My wife's cousin from St. Catharines came up to Woodbridge to drive his wife to my sister in law's baby shower. We ended up going to Sinopli's to have a late lunch because I got up to Woodbridge a little late so we didn't eat till after 2pm.
He knew of this place from a while ago and a while ago before that even. He used to come to this area for something having to do with soccer but he was telling me how he discovered that Sinopli's used to be a place on St. Clair under a different name way back in the day. He used to go to a place in the city which disappeared and he never saw it again until he went to Sinopli's and discovered this place moved up to Woodbridge and opened up as Sinopli's.
The first thing I noticed is that they have a really large far away sort of take out menu on the wall so this place is both a eat in a sit down place.
We didn't order anything too heavy even though I was sort of starving. It was my first meal of the day and being well into the early afternoon after waking up before 9am well I was starting to get dizzy.
We had each ordered a veal panini and we also ordered a panzorotti with pepperoni, mushrooms and green peppers.
The food eventually came and I was so hungry I could have had 3 sandwiches. The sandwich I ordered with cheese, medium pepper (hotness). The sandwich to me was just alright. It could have had more inside and perhaps I'm just used to how much meat California Sandwiches puts into theirs. Still, this place is not a fast food place and it's much more diverse of a menu. It's more of a real Italian place.
The panzo came on one big plate and it was the size of the plate too. I had asked for another plate since we'd be splitting it. This panzo was done just the way I like, FRIED yes fried the real deal here, not that baked stuff but fried dough with plenty of stuffing inside.
I had to say I was still hungry when we were done but I think that mostly had to do that this was basically my breakfast, lunch and early dinner all in one. I waited much too long to eat that day so I sort of did it to myself.
The portion sizes were basically normal, not huge, not tiny but just decent. The quality was good to above average I'd have to say and the prices weren't out of line for what we received.
The service was friendly and the place had a nice ambiance. It's sort of a small place and sort of stand alone in this strip mall. read more
