Talluto’s Authentic Italian Food

This place is my heaven. Authentic Italian goodies of all shapes and sizes. Their homemade pastas and sauces are some of the best I’ve ever had, but I truly go there for everything they have behind the counter. You’ll find everything from marinated artichokes, mushrooms and more, to different varieties of stuffed mushrooms, pepper shooters (the BEST, especially the red ones!), and a ton of other options. They’ve also got dry and canned goods, some of which are hard to find elsewhere.
I’ve never had their sandwiches, but I’ve heard those are excellent, too. They have a huge olive bar (not my thing) and a whole case of different meats and cheeses, some cured or made in house, include homemade burrata! Seriously, you have to try this place. So happy I heard about it. Only trick is NOT spending my whole paycheck in there. Not because it’s so expensive, but because I want ALL THE THINGS. Yum!

(4) ~ very good overall food & service. Located in an Industrial park, but has a strong following from word-​of-​mouth;) It’s small, about 10′ X 10′, but they pack a lot in there;) And yes they take Credit Cards.
OUR MENU:
** FRESH Mozzarella (Large & salted) = (4.5) Very Good! Finally a place to get fresh mozzarella in the ‘burbs!;) Best we’ve had in the area!:) NOTE: You have to ask for it, b/​c they get it from the back;)

This place gets a rare 5-​star review. In the middle of nowhere basically — kind of an industrial park — but when I lived at home, it was a treat to get a sandwich from here because it was always fresh, cheese and meat were top notch, etc.
I visited the place a few times, and it was pretty much packed with italian brand food, and little old women. There are a lot of places in the area that cater to the italian american community — but this one is kind of off the beaten path and BY FAR the highest quality. I almost hesitated writing a review because I’d prefer it to stay hidden.

Get sheets of pasta for lasagna. It is fantastic. Each sheet is a third of a pound. Use 4 – 5 sheets for a medium lasagna six or seven-​8 for gonzo thick one. Pile ricotta sauce spinach and what have you. Awesome.
Their hoagies and hot products are to die for. Raviolis, amazing.
My wife loves their sauce. She thinks it’s the best in the country, on the planet, in the world, in the universe and in our lifetime. Even dead people still talk about it.
And don’t forget a fresh-​baked bread to go.

Plain and simple– I love Talluto’s. In an area saturated with Italian cuisine, Talluto’s stands far above the rest. You’ll notice the difference the moment you enter the tiny store space. Everyone is friendly here– the staff and customers alike. The products are authentic and delicious, from their pastas (including a myriad of raviolis stuffed with everything from beef to lobster) to their sauces (sage sauce, rose, vodka…) to their antipastos (cured meats, cheeses, stuffed vegetables and olives, to name a few). A couple of their cheeses, such as the ricotta, are made fresh in-​house.
If you’re looking for a great sandwich, the chicken cutlet Talluto is perfection; breaded and pan-​fried chicken ccutlets, roasted red peppers, marinated mozzarella balls, and prosciutto on freshly baked bread.
Ordering on location can result in a bit of a wait, so you may want to call orders in.

Whenever I’m in town, I pack a cooler in the trunk and fill it with Talluto’s products, which means I’ll eat well for the next couple of weeks. I love the Italian cold cut sandwich and order it «for travel.» It arrives home several hours later in perfect condition (bread is not soggy). You can’t beat the value here especially with the roast beef special ($ 15 for 6 rolls, a pound of roast beef and gravy). One only has to be a semi-​skilled re-​heater to have a home-​cooked meal of pasta, puttanesca sauce and meatballs. The entire staff is friendly and helpful, especially Rick and Louise. If I continue with the positive ravings, people will think I’m related (truth is, I wish I were)!

This place is a great little hidden gem tucked away on a side street in an unassuming lot. Do not be fooled by its location, as this place is almost always packed, albeit the space is as big as a shoebox. Inside you will find a shop reminiscent of their south philly shop, full of a refrigerated case stocked with homemade raviolis and sauce, as well as a deli counter stocked full of all the classics: garlic spinach, broccoli rabe, longhots, pepperonata, etc. All delicious, all homemade, purely old school italian at its finest! Stop here for lunch and load up on a few ½ pints of their fresh veggie salads, just be prepared to wait!

Great hoagie. You get a lot for the price.

This place makes the BEST pasta I’ve ever had. I grew up on P&S in Philly, and this blows them out of the water.
There’s nothing bad here. Even the pickiest eater will enjoy anything you serve up from here.
Want a sandwich? Skip Primo and come here. Their bread and sandwiches are WAY better!

Obsessed with this place. They ask your name and treat you like family. The price is worth every bite. It’s overwhelming how much they offer. It’s takes way more than one visit to take it all in.

We bought lunch here today. I had a South Philly Pulled Pork Sandwich, while my co-​workers had sausage & peppers, and Italian hoagies. Let me just start by saying I’ve been spoiled by the great Italian cooking on my wife’s side of the family. Talluto’s sandwiches are fantastic, and the portion sizes are quite generous («food baby» portions). We will be making this a regular lunch stop from now on. I also plan to buy some of their fresh pastas and some cheese from there in the future as well, as we tried samples and were pleased.

this place is super tiny, but there is so much food in here. the homeade pasta is so fresh and delicious. the sandwiches are amazing and huge. they will customize your sandwich any way you like.
they have an olive bar, and other selections like calamari salad, stuffed peppers, pasta salads, and other italian classics. they also sell cookies and candies.
it’s cramped, so if it gets busy you will feel like a sardine in a can, but the food is worth the claustrophobia.

Outside of the Italian market, this is the best place to get fresh mozzarella and pasta. Try the mushroom ravioli. Sauces are delish, too. I’m a fan of the rosa and marinara. The store itself is tiny but service is great and it also means that I don’t have to drive all the way to 9^th street to get my cheese and pasta (that can save A LOT of money if you drive a very dearly-​beloved SUV like I do).

Im a sucker for Italian Specialty Shops and this is one of the best! Not only do they have many imported items available, but they also do catering, bake their own bread, and make hoagies\sandwiches that are some of the best in the area. Try one of their Italian Hoagies, it will knock your socks off.
Personally, I work about 10 minutes from here and we pickup lunch here about 3 times a month, never disappointed. I do suggest you call in your hoagie orders! They get very busy at lunch time and there isn’t much room in this little shop, so do yourself a favor and call it in…
Altho it can be pricey, I’ve never had an issue being treated poorly by the staff here. Yes, they are busy, but rude… not the least…

If you are looking for delicious, authentic Italian food in the Norristown area, you can end your search!
I just discovered Talluto’s last week, and can’t believe I have been living within 5 miles of this Italiano mecca for over a year with no idea. While grumbling up and down the Genuardi’s aisles looking for spinach fettuccine, I made my way to customer service to find out if they did in fact sell this lovely delicacy. I met a kind customer service lady who took pity on me and the lack of good pasta available, and sent me on my way to Talluto’s. It is located back in an industrial park and you would never drive by if you didn’t know it was there. The entire store is about 15 feet by 15 feet, packed top to bottom with every kind of Italian delicacy you could conjure up. Raviolli! Gnocchi! Gravy! Anything else that ends in a vowel! They cut the pasta up as you wait, flour it, and lovingly, tenderly, wrap it in paper to take home with you.
I must say, it was a claustrophobic experience for me, and is certainly not a place to browse leisurely, but if you need an Italian delicacy and you’re in the area, Talluto’s is the place to go.

This place is a real area secret. Tucked away in an industrial setting, you’ll find one of the most fantastic Italian markets around. From the fresh pasta (which they cut and weight while you wait) to the delectable homemade marinara, this is the real deal. Don’t forget tasty sides like marinated mozzarella balls and fresh olives. The meatballs are giant and fantastic. Choose from any of their sauces and pastas and you will not be dissapointed!

Awesome homemade pastas! I stopped in here on the suggestion of my manicurist who is a Norristown native. Never would have guessed this tiny, adorable Italian market would be tucked away in the industrial park. The shop is small but they have a great selection of the classic Italian grocery staples, as well as a meat, cheese, and antipasto counter. They must have atleast 20 varieties of homemade fresh pasta and ravioli. I bought the broccoli rabe ravioli and the mushroom and spinach ravioli. Both were huge hits. The filling was delicious and generous! They had samples out for customers. The panettone bread pudding was delish! I highly recommend, especially if you want to put together a quick dinner that will impress. Prices seem reasonable… more than grocery store, but you’re getting impeccable quality and an unbelieveable selection of options.

I disagree with Steven and Kate. Today was my first time stepping into Talluto’s and I was warmly greeted by two employees the second I walked in, and even though there were a few people in line, they assured me that would be with me in a few seconds. I had time to walk around and see all the great Italian imports and pastas. I have never seen such delicious looking food all in one place. All the prices seemed fair, and I ended up spending less than I thought I would. I had some questions and the staff was happy to answer all of them. The service was impeccable, and I have no hesitations about going back again. I recommend Talluto’s to everyone, if you looking for dinner, lunch, or even breakfast (they had a delicious sausage, potato and cheese omelet that I plan on eating tomorrow morning) !!

This is a great shop — offering ingredients, prepared dishes and terrific subs. But they really suffer from a service problem. While some staff is friendly the overall tone is brusque and sometimes hostile!
If you are looking for good fresh pasta, imported prosciutto, homemade mozarella and a full compliment of italian ingredients, it is really the best place to go. But be prepared to spend a lot of money and be treated poorly.
There used to be an older man (relative to the staff) who took good care of the customers, he seemed to be the owner or a higher level manager. I don’t see him as often and standards have gone downhill.
Oh also the frozen entrees are great — stock up and have some lasagna or manicotti on hand.
And they make great cannolis.
