“Tiny Market is a great addition to the city! They've had a brick and mortar presence since around early 2022, and seem to have cultivated a devoted following from locals in the neighbourhood. I visited for some pasta to make at home, and it was striking how the staff knew other customers by name.This is not a restaurant. Probably the closest comparison to it is a certain pasta maker on Geary Avenue. Tiny Market serves a takeout lunch, a tasting menu, retail options, and you can also take a pasta class. Since I bought some spaghetti to go, I'll speak to that in this review.The spaghetti came in bags indicating it should be boiled from frozen. Although I sometimes freeze fresh pasta, I don't want to receive it frozen, so I immediately raised my eyebrow at that. However, it had a pleasant snap when cooked al dente, so the texture was perfect. It released a ton of gluten when I was boiling it: the water in the pot was really murky when I poured it through a strainer (after reserving some for the sauce — this isn't my first time cooking pasta!). I'm not sure what that means, but this isn't a pasta I would boil in its sauce (not that I do that anyway, but that's a whole other story). I made a pretty simple tomato sauce as an accompaniment, and it turned out great.In addition to pasta there are all sorts of interesting retail options at Tiny Market, so I'd encourage you to visit and peruse. If you come back enough times, the staff will probably learn your name as well.“
“Support a Small Business!Carlos was extremely friendly and helpful during my visit at the store! He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the products he had.All the products are reasonably priced / affordable and an added bonus is that he has a recycling program for the glass jars the sauces and soups come in!I will definitely be back as a repeat customer.“
“Each time I enter this shop, I feel like I’ve come home! Sabrina and Loretta make everything with love and they don’t take any shortcuts. I was convinced that they owned the shop because they invest so much time, attention, and passion into everything they do. Their “nonna” imparted her knowledge and love of food to these two special ladies, and they in turn share it with their customers. Everything I have every ordered from them is amazing! I recently purchased a southern italian specialty (authentic donuts made with potatoes) and my entire family loved them! If you enter the shop even just once, you are guaranteed to become repeat customers.“
“Worth the hype! Famiglia Baldassarre is serving up some of the best and freshest pasta in the city. Their pastas are unique but full of love and deliciousness. If you come 30min before they open they're usually is no line however don't fret if you cannot make it that early - the line moves fast! 100% would recommend as this is one of the best pasta places in the city!“
“I grew up going to National Noodles when they were in North York. I have never been disappointed. Excellent quality fresh pasta at reasonable price. They cut the sheets of lassagna so it fits my tray perfectly. You have to try the stuffed pasta-it is amazing, my kids all time favorite.“
“I purchased a pre-made Eggplant Parmigiana in a local market and was blown away!!! I am super fussy about anything with tomato sauce and my partner is a chef: we both LOVED it!! Excited to try their other products and to visit in person! Highly recommend!!“
“Very Accommodating to Film and Television Productions. A month ago, we ordered two large meat Lasagnas for my daughter's engagement party. They were delicious, succulent, and easily passed the Nonna test.We ordered another for Thanksgiving. Highly recommended.“
“What a customer service! Amazing welcoming warm atmosphere and professional staff! Italian products, freshly made pasta, pizza dough and many more. Tasty sweet treats, lobster tails, amaretti cookies, espresso and hot chocolate! What a hidden gem! ?“
