Talluto’s Authentic Italian Food

I drive over an hour to get to Talluto’s. The pasta selection is very good, unique flavor combinations and always well stockes. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly despite the always crowded store. We love the homemade burrata and black ink pasta.

My boyfriend and I came here to buy fresh homemade breadcrumbs and homemade tomato sauce. The sauce was lite and good. We loved the breadcrumbs, we used them to make breaded chicken. We loved walking around the shop to see what they had. We wanted to buy every type of ravioli but had to resist. We will definitely be back to try their homemade pastas.

Talluto’s will teach you about pasta. The friendly staff will take you on a tour of the world of fresh pastas, and you will enjoy yourself. The fresh pasta from Talluto’s cooks quickly and perfectly — it’s as authentic a product as you can buy.
The shop also has great cheeses and breads, as well as basic ingredients like olive oil if you’re in need.
Long story short: go here, and be happy.

Yum City.
I bought a groupon a while back for $ 25 worth of pasta/​products from Talluto’s.
Super quaint lil spot in the Italian Market with lots of frozen/​fresh pasta options. I chose the frozen lobster ravioli, rose sauce, and a package of frozen meatballs. We had the lobster rav with rose sauce last night and it was fantastic– still tasted super fresh and the sauce was lick-​the-​bowl-​good. Hoping the meatballs are just as impressive!

OK, I have to agree w/​the other reviewers. I am really really picky about my red sauce, or gravy as you all say here and this one at Talluto’s is stellar! Just enough acidity and a really bright flavor. Went perfectly with Talluto’s cheese ravioli. Which were also terrific. And I am NOT a ravioli fan in general. Can’t wait to work my way through their other fare.

YUMMMMM!!!
I had Talluto’s penne with meat balls in vodka sauce at the Italian Market Festival last month. They served up a great size bowl for the price and it was spot on! The sauce was full of flavor and thick. The balls were moist and delicate. The penne was cooked al dente to perfection.
Their name and website say it all, «Authentic Italian Food» (at least the way us American’s like Italian food). «…enter a Talluto’s store to find nearly 90 varieties of pasta, fresh Mozzarella Cheese made daily and many complementary Italian cuisine… all still served by Joe’s friends and family!» That is Philadelphia-​Italian for you.

Talluto’s is an small Italian deli-​style place specializing in house-​made pasta. They also sell antipasti of various kinds, artisan breads and some packaged imported products. Everything here is very good. However their mozzarella cheese is irreplaceable. It’s texture and taste is unlike any other in my experience. It is firm, never mushy or grainy, and has a nearly buttery flavor. It is a happy day when I have a container full to use in salad or place on pizza — and to just eat a few while I’m doing it.
The roasted red peppers are great too. Get some while you’re there getting the mozzarella.

Fresh mozz, best in philly. I wish I lived closer to 9^th

I’m really kicking myself in the butt right now. I live in SWP and for years I always noticed this lil italian pasta shop on the corner maybe a block from my house. I always wanted to go in there, but could never figure out the hours (or maybe I was procrastinating as usual who knows).
Anywho years ago a friend was staying with me and managed to make her way down to the lil italian shop and came back with what I to this day consider to be the best pasta/​marinara sauce I’ve ever tasted.
Ffwd to 2015. I needed some fresh pasta and a friend suggested that I visit Talluto’s. The service was great and the pasta was AMAZING. I will never buy pasta out of the grocery store again. When I walked up to the store the sign looked familiar, but I didn’t put two and two together. It wasn’t until I looked up the store that I realized that this gem had been sitting a block away from my house for idk how many yrs …
The original shop in southwest is closed now… sucks because I would be their #1 customer, but I understand. (Shout out to the nasty breakfast food spot that replaced it… yea that was an upgrade for sure *sarcasm*). I guess I will have to make that trip down to the Italian market when I don’t feel like making my own pasta, but as good as this pasta is, I don’t mind at all.
(I’m REALLY bummed about that original location closing though lol I just had this magical full circle moment like 5 min ago so the wounds are fresh)

Best homemade pasta I’ve ever eaten!!!
I purchased a pound of fresh cut angel hair, linguine & pappardelle and they all just melted in my mouth. I also purchased really good bread there too since Sarcone’s was closed.
The women were very helpful & they had a delightful variety at their olive bar.
I always stop here when in the city & so should you! Best pasta you will ever eat!

First time here and got the fresh cheese ravioli and homemade marinara. It was reasonably priced, and tastes amazing!!! The filling of the ravioli is creamy and light. The marinara sauce is perfectly spiced. Can’t wait to go back

Talluto’s is the store in the Italian market where you can get great, fresh, handmade pasta… that should be enough to get you here, to be honest. Fresh pasta is the the thing I most remember from my trip to Italy, and you can get close to it right here in the Italian market.
I bought some sweet potato gnocchi, as well as the scallion sauce that they recommended with it. I also bought some of their handcut pappardelle (you can choose a long pasta and they will hand cut it for you — how cool is that?!). The pappardelle was really, really good — really had that fresh taste to it. The gnocchi was pretty good too, but honestly wasn’t much better than other gnocchi I’ve cooked at home from a package.
Overall, I definitely recommend poking your head in here when you visit the Italian market. Even if it’s just for the idea of fresh pasta!

While on previous visits to Philadelphia’s 9^th St Italian Market, I never had the opportunity to visit this store. I finally had the opportunity to visit today!
The retail floor of Talluto’s is not large, they pack plenty of Italian goodness into a compact space. The line to check out is rather long, but the wait is definitely worth it. It’s a difficult task trying to figure out what kind of pasta you want to take home, since the selection is so wide. They also have an assortment of pre-​prepared Italian food to go.
We settled on some chicken Parmesan to go, along with a very expensive bottle of imported balsamic vinegar. Just in time for Easter, we were also able to buy a Panettone cake imported from Italy.
So impressed with the selection and prices, I’ll make it a regular visit on future visits to the Italian Market.

This is my go-​to spot for fresh cut pasta in the Italian market. Just walk up to the counter and order which type you’d like and they cut it from sheets right there by the window. The store is also full of other goodies like fresh cheeses, Italian meats, olive oil, frozen raviolis and the like.
The one draw back is that the store is incredibly small for the amount of food they have and the food can tend to be a little expensive. It is on the higher quality end though so that’s to be expected.
Be prepared to wait in line if you stop in on the weekend or during a busy tourist time.

The rose sauce had me literally licking my plate clean in front of my boyfriend while he made jokes about how we’ve become too comfortable around each other. I had it with the lobster ravioli which was good, but I wouldn’t actually rate any better than Trader Joe’s lobster ravioli (which I like a lot). I would consider this to be a must see on the Italian Market.

Been coming here for years and the quality never disappoints! Best fresh pasta around. Excellent «gravy». Marinated mozz is fantastic; as is the frozen asiago tortellini & raviolis. Nice selection of olives. Got some real nice stacked eggplant parm kinda thing at the counter. What’s not to love about this place?

Meatballs. Meatballs. Marinara. Meatballs.
Enough said.

We enjoy Talluto’s, particularly the cheese ravioli. But our latest experience was just bad. First of all, the employee was obviously very annoyed when I didn’t tell her every type of fresh cut pasta at once. Sorry, I didn’t know that’s what the protocol was. No need to be snippy… I was the only person in the shop so it’s not like I was holding up the huge line of people that frequent on weekends. Then, there was something very wrong with the whole wheat pasta… it tasted like straight up vinegar. I emailed to inquire… it was completely inedible so we had to throw it (and the meal we used it in) out. The responding woman ensured me she would look into the issue and get back to me ASAP. I never heard back. I followed up, never received a response. Very unfortunate that the customer service was subpar.

Great fresh pasta with some variety: whole grain, regular, spinach, saffron, and squid ink. Great frozen pasta: ravioli, crepes, tortellini, gnocchi, capellini. Great fresh mozzarella. Nice selection of oils.
Cramped, but awesome.

Picked up fresh pasta sheets for lasagna here and it was amazing! I never used fresh pasta for lasagna before but now I will never go back. The texture is silky smooth and you don’t have to boil the noodles beforehand, and the baking time is reduced to only 30 minutes.
They have TONS of different kinds of fresh pastas available– egg, spinach, tomato, whole wheat and black squid ink pasta. I will definitely make this my weekly stop for fresh pasta!
