a month agoA friend went to pick up some of this famous pasta and asked if I wanted any. I do not regret saying yes. Some of the best fresh pasta I’ve ever had, and knowing what I’ve heard about them supplying some of the best Italian restaurants in the city, I believe it. I got the Tagliatelle and it was buttery, perfect and had next level texture and elasticity, instead of instantly breaking when twirling up onto the fork. The portions are very deceiving too, you think you need the whole box and you don’t. One box would serve two to three people. Amazing and delicious. Now I have to visit during lunch for their hot meals. Can’t wait

a month agoDelicious fresh pasta! I first visited this place two years ago, have been enjoying it ever since. It’s a tiny pasta shop with a long line, so I like to try everything when I come in. Thankfully, they always have a veggie pasta on the menu.

a month agoThis amazing place has awesome, truly genuine Italian flavours. The pasta, cook al dente, is made right in front of you. They give all you can eat bread, but there are few things you must know: there is little seating, there is usually a long lineup, and they are only open from 12 pm to 2 pm. With all these, every bite is truly perfect, and worth the wait. Get there before 11:30 am if you want to sit down, but no later than 1300, as you may not be serve (they close at 14:00,sharp, no exceptions). Truly a Michelin guide worthy spot!!

3 weeks agoLining up for an hour in the sun for Famiglia Baldassare's fresh pasta truly is the real Torontonian experience. This is my favorite fresh pasta in Toronto and I always love to try whatever daily pasta they are making that day. I also love their fresh mozzarella ball! Make sure you bring some water and some shade while you wait in line, I saw someone about to faint after being in line for so long.

a month agoThe food was amazing and the service was impeccable. We got there at 11:25 which is 35 minutes before opening and we were like the 15th on the line. By the time we got to the count it was 12:40, it was all worth it. My only recommendation would be a tent or some shadow to for the people waiting outside. I almost fainted as it was very hot. I took my mother in law and she had to go sit on the sidewalk across the street.
