be fast service, hot food, and yes it's Italian just like my mama's kitchen. Even my kids loved it. From now on Veal is it. Sinatra's here we come again and again........
I eat at Sinatra's many times throughout the course of a month. The sandwiches are huge and personally the perfect size for what I want. It is always good, always the same. The staff is always friendly. The sauce is excellent on the sandwiches, when it melts the cheese on the sandwich....heaven.
My wife suggested we try Sinatra's on the suggestion of her co-worker. First disappointment was paying a .50 cent charge to use debit. Our food took 10 minutes to be made and the business seemed to be dis-organized for a Saturday afternoon. The sausage was reheated and had little flavour. The veal was large but not anything special. The sauce is little more than stewed tomatoes which was badly in need of some spices to give it a true Italian taste. I don't think the owner's of this establishment are providing a truly Italian experience and we will not return.
Awesome sandwiches absolutely huge! Sauce is so tasty. Chicken Parm is what I had will come back! Reasonable in price friendly service! Tons of people that I work with eat there all the time and love no complaints, a wonderful addition to Oshawa!

Wanted to try this place for a while and we have mixed impressions on it. First: the Veal sandwich with eggplant and cheese, tasty and a good size however the sauce was a little bland. The spicy olives as a side was a nice touch. Second: Two sandwiches, one small side of olives and two drinks $25 with tax, a little pricey for a quick lunch for two. Third: This is the issue I have: with an open kitchen concept , I could not believe the cook (a young lady) and counter-person (another young lady) both were wearing TANK-TOPS (no sleeves). If this was an older hairy man wearing a tank-top, no-one would eat there. Totally unsanitary and inappropriate. Someone please cover the pits!
We have been to Sinatra's twice, and we find their sandwiches very filling (difficult for me to finish), and tasty. It would be nice if one topping was free (although the hot peppers are), and the veal is very thin, but these are minor complaints. I don't know if they are still doing this, but we were charged on our first visit for using debit. Overall, we really enjoy Sinatra's and would recommend it to others.

This restaurant is my favourite place to go get a sandwich that will last me until the next day! I love getting a chicken sandwich to eat half now and and save the rest for later! It is such a HUGE sandwich.. for 10 dollars?? Really?? Its amazing. I recommend EVERYONE go in an just try it! Do not let the immature and arrogant individuals who make their opinion known in a very unconstructive fashion dictate your own opinion. You have your OWN mind and OWN taste buds! Go on in and meet the staff and have a hot wonderful sandwich!
fan-friggin-tastic!
a comment asking about the supposed 80 yr old women working there? i dont think so - i hardly know the owners however i have been here at leadt 3 times a month since it opened and have been treated well fromt he first time to my last!
i love the sauce and i love the cheese i don't mind paying extra for real food.
the staff are all exceptional - they all act as if they r in a family and i appreciate that.
there is a girl who works there who wears glasses who seriously makes one of the best sandwiches there.. shes great! next time i go i will ask her name.
This is a great restaurant, an amazing value for...
This is a great restaurant, an amazing value for the amount of food you get and the food actually tastes like something impressive (unlike other sandwich places) The staff is friendly, considerate and you can really tell that they are a family run business of totally un-related people. The atmosphere is always cheery and friendly when you enter and the smell of the kitchen is to die for! As a vegetarian who has a difficult time finding things to eat around durham i have been completely satisfied with the eggplant parmesean that sinatras offers. It is cooked to perfection every time and it is nice to have a restaurant finally take notice of the vegetarian community and product an amazing sandwhich instead of just makeing a sandwhich without the meat.. this is one for the record books! I have and will keep returning to Sinatras so long as i live in oshawa! i can't wait for more franchises to open! GREAT JOB!
also for those complaining about prices - get a life!! go to mcdonalds if you want somethign cheap and discusting - the fact that this is real food that is made to order and tastes like it is supposed to warrents paying far more than 10 dollars! I don't know where you are thinking of where you receive amazing service, friendly conversation and above all - great filling and real food for less than 10... get over youself and open your wallet to the amazingness going on at this restaurant!
i have brought my significant other to this place of business, he is the head chef at a fine dining restaurant that is upscale. he loves this place.
well this is my first time writing on this site...
well this is my first time writing on this site and I am pleased to say it is a for a good review..
moved from TO about 3 years ago and have not found city food out in durham but this has changed since i found sinatras...their veal is awesome. Dont need to travel to the city anymore for a decent italien sandwich. Just loved it!!
Since we discovered Sinatra's, we eat there at least two times a week, their sandwiches are amazing. The restaurant has such a refreshing atmosphere, and the staff is very friendly , always smiling. I've read some of the reviews complaining of the cost. I've yet to find a place in Oshawa where you get a clean place, good food that is very satisfying all for under $10. There is an old saying "you get what you paid for" with Sinatra's you get more.
i have been a customer of sinatra's for two years, my mother and i started going there on our way to visit her aunt in the hospital just down the road. going to sinatra's is one of the greatest treats for our family. the employees are always friendly and ready to take your order. one time we were there at a very busy time and everyone was still smiling and able to get our order ready in ten minutes! after going to sinatra's many times we recomended it to our neighbours, when they went in the owner was there sporting a black head band, "how delightful and refreshing" they explained.
furthermore, i live in whitby, and i have even WALKED all the way to sinatra's just to have a delicious sandwhich! i invite all my friends to visit and the ones that do, always return again and again!
as for the atmosphere, well i have got to say, having been to italy three times... stepping into sinatra's is like stepping right back into all those lovely little cafes i experienced in italy! from the beautifully painted walls and menu, to the great selection of Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin music i have heard (just to name a few), even the aroma of fresh espresso and tomato sauce all add to the amazing atmosphere sinatra's creates.
okay, enough about the fluffy stuff, lets get to the good stuff, the food! their sandwhiches are HUGE, not only is the sandwhich huge, so is the flavour! right out of a quaint little house in italy, amazing tomato sauce paired perfectly with any one of their delicious sandwhiches. if you are looking for something a little different, try the eggplant parmisiano with ALL the toppings! every time i have gone in there the food has been great, always cooked just right and always with tons of flavour. if anybody thinks otherwise, i would suggest seeing a doctor about their taste buds.
in conclusion, i do not mind paying $10 a sandwhich, when you think about it you are getting an entire meal, AND if you walked into a KFC or even pizza hut, you will pay twice as much for lesser quality and quantity food! i bet any money there is more sauce on one sinatra's sandwhich than on an entire pizza!
I have tried Sinatra's for the second tme, and will not return. As others have said, the sandwiches are huge BUT, completely tasteless and way over-priced. All three people in my party agree that this place is not worth a return visit. By the time that you pay extra for topping, you are over $10.00 with a drink. I don't see the buzz about the sauce either - nothing special. Why can we not get a decent veal place in Durham??
i would recommend this restaurant to all of my italian relations the flavor of the sauce was like my nana's the veal and chicken remarkable. after the price is forgotton the flavor lingers on nana sheila
I just love this place...the food is great and for what it's worth, I tell all my friends to go there! It is always cooked fresh and served up so hot! The sauce rocks and it is good to see the small guy making it in a "chain food" world...I highly recommend!!!
