I tried this place for the eggplant hero. Trying to discover the spots in the area for the best ones. This one was okay and pretty average. In my opinion it could've been way more cheese. It was just sauce and eggplant. However, it had a very good amount of eggplant and that was a plus. The bread was nice and toasty and soaked up the flavor of the eggplant and the sauce. Overall, this sandwich was not bad. It just wasn't a favorite. read more

Papa Pasquale Ravioli Co. - The Dyker Heights Hero - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Between Lioni and Papa Pasquale, Bensonhurst just might have the father and daughter team that work together to bring you some of the tastiest heroes that Brooklyn has to offer. Interestingly enough, the two establishments are right next to each other. This establishment is an Italian deli meets a butcher shop. However, you want to come here for a hero, that is the draw here, and the frozen pasta. I got my namesake hero, the Coney Island, and it is delicious. Thankfully he has a few tables outside to enjoy them. The hero is a bit heavy on the mustard, but it is beyond tasty. All the meats on it (sorry, I am too lazy this time to put them all in this review) work beautifully. The American cheese is a great binding agent like I thought it would be. The bread is perfect. The owner is fun and old fashioned and that is what makes this hero shop worth making a visit for when lunch is calling but you are not sure where to go. Before I left, I took a menu so I can order another hero from here again, if the hero I ordered stood up. It does. read more

Ordered a Canarsie hero: Hot pastrami w/melted American cheese for pickup, which was outstanding. I mean, my cholesterol number may match my zip code afterward, but you only live once. read more

I grew up on 79th St. I still own the house and come down periodically to check on the tenants and work that needs to be done so I was down this morning. I have an apartment in the building went down to papa Pasquale to get a cup of coffee. Nobody I knew was there not the old guy that runs the cash register that always thanked me for my business cause he knows I live in Connecticut just two people that didn't speak English . It was disheartening to say the least they were not friendly and not helpful Like I was bothering them to ask for the cream for the coffee. Oh well chalk it up. read more

To me the best ravioli is Pastora on New Utecht Ave, in Brooklyn NY. My husband grew up in Brooklyn and he say Pastora is the best. so creamy and delish... read more

Great sandwiches, reasonably priced, good old Brooklyn attitude and service. Can't be beat.

All I can say is Papa Pasquale is HIM! Seriously all the Italian Hero's are only 12 bucks! And made with the best imported ingredients from Italy. Will definitely be coming back to try everything else. read more

OH EM GEE!!!!! The BEST marinara & eggplant rollatini I eva had! Also, how fortunate I am to have it available in Florida. I moved from NY & miss my Italian markets so much. This place is second to none. They have family in Fl that assists with deliveries to locals here. I've become a regular. AMAZING delicious melt in your mouth food. read more

Stay away !!!!!!! Horrible food. Horrible customer service. Had a catering order and when we got home and opened everything one of the trays were different from what we ordered. Place isn't clean either. Never again. read more

I read so many good reviews so I decided to order a sandwich. I ordered an Italian tuna fish salad hero. It wasn't what I expected. It was just tuna from the van. Not Italian tuna fish salads with all the helpings. It was bland. Maybe I'd try ordering something else next time. I'm not sure. Expected better. read more

I was in the area for lunch and afterwards I was going to swing by Papa Pasquale Ravioli Co. Who knew they also made Italian Heroes?! Once you walk inside, its on. Papa Pasquale doesn't mess around, there are cold refrigerators filled with Fresh Manicotti, Macaroni, Raviolis (The big suckas), Stuffed Shells, I can go on and on. I buy a freshly made Mozzarella ball, a box of stuffed shells and somehow rice balls snuck into the mix. Being the incredible cook that I am, I made my wife dinner over the weekend that knocked her bloomers off! Papa Pasquale don't take no mess! The next time I'm in the area, I'll get one of the sandwiches I've been reading about. Homemade pasta for your Sunday dinner, impress your punk ass mother in law. Tell her you slaved all day in the kitchen, nothing better than homemade pasta. read more

I saw a lot of great reviews for the sandwiches here so I decided to give it a try. Came here after work, around 4, store was not busy at this time. Staff were very friendly. Ordered a chicken parm sandwich. The sandwich was pretty decent in size, which is a plus, however, the sandwich itself lacked flavor, I don't know if it was the sauce or the chicken, but it just didn't really taste much like anything. The main thing I tasted was the cheese. Perhaps it was just an off day, I'll likely give this another shot in the future. read more

Got the Bensonhurst cold Italian sub. Excellent. Good bread, good meat, good cheese, good roasted pepper. After eating one of these, I don't understand the attraction to the Boston area grinder with its slimmer bread. read more

I was in the mood for an Italian sandwich and remembered my coworker telling me about this place so I decided to give it a try for lunch! After perusing their extensive sandwich menu, I was torn between getting either the Bensonhurst or the Tommy Casale but ultimately decided on the Bensonhurst as a way of paying homage to the wonderful neighborhood that I grew up in. The Bensonhurst comes with prosciutto, mozzarella, roasted peppers, and balsamic vinegar, all of my favorite Italian sandwich ingredients. The ingredients are all on the saltier side but the bread balances them out. It's $12 for a sandwich but it's huge and can definitely be split into two meals so it's not too bad. It's quite a trek from my house but I think it's worth it and I'll definitely be back if I'm ever in the mood again for their sandwiches! read more

Papa Pasquale Ravioli Co. - The Bensonhurst - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I really like this place, the guys behind the counter Dominick and John are good people. I drove over an hour to get here on a Sunday morning from Long Island and it was well worth it. The freshest ravioli and so many different types. Pesto, Cheese, Sausage and peppers, Pumpkin, Mushroom, just to name a few. They are also known for all their over stuffed sandwiches named after locations in Brooklyn. Great homemade fresh mozzarella, and their homemade marinara sauce is one of the best i've had any where. Don't walk, run! It's amazing how the prices are about half of what you pay on the island for food that is 5 times better than what's on long island. I am a regular now and will go back every 2 or 3 weeks. Ciao read more

We went to the Rockville centre farmers market and purchased a few things from their stand. Sausage and pepper ravioli - I am not a ravioli fan at all but I really liked these a lot they had just the right about of filling and the flavor was great. Cheese ravioli My husband said it was the best he ever had and he is a huge ravioli guy Pretzels - These I didn't care Fresh mozzarella It was fresh and probably one of the better fresh mozzarellas I have ever had. It wasn't too much or too watery it had the right consistency. They were very nice at the farm stand and if I happen to be in Brooklyn I would love to try a hot sandwich or other items. But I will be going to see them at the farm stand again for sure. read more

On my way to pick up lioni's sandwiches, I stopped by because I read so much Yelp reviews that rave about their ravioli's. I got the fresh unfrozen cheese ones, fresh penne pasta and a pint of their homemade vodka sauce. They have tons of other flavor ravioli that are frozen like lobster, meat, veggies. After cooking all the ingredients at home I have to say give 5 stars for the cheese ravioli, they were so soft, flavorful and full of cheese. The vodka sauce was kind of light for me, but the fresh penne were delicious and al dente. If your in the mood for raviolis, check this place out, you won't be sorry! read more

Must say their fresh pasta is some of the best I've tried. It has become a staple in my house . Nice products and their cold cuts are always fresh . Nice place read more

Believe the 5 stars - It's true. Papa Pasquale is an authentic Italian food company that makes great stuff. My favs are the large twisted Italian bread that is super chewy inside, and crunchy seeds outside.. mm And of course they make a perfect lobster ravioli.. that actually tastes good.. Still yet to try spinach, mushroom, pumpkin? ( I don't recall /something like it maybe squash) ravioli and some other items. Saw some prepared food. If you can't get into Brooklyn, they are on the east end in summer at the Westhampton Farmers Market on Saturdays. Everything is fresh and just made. They are a pleasant surprise out there. read more

Several years ago i was in the area and ordered a chicken cutlet parm. The gentleman who served me acted like he was preparing it for family with that special touch. The outcome was a delicious sandwich. That personal touch is missing, especially in brooklyn. read more

Pumpkin ravioli to knock your socks off. I had the spinach and the pesto which are amazing. I figured why not try the pumpkin and OMGOODNESS read more

Maybe today was just a bad day, but the hero I got was really underwhelming. I've ordered the Bensonhurst Hero (prosciutto hero) several times before over the years and they were always stacked with like an inch of delicious prosciutto. But today's order had a mere two slices in it (see pics), which was very disappointing given my urge to satisfy a spontaneous prosciutto craving. The guys here are very nice and gracious, always class acts, and the food is great. Am just disappointed with the portions and hope this doesn't become a trend. Lioni's is right next door and they used to stack the prosciutto thick. Will try them next time to see how they are now. read more

We purchased several great items from Papa Pasquale's table at the Malverne Farmers market. Excellent quality and great prices!

I found these ravioli in a supermarket in Bay Ridge and immediately fell in love. Went on a short journey to their home store and I'm even happier. Delicious food all around, so much variety, and super pleasant people. read more

Shop there weekly, never had a bad product. Fresh Pasta, Ravioli, Mariana Sauce are superb. Sandwich's are to die for!

If you want lobster ravioli's to make at home then go here!!! I'm a real stickler for only fresh raviolis but they are freshly made on the premises and then frozen. To my surprise these are the best raviolis I have ever tasted. Plus for the price it's well worth the trip from queens. I also ordered a sandwich which was HUGE AND AMAZING!!! They're prices are very reasonable too. I will be back! read more

This ravioli is amazing. My sister came in for the first time last week and they gave her a load of freebies with her ravioli purchase. Suffice to say, I've had their ravioli 3x so far this week. Including a second trip back to the store where I almost bought everything. So damn good. The artichoke and ricotta, mushroom and plain ravioli are to die for. Literally. I'll gain 200lbs and be lonely cat lady for the rest of my life if I get to eat this forever. read more

If you are a Foodie you must add Papa Pasquale to your list. They have the best Raviolis and homemade pasta. You can't go to Dyker Heights Brooklyn without stopping at Papa Pasquale. Don't forget to also pick up some of there amazing frozen meals. read more

I've been coming here for years. It use to be walking distance from where I use to live and would get a sandwich from here at least 1x a month. I've moved and I still come here whenever I'm in the mood for a yummy sandwich. There's a big board behind the cashier w/all the sandwiches they make. There are so many options you would get lost. You could also create your own and the guys will whip it up. They also sell fresh made pasta, sauces and cheese... all of which is delish. Come by when you're in the area or whenever you're really hungry and want a sandwich (the cold cuts are piled on so high on the heroes) read more

You've read others saying this place packs the meat - it's true, and that's all that matters. If you are hungry, stop reading, this is the place for you. If you near by, check it out, ask for recommendation if you have no clue about the menu. Microwaving two mozzarella sticks in styrofoam - think they changed it. Friendly staff - absolutely. Overprice - what else you can get for $10? I know, 10 boxes of animal crackers from dollar store? Four 1/4 pounders from McDonald? Scroll back up to first sentence, and know that they are known for that, and they will pack it up like the Italian grandmothers. read more

This place has hands down the best sandwiches you can get anywhere. Their subs are big with plenty of meat and toppings. None of that "nothing but bread feeling". I recommend anyone to try this place at least once! read more

just had their chicken ravioli and it was so fresh i could taste the cracked pepper in it! I smothered some of the Dora's Pesto with Pine Nut on top. Got the goods from a farmer's market. SO good. Now i'm very curious about the 5 cheese rav! read more

My favorite chicken parm sub in the entire world is here. I can't go to Brooklyn without getting one. The other fresh stuff is superb as well. Lobster ravioli, spinach ravioli, and chicken roll are some of my favorites. The pesto is also great. Highly recommend coming here, even if it is out of the way, you won't regret it. read more

I bought raviolis, rice balls and prosciutto from here and I gotta say those prosciutto balls are to die for! The raviolis fresh and tasty. It's got the right amount of filling for the amount of dough. Definitely a great place. read more

On September 2, 2020 in the morning, purchased some Raviolis at the local Farmer's Market, and the gentlemen handling the money gave me the wrong change. Local police say it is a "Civil Issue" because the denomination is so small, under $20. Not happy but worth the time read more

Best Ravoli ever! The two gentleman that own this place are extremely sweet and knowledgable! If you tell them that it is your first time there, the will walk you through the store making recommendations! My favorite is the asparagus and smoked mozeralla ravoli, creamy and super delicious. The prices here are extremely fair. I think for a package of 12 large regular ravoli is only $5. Stop by if you're around the neighborhood. I also suggest that you go to the meat store at the corner and pick up some bacon ( the same kind they serve at Peter Luger) read more

Right when I entered, I was greeted with a loud welcome. I had not been in an Italian place in Bensonhurst prior to this and it was an experience needless to say. It reminded me of my own Chinese culture - I would have gotten the same loud welcome upon entering a Chinese restaurant, one so loud it'd almost sound like they were yelling at me. I ordered the Meatball Parmagiana Hero and it was huge. Heros are $10 each, but well worth the price. I feel like I could split one hero into 3 meals they're so big. I have not had their ravioli but I'm sure it's great. The guy who served me (I'm assuming the owner) is extremely nice and hospitable. This is a good local business and I'm glad they exist! One thing I was concerned about was their microwaving of two mozzarella sticks in styrofoam. When someone was making my sandwich, he was not wearing gloves or a hairnet either. I mean, I ate it with no problem. It was delicious, but a little sanitary precaution would not be too bad. read more

Old school Brooklyn deli. BIG hero's and I'm pretty sure they run about 10 bucks a pop. You won't complain when you see the size of them!! Loaded to the max just the way only Italians can do it!! On top of that, the owners is a very nice guy. read more
