I've see the content on social media. I am occasionally in the neighborhood and had to stop by today. I picked up an 11th Ave. hero, a prosciutto bread, sausage and broccoli rabe Savory Sfogliatella, lemon drop cookies and the PB&J layer cookies. Half of my order was gone before I got home. I was surprised I didn't pull over and eat everything. The food is amazing and will be a stop on my monthly trip to Dyker Heights. Keep up the amazing work and Happy Holidays! read more

Only giving 1 star because we ordered a Dyker Heights sandwich and the chicken cutlet in the sandwich was rock hard. You couldn't even chew it. We were first time and last tme customers. I guess the person serving us didn't know us, so he gave us the leftover, rock hard chicken cutlets. read more

Fantastic place, friendliest staff, great variety and very accommodating for special requests.

Might be the best mozzarella I've ever had in my life. Don't tell Arthur Ave. Perfectly salted. Soft, creamy, and firm where you want it to be. read more

I came by today after work and the owner Charlier was incredibly kind, I tried the broccoli rabe sfogliatelle and it was great, will definitely be back to try their sandwhiches read more

Great food and wonderful friendly service! Owner is a nice person who operates a clean and well stocked store. Great to have this business in the neighborhood! read more

Cute shop with lots of options. Enjoyed the chicken piccata a lot. Got fig goat ravioli, hot peppers and Orchetta Angelica . Need to go back and try a Sammy. read more

Best ravioli in town and the potato egg dish is divine. Eggplant parmesan is as tall as the Empire State Building, dripping with flavor. The meatballs are so good I'd leave my grandmothers table every Sunday to have these. I'm only disappointed by one fact, they are closed on Mondays. read more

This is an adorable shop next to a fantastic Italian eatery, Mama Rao. The service and knowledge of the staff is greatly appreciated in the variety of Italian goods from sauces to pastas to breads is incredible. Highly recommend! read more

For the first time I went into this store. I knew I wanted to make the short ride here because I heard so many good things about it. I follow a few people on IG that had pictures of the beautiful food they prepare. SO let me say I originally went in for the potatoes and eggs. I mentioned I was never here before and saw a review from Brooklynbites on IG. The owner immediately introduced himself, gave me some fried zucchini..(which is cooked perfectly without being soggy), which I think is fantastic and makes you feel comfortable. No stuck up store proprietor here! I got picked a small hero bread for my husband's sandwich and it was warm and soft. Thought it just came from the bakery...uh no way, they make their own bread, rolls, cookies everything! He says"come on let's go I'll show you our kitchen." I get a tour of a clean kitchen, more then one, bread was done on its own. It was great to see Charlie and the pride he has for his business. Since I was there for the first time and saw PF on IG he then says go get a loaf of bread and he also gave me his famous lemon cookies. Worth the trip alone! I shared with my neighbors when I got home. They are light, cakey, lemony but not over powering. Wonderful with a nice cup of tea or coffee or just talking outside with neighbors. A perfect lemon drop cookie in my opinion. I bought meat filled rice balls, chicken pasta and broccoli for my dinner later. I got my husband a chicken cutlet broccoli rabe mozz sandwich with balsamic glaze. He loooved it!!! Chicken cutlets were perfectly done, not tough so he buys quality chicken. The potatoes and eggs has onions in it. Also a winner! I felt like I've been going to this store for years! Worth the ride from wherever you are. Trying the pasta next time. I'm sure it will be great. So clean, beautiful store, Charlie and his staff are wonderful people. Go you won't be sorry! Oh and the beautiful smells of baking bread and other foods is absolutely amazing read more

Can't believe they sold me an old mozzarella . I bought it on a Monday, it was leftover from the weekend. Tasted and felt like cream cheese.Now i know only go on weekends to get their very good mozzarella. read more

Didn't expect it but, Pasta Fresca Ravioli was definitely impressive. Everything on the menu on point, the service is great and the ambience and atmosphere is just on point. Pretty much every thing that we ordered was extremely fresh and delicious. The service was also wonderful and everyone was friendly. Certainly will be back. read more

The cookies I got from this place were very stale and the service horrible. Most impulsional purchases end up being that way.

Amazing authentic italian food at a friendly neighborhood staff. Very nice staff and I got one of the best plates of gnocchi I've ever had. Charlie is the best, you definitely have to come here!! read more

Pasta Fresca Ravioli - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

How do you rate a store that has great products but an owner with a shocking attitude? I suppose you take both into consideration. For that reason, I rate this store much lower than it deserves. "... we can offer... delicious products in a friendly environment." Only part of that statement is true. Their food is delicious, so one point for telling the truth. But the older man who works here is ANYTHING but friendly, so I'm taking that point right back. The older man has been unjustifiably nasty to me and my family in the past. My father once asked for a plastic container to put his desserts in and the old guy responded by sucking his teeth and saying my father is a drunk. The kicker for me was when I ordered cold cuts, then wanted to order one more thing and he yelled at me, "now you wait!" and stomped over to the register. I was so confused! Is there a cold cut maximum? I walked out of there and left the food behind. I wasn't eating his negative energy! I've since been in here twice in about 3 years. I went in because I saw he wasn't there (don't judge me). I felt guilty both times. To be fair, the Hispanic looking gentlemen who worked the counter couldn't be more pleasant. And the sons have always been nice to me (great food at their restaurant next door). They also have the best cannolis I've tasted (tied with Grandmas Bakery on 73rd and 13th Ave) with smooth filling, not that gritty stuff. But this is the problem with poor customer service, it's been a while and I still remember that poor treatment. I know people that simply will not go in here based on their own experiences. It's for you to decide which you need more - Products or Service. read more

Fresh pasta and fresh bread, i think they are owned by the same people who run Mama Rao's next door. No complaints to speak of, shop with confidence read more

Pasta Fresca Ravioli - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We went to this place bc we were planning a party at the business next door. This place is amazing! Sauces, meats, mozzarella, rice balls, Italian specialties...all fresh...all delicious and of course many versions of ravioli. Charlie and his staff were very accommodating and friendly. I used to go to that other somewhat popular ravioli place but now this is my go-to store. read more

Bah Humbug!! Of course the food and bread are amazing here. But I couldn't agree more with Meli and Brooklyn278! Stay away from this place unless you enjoy being treated rudely and getting so annoyed that your entire Christmas is ruined. The sons are great but the old man DESTROYS the place entirely. Came to spend money at their store to get food for Christmas dinner and was treated so poorly I will never be back. The nerve of this man. Terrible. What a SCROOGE!! Relatives have warned me about his habit of adding a heavy handed finger to the scale when weighing cold cuts. REALLY? Give me a break, old man. read more

A big thank you to the Rao family, we had the most wonderful bridal shower on July 28 at Mama Rao's with the help of Sal, Tommy and their amazing staff. The food was incredible. Charlie at Pasta Fresca provided the most delicious and amazing food for guests at my home. They have provided catering throughout the year as we had to postpone so many times due to the pandemic. We had a family over on the day they were supposed to married and then when they got married in October, only immediate family. We had a backyard gathering catered by Pasta Fresca. The Rao family has been an important part of this neighborhood for decades and they just keep getting better. Looking forward to having all my parties and catering done by them. read more

Take it from an old school Italian family...this is THE BEST salumeria in Brooklyn. From the prepared foods to the pasta and especially their freshly baked breads-this place is TOPS. And their mozzarella....fugetaboutit!!! Try it, you'll like it...no, you' love it!! Thank you Charlie and family for keeping so many fading traditions alive and well!! See you soon! CK and Family And BTW...wow, their corn beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day was the best I've ever had:))) read more

Pasta Fresca has some of the best ingredients in Brooklyn. They have amazing home made pastas, sauces, pizza dough and mozzarella. They're my go to when I want to make a "homemade" pizza. Always fresh and delicious. Staff is awesome as well! read more

I visit Pasta Fresca a few times a week for my lunch or dinner needs. Upon entering, the friendly owner or staff greets me by name. They are very helpful in making outstanding suggestions. This from a tremendous selection of reasonably-priced fine Italian cuisine, including delicious chicken parmigiana, francese, or marsala, tasty mushrooms stuffed with breadcrumbs, and superb fried zucchini, or cauliflower. As the name says, moreover, the food is "fresca" (fresh)! In reference to outdated reviews, the old sheriff has retired, and his friendlier and more helpful deputies are now in charge!! read more

When you are looking for that authentic Italian food to cook or buy, look no further the Pasta Fresca, here in Dyker Heights. The bread is second to none, and when you learn the baking schedule, you are always assured of getting a hot loaf right out of the oven. Looking for a quick meat or marinara sauce, reach for any of the jars right there in the refrigerator. And we must say it even passes for Mom's recipe. As a family-owned and run business, they are always kind and looking to help you in any way. Even if you are looking for help with your recipe, they are always willing to give some advice. There are always plenty of cooking and baking options all around the store. And not sure of something, just ask for a sample, Charlie is always will to accommodate you. Molto Bene! read more

Brought our family group of 20 from Long Island as a stop before our Christmas Lights venture. Had previously been to Mama Rao's, loved (next door) and wanted to check out their market. We were not disappointed, bread, rolls, fresh mozzarella, various raviolis, cookies, rice balls, heros and more were purchased and enjoyed by all. Charlie was exceptionally accommodating to our every request, went beyond. He was just so nice and friendly as was the other young man behind the counter (I'm sorry I didn't get his name). It was a reminder to me of the family owned stores that I grew up with that took a personal interest in their customers and that these "mom & pop" stores are being pushed out in many of our neighborhoods and sorely missed. And Charlie, thank you for your most generous recommendation with location, however our driver was not able to accept. read more

A shout out to Charlie for another delicious catering order!! Tbe eggplant rollatini, chicken francesce, veal marsala and stuffed shells were excellent! Food is always fresh and definitely alot of heart and extra love go in to these dishes for sure!!! read more

I've been coming here for the last year for their catering, fresh hot mozzarella and other food to bring home. Today, I had one the best Italian combo sandwiches. I have eaten sandwiches all over the neighborhood, this was hands down the best one! The owner and employees always greet you with a smile. I asked for my cold cuts sliced thin, the owner said "you're the customer you tell us what you want". That's GREAT customer service. Thank you John read more

Do you want fresh, authentic Italian bread, pasta, cheese, sauces and pastries? Well, then get your ass out of Pathmark and into Pasta Fresca Ravioli. This place is a dream come true to those that understand quality. Their bread is definitely one of the top 3 in Brooklyn. I read someone saying that the owner isn't friendly. This is completely untrue. I've been coming here for a few years and I can honestly say, if you take his Old World Sicilian demeanor as unfriendly than you don't know Brooklyn! This guy knows what he's doing and has brought amazing-ness to Brooklyn from his motherland. He is part of what makes Brooklyn so wonderful. Consider yourself lucky! Check it out now! read more

Friendly service Must get the lemon drop cookies!!!!! They also have italian hot food, fresh cheese, bread etc. read more

Today I overhead the guy at the counter, Charlie, tell a customer, "Things could be worse you could've been born black." It was disgusting. He said this unprompted. I don't know why he has this hate in his heart. I don't want pasta fresca to go out of business. I just want Charlie to know I heard him loud and clear. I as a minority am not welcome in his shop. If you patronize this shop just know this is what the man behind the counter thinks about minorities. It was really disheartening to hear. I've been going here for lunch at least once a week for a year now. read more

We ordered catering from Pasta Fresca for a company party today. The food and service were nothing short of amazing. Charlie was a pleasure to work with and he customized everything to meet our needs. Being that we are on Wall Street, getting to the city can be a little chaotic but the gentlemen from Pasta Fresca were exactly on time and set up everything. We will definitely be using them for future events. read more

Drove about an hour today from Central Jersey to Brooklyn for some of my husband's favorite things for his birthday. Everything was amazing! Rice balls, potato croquettes, prosciutto balls, potatoes and eggs, pastry and cookies. Did not disappoint, it would be wrong of me not to mention how nice and helpful the owner was as well. Jersey tries to compete but nothing like an Italian deli in the old neighborhood. Thank you! read more

Best pasta, grilled chicken in town. Sergio is the best . Good prices. Excellent food read more

Pasta Fresca bakes FRESH every single day. There are not many excellent bakers out there nowadays and this is a fantastic local bakery store. The service is always friendly and courteous and they have not only baked goods, but homemade entrees and side dishes that are excellent too! I highly recommend Pasta Fresca if you want fresh food at great prices. read more

Excellent bread bakery. Also try their prepared foods. Try their lasagna, eggplant parm and rolatinis. Buy some rolls and a few chicken cutlet parms and make a sandwich at home. You won't be disappointed. Get a jar of their homemade marinara and a box or two of the frozen ravioli. Heat up sauce, cook pasta, combine and top with grated parmigiano reggiano. Awesome! read more

I used to come here every week when I lived in Brooklyn, I feel they are in the top 3 for Italian bread and the Ravioli's are awesome! I was never a fan of their meats and their prosciutto bread is not that good anymore so that's why I couldn't give them 4 stars but still a good place to get your eats on! read more
