| - Very similar to San Remo (on the West-end), Lazar (in Mississauga), Monastery (Oakville) or any large, Italian bakery for that matter.
Tre Mari seems to be an institution on St. Clair W., and it has a section where bread is displayed, a counter for deli meats & cheese, 2-3 sections with various pastries and baked goods, a gelato section, a hot table, and a coffee bar. This place is pretty big!
Choose what you want at the various counter(s), you may have to take a number for the pastries, then cash out in the front. The experience can be a bit intimidating, especially when it's busy, and it was on a Sunday afternoon.
I had a Nata tart - pretty good, not sickeningly sweet - and a pistachio cannoli which was really good, pastry was actually crispy which is rare. Well, at least I haven't had one with a crispy pastry in a while.
Tons of people seated inside/out, eating gelato, a veal sandwich, sipping an espresso. So they can't be all wrong, right? Staff was pretty friendly. No attitude here. Interior can use some updating.
