Intoxicating smell of briny mixed olives and pungent cheeses upon entering the shop. Incredible pastas, particularly the cannelloni, which has been baked many times with a burgundy wine marinara and topped with fresh mozzarella for a show-stopping meal. Wonderful fresh pasta. Good, tangy buffalo mozzarella. Meatballs in sauce are too salty, an admonition of those who neglected to bake their own. Prompt, friendly service. Highly recommended.

As much as I enjoy homemade food and fresh ingredients, I have not yet attempted to make my own pasta.  Instead, I get fresh pasta from Talluto's when I'm feeling extravagant and fancy...it's an easy way to make an otherwise boring pasta dish special.  Yes, their egg pasta is delicious, but also be sure to try their whole wheat noodles.  They are a little gritter and nuttier tasting than the egg pasta and nothing short of INCREDIBLE.

Also, for someone who usually sticks to the dried supermarket pasta, I was really thankful that Talluto's includes detailed cooking instructions on the inside of the butcher paper they use to wrap the pasta.

5 stars for the fresh pasta. The fresh cut stuff is superior to any pasta I've had ANYWHERE (except Vetri).  It's been rolled thin enough that you can take it home and make some cannelloni or ravioli without having to roll it any further. If you get the timing correct and sauce it deftly you'll have a very special plate of noodles.

Don't "ask for a sheet" say: "may i have a pound of egg sheets" or maybe "may i have 1/2 pound of spinach and a 1/2 pound of egg pappardelle"  ya like that..

The frozen stuff is excellent as well. Drop some of those asiago tortellini's into chicken broth, add some reggiano and parsley, that's a command!

Talluto's rolls are very good.

You can only get by on Barilla for so long; eventually, all Italian food lovers find themselves slavering in front of the freezers at Talluto's.

Want designs or pretty colors on your pasta? You won't find any of those fake colors or flavors at Talluto's. Ingredients like squid ink are used to liven up the appearance of your favorite pastas.

Ravioli? Holy Cannoli!

This place carries oives, fresh mozz, oive oil, bread, etc. but I recommend you get all that at Di Bruno's or Claudios.

What you really come to Talluto's for is their fresh pasta. They have freezers that hold their freshly made ravioli, cavatellis, penne and sauces.   These are incredible.

HINT: For the adventurous chefs, just ask for a sheet of pasta to bring home, and then cut/mold your own pasta at home! (It will make you feel more accomplished, trust me).
