Famiglia Baldassarre, best known to local diners for its much-sought after pasta lunches that attracted lineups around the block and helped transform Geary Avenue into “the coolest street in Toronto,” will shut its restaurant next month.
Owner Leandro Baldassarre announced this week that Aug. 14 will be the last day of lunch service — including takeout — at his small production kitchen at 122 Geary Ave. He told the Star he wants to focus on his wholesale fresh-pasta business for restaurants and grocers.
