They've got all kinds of choices, something for every craving, including soups of the day, salads, and more. This time around, I had their Chicken Club sandwich and it was delicious and filling.

Ryan is the founder of the business, which he runs with family and friends. We got to meet Riott, his son, who had a love for skulls and all Halloween decorations at this eatery. This place specializes in sandwiches. Many of their meats are slow-cooked for ten hours. Sauces, soups, and slaw are homemade. We ordered many items off the menu and had what we liked: - Jalapeno and house slaws - Chickpea and ham soup - Roasted garlic and tomato soup - The Brooklyn (Italian) - Hot corned beef - Montreal smoked meat - Slicey's chopped chicken - Chicken club wrap I started with the hot corned beef sandwich. The corned beef was generous and so flavourful. The rye bread held all that tender corned beef together, along with the best grainy mustard aioli. I am a soup girl. I enjoyed the roasted garlic and tomato soup. It had the perfect amount of garlic with tomatoes, along with onions and spices. It was a comforting, smooth soup. The chickpea and ham soup was excellent. It had nice cubes of ham with chickpeas. It was so hearty and delicious. I also love slaw. The jalapeno and house slaws were crunchy. The former was creamy with a touch of heat. The latter was vinegar-based. You get the best of both slaw dressing worlds! I then had the Montreal smoked meat. It was full of the most tender smoked meat on rye bread with mustard. So good! I'm not sure how I managed to down Slicey's chopped chicken sandwich. It was so good that I did! It had slow-cooked chicken that was chopped with tomato, and red onion. It included the jalapeno slaw, along with white cheddar. It was messy to eat, but so worth it. The flavours were outstanding. This business supports other local businesses. The bread comes from a local bakery. It also features Purple Tongue hot sauces. Staff are super friendly and kind. They can craft a sandwich to your liking if you go with The Riott. There were two separate washroom stalls. I used one of them before I left this eatery. It was clean. No complaints. It's a comfortable place to hang out with friends over good food and drinks. I ended up having a Diet Coke and Crush cream soda during the two hours that we were here. They were cold and refreshing. It's street parking for three hours. It's free, which is nice. Alternatively, there is a parking lot across from this eatery. I look forward to returning for more good eats and soup. It's a gem of a sandwich place that happens to have awesome soups and slaw. (391)

You can read my previous review to learn more about Belaggios…read more I have upgraded my review because I finally really got into gelato. More about that later, at the end of the review. Belaggio's is close to my workplace (a school) and therefore if I need to pick up a lunch, I have to get back on time, plus having eaten the lunch. I generally judge food above all, but for a lunch place, time is of the essence. Let's say that I'm trying to grab a beautiful Belaggios Veal Sandwich because I accidentally (maybe) left my sad, bagged lunch of leftovers at at home.  So I have the excuse to go for some take out, and, at lunch, I don't have much time. I'm a teacher, and I don't want to be the person getting the late slip. That's why I need the servers to get it right, because I want to eat the right sandwich. The veal sandwich. The meatball sandwich is OK too, so if I accidentally get your meatball sandwich, I will enjoy it. However, this has not happened recently. Twice in a row, I have had a great veal sandwiches ... oh, I wish that you could taste them right now! The bread is excellent, too. I also went there on a Saturday evening and enjoyed their gelato. It was so delicious and creamy. The flavours of each gelato really shone through the creaminess. Perfect. This experience compelled me to buy a gelato/ice cream maker, so that I can try it at home. The price is high, but sometimes, you get what you pay for. Once you eat this gelato (and, get this, I HATE ice cream), there is no turning back. If you love gelato, or are looking for a good take out lunch, then go to Belaggio's now.

Belaggio's has been a reliable place for takeout Italian food in Durham region…read more Word of warning that there are no customer washrooms available in this establishment. Known for their excellent arancini rice balls, they serve arborio rice balls that are stuffed with ground veal in tomato sauce, sweet peas and mozzarella cheese. They have quite a menu that focuses on pasta and hot sandwiches. I love all types of pasta from white Alfredo sauce pasta, to rosé tomato-cream sauce pasta, or Bolognese sauce pasta, or tomato-basil pasta. They also have coffee, cannoli and gelato. On any given day customers drop by for their chicken parm, eggplant parm, ceasar salad, Calabrese, veggie, ham and cheese grilled panini, meatball or chicken or veal sandwiches. Be sure to add hot or sweet peppers, provolone or mozzarella cheese, onions, eggplant and mushrooms to give your sandwich extra flavours. I added green peppers to my veal sandwich and a very important point to add much needed extra sauce! The second veal sandwich I ordered was very dry, almost tasteless and had practically no tomato sauce on it. Wasn't sure if it always comes this dry? I hope not but am glad I asked for extra sauce on the second sandwich. Much needed! Their gelato is worth tasting if you have a sweet tooth.

With a closing time of 4:00pm, their menu features (all day) breakfast items, sandwiches, burgers, pasta, and a few entrees. There's a little bit of everything. In addition to traditional and classic Canadian fare, there's Mexican, Italian, Greek, Asian, South Asian, Cajun, and more. I think they got most bases covered. I ordered the Eggs Jenny, a variation of Eggs Benedict - two poached eggs on house made crab cakes with hollandaise sauce and home fries. The crab cakes, made with real crab (not surimi), were good but maybe not outstanding. The eggs were perfectly poached to my liking. The home fries were also good. The execution of this dish was very good but the hollandaise sauce was disappointing. It was thick, lumpy, and bland. I tried not to eat it. The restaurant was clean and the service was very good. The rest of the menu looks interesting enough, with reasonable pricing for me to come back. I just won't order anything with hollandaise.

I usually order for pick up and the portion to price ratio is pretty disrespectful. The "soup and…read moresalad" combo is $16+tax. You can get a side of Mac and cheese as the soup but $18 after tax for this tiny lunch is insane. I hope it's different as a dine in experience but even then, it should consistent if you're going to advertise your menu as a takeout menu as well. Shameful

While waiting for our food, I noticed remnants of past decor hanging from the surrounding walls and ceiling. Really? Overall, the food was just okay and the ambiance was below average. With similar restaurants in nearby proximity, I would think twice before returning.

Of course, I had to try their Signature Phillly Cheesesteak sandwich with Beef. They have lots of choices for toppings, cheeses, and sauces. With this being my first time, I left it up to the sandwich maker to choose for me. I think he got overly generous, piling on the toppings. This ended up being a fully loaded sandwich. It was thick! It was also quite tasty! Although pretty good, it was a little bit messy and hard to manage. The beef was getting lost under all the toppings. I'll definitely have to be a bit more selective next time. The fries were good, especially with a few squirts of their garlic sauce. Yummy! In addition to their bricks and mortar locations, they also operate several food trucks and are available to cater for special events all over the GTA and beyond.
