Tre Mari Bakery - Toronto

The bakery is simply mouthwatering. As a child, I would press my face against the glass display, captivated by all the fresh pastries. Everything looks enticing! The almond cookies are wonderfully soft and delicious, and the cannoli—it's hard to choose; they all look and taste amazing. Pair any of these treats with a cappuccino or espresso for the perfect experience. The cake display is so tempting that you'll want to buy everything. And let’s not forget about the gelato—absolutely delightful! I have to be careful not to indulge too much! Save your plane ticket to Italy for food because there’s an extraordinary bakery right around the corner. The staff is incredibly friendly as well.

We opted for the Premium Meal ($9.95 each), with her choosing lasagna and me picking eggplant. Each meal came with two sides—she had a rice ball and gnocchi, while I had a rice ball and broccoli. We were offered extra sauce and grated Parmesan, which we happily accepted. Although they offered us a small Italian bread roll, we decided to skip it since the meals looked quite substantial. Both dishes were excellent. The lasagna featured about six layers of pasta and was generously filled with cheese and beef. My eggplant was also multi-layered and perfectly cooked, making it easy to cut. The sauce added a nice zesty flavor that complemented the meal. One minor downside was that the broccoli was only warm and could have been served hotter. Overall, it was a delightful and satisfying lunch.

I love the old world charm this place refuses to leave behind after all these years. This place is a staple in Corso Italia. My wife's grandfather goes almost everyday! It's this kind of allure that drove me to love the place. The bread and pastries are fantastic and I would cry if they ever closed.

I truly enjoy the taste of the freshly baked crusty bread and buns! This bakery in the Corso Italia neighborhood is steeped in tradition, from its desserts to the hot counter selections. I always make a point to visit whenever I’m in the area. Be sure to try the sfoglia (pastry)!

Just was there to have the excellent porchetta with all the sides of your choice. Forgot to take a photo 'cause I was so hungry. You can also get fantastic breads, cheeses and Italian cold cuts.
