Best pasta ever ! Worth the trip ! Nice customer service. You can even see it being made in the back of the store, everything is fresh. read more

I have ordered online from this location multiple times and the food is always fresh and delicious. I had a major issue recently with the Babylon location (who makes their own products) and contacted the online store at the Brooklyn location for resolution. I received wonderful customer service from Jacqueline F. She resolved my problem with friendly professionalism. My order was replaced in less than two days (via FedEx) and everything was great! I will definitely be ordering online from this location from now on! read more

This small store packs a huge number of products into a very small location. They've renovated - now as you walk through the triangle-shapes interior, you visit the cheeses and pastas, sauces and prepackaged raw meats before arriving at Counter #1. You might be served at Counter #1, #2, or #3. If you need items from more than one counter, just stay at the original one as your assistant will return there with the items. They have many items that rotate through so I may never have tried them before - today, for example, they didn't have broccoli rabe, but they did have sauteed spinach with garlic and two types of roasted vegetables, and mixed mushrooms. I got the mixed mushrooms. My fear is that they'll be sour with vinegar and oil, but they weren't! I also tried the Tuscan Beef Stew and the Lemon-rosemary grilled chicken thighs. Yum! This is why I always spend $40 if I'm planning to spend $20. I go in expecting to get just my pasta (gluten free gnocchi, which is waaaay better than their other gluten-free pastas, their unrivaled marinara, and some of their great cheeses...and I always walk out closer to $50. I'm so glad they're building their e-commerce presence, and have other locations so you know they won't be going anywhere. read more

Just a great place to get your Italian goodies, whether you're looking for prepared food that you can heat and serve, or planning to do your own cooking. The raviolis are top-notch and the sauces are amazing right out of the containers. This is pretty much the only acceptable fare when my father-in-law comes over for a visit. The staff and counter people are always very helpful and nice, in spite of the fact that this place is almost always crowded because of the quality of their food. Want to try something? Ask. They'll hook you up. It's that kind of neighborhood place. read more

5 stars, this is where it all started, need I say more. If you dont know Pastosa's than you dont know good Italian food and you damn sure aint from Brooklyn. The very best! read more

This is the place to get your holiday catering. Order trays from here for Christmas and it was the best. I got trays of Eggplant Rollatini and stuffed mushrooms "cold", I heated it up right before guests arrive and they think I made it!! Fresh pasta and ravioli of course but it is like your Italian grandma made it. Can't go wrong with this place! read more

i stopped in the Postosa store in Florham Park NJ. I bought 4 items. Sweet Sausage, Pizza, Manacotti, and Ravioli. The sausage was terrible, i threw it in the garbage, the manicotti was oversauced with lousy sauce, in the garbage. The Pizza was bland and way too much cheese, in the garbage. Finally the ravioli, the filling was not very creamy and frankly i find the typical brands you find in supermarkets just as good for much less cost. read more

Me and my wife have lived close to Pastosa for 29 years, and I worked very close. I could kick myself for not going here earlier. I catered from them this past Saturday and the food was outstanding. The help in the store could not of been better. read more

Great place to get pasta; the standard to which I hold every pasta I purchase. My grandmother would not even think of getting her "macaroni" (yeah, that's what I call my pasta!) anywhere else. Great raviolis and my favorite, cavatelli. Mmm... macaroni. read more

This place is right near where one of my clients lives-on the New Utrecht/ Bensonhurst border-and I have to thank Diana for opening my eyes to it. Because of her recommendation, I bought some fresh mozzarella, some fresh pasta and some delicious imported sheep's cheese from Sardinia today. I spent about an hour looking around at every item they sell, and marveling at the items that reminded me of some things I saw on a trip I took to Southern Italy years ago. When I left Pastosa's today, I felt lucky ---like I have just been turned-on to a neighborhood best-kept-secret-kind-of-place that has probably been a Brooklyn Italian-American institution for many years. I have officially added them to my vast mental card catalog of best places to shop for fresh, great food. They carry both fresh, quality, in-store prepared traditional Italian-American dishes, meats, cheeses, and imported items and brands from all over Italy. Places like this are a dying breed, so I hope Pastosa's stays around for many years to come! I got all nostalgic today, so I will now turn my review of Pastosa's into a blog about Old World NYC food institutions... One of the things I have a deep appreciation for are relics of yesteryear - pieces of history that transport you to a different era or place. That can apply to just about anything, but in New York, one of my favorites are old-world institutions - places that haven't yet been wiped out by the Disney Worldization and/or mass cookie-cutter cheap, mass building development trend that we've lived through before the recession. I consider authentic, family-owned ethnic specialty food stores that have survived for generations to be a sub category of New York cultural institutions. Afterall, a lot of what makes up institutions - especially in New York- is culture and food...wait, I guess food is culture(?) I'm talking about the kind that give people both within and outside a particular culture a healthy dose of what it means to eat traditional foods from their country(ies) - especially when the presentation is nice, the service is good, they carry fresh and imported items, and you can see that there's a loyal following. Pastosa's is definitely in this category. read more

So easy to whip up the frozen gnocchi and lobster and dress them up. Family was happy with the marinara sauce and fresh mozzarella. Better and cheaper than ordering in. Makes a home cooked meal 10X easier and more fun, I plan to return soon.. read more

I adore this place.... There are a few things that I come for consistently. The stuffed rigatoni in their freezer section is aaaaaaaaaamaaaaazzzzzing..... I like to top it off with my own homemade ground beef sauce, so delicious! They also have pizza dough (2 for $1) that I use to make homemade pizzas and a canned pizza sauce called Don Pepe that I've found to be the cheapest price around. They have a round focaccia bread in baskets just when you walk in that's pretty tasty as well. I purchased cold cuts from them once and they were good, Boars Head. There are some things I would never purchase from there, like their fresh mozzarella, and that's just because it's overpriced compared to what I can get it for close by in the neighborhood. Lines are always short because the customer service is great! read more

Best Manicotti and they always have my chinoto in stock. They have a large variety of cheeses, meats and pasta and other fine delicacies. I always come here. read more

This place is a brooklyn institution and has been pumping out fresh pasta, manicotti and ravioli forever. They are probably best known for the awesome fresh raviolis but they sell so any other delicious foods and Italian products. Just a fantastic store that is very well run. Starving just thinking about it. read more

Great customer service & good quality foods/ingredients. I order from here for the holidays and large dinner parties. Old school food & manners. I like! read more

Sure you could go to that chef owned Italian mall in Manhattan and spend your paycheck on some nice fare, or you could come to Pastosa and get the same authentic quality for a quarter of the price. The prepared foods are really well done, and the selection of Italian speciality items is great. The customer service can be spotty. If I didn't enjoy the food and grocery selection so much, I would probably have given them fewer stars. If you come up to the counter and get the man who seems to be a part or full owner, you are in luck. He is friendly and super efficient. However, if you get one of the disengaged women, brace yourself for the blood pressure rise and watch your order carefully. They are so busy chatting with one another, your order will take at least twice as long, and they will give you the wrong things. read more

Great local pasta shop. My mom has been shopping here for years. They have a great selection of fresh pastas, but their speciality is of course raviolis. I've never tried the canned tomatoes here but now that I hear they are good maybe I'll give them a try. They close early so it can be a pain to pick stuff after work but when I do they are a great treat. read more

For Italian specialties and prepared food, it doesn't get any better than this. Usually opt for their house brand of ravioli and get a prepared appetizer or two to go with it. The store is not exactly spacious, and can get crowded. Small price to pay for quality. read more

Best ravioli in Brooklyn! And great customer service. However, the staff only speaks fake-Brooklyn-gabagool-prozschoot-Italian...not real Italian. I watched as a few people struggled to understand an Italian-speaker and I had to assist. Other than that quirk, this is my go-to Italian supermarket! God help you if you get here when it's close to closing time. The staff is pissed off and they want to leave. Their signage says 6:30 during the week but they want to be out of there by 6. Such is life. read more

I bought some fresh ravioli for my friends birthday dinner and they were too tasty and vodka sauce is pretty ok! Definitely I will come back! Highly recommended! read more

Pastosa Ravioli Company is my go-to for Italian staples at fair prices (--shame-shame on all chi-chi!): Madre Sicilia Extra Virgin Olive Oil ~ Mengazzolii Aceto di Vino (true wine vinegar, both red and white) ~ Pastosa Pomodoro Pelato Italiano (whole peeled tomatoes--blue can being good, no need to pay for pricey San Marzano) ~ Parmigiano Reggiano ~ Locatelli Pecorino Romano ~ Medaglio D'oro Decaf. Espresso ~ Pastene Tonno (tuna packed in olive oil) ~ Agostino Recca Capers in Salt ~ Agostino Recca Caper Berries in Wine Vinegar (specialty item hard to find and delightful to guests) ~ Bellino Anchovies (in clear glass jars--never use canned!) ~ Arborio Rice and Funghi Porcini ~ sundry Olives (especially beefy cerignola!) ~ and Italian Cheeses such as Piave, sweet Gorgonzola, & Taleggio ~ and of course, BEST BIG ROUND (never little square!) CHEESE RAVIOLI!! New Utrecht Ave. & 75th St., Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. The Blogger at http://www.thefoodofmypeople.com/, blogging on Brooklyn's Old Italian cooking. read more

I absolutely love Pastosa's products; I've been a frequent customer for over 25 years. I can't find a better salumeria than Pastosa although Trunzo on 18th Avenue has recently become my favorite. The clerks in Pastosa aren't very personable; seem to want to hurry and are abrupt in their taking care of your order. One thing that will probably deter me from Pastosa is that, although they have 3 cash registers, they are all hidden from the customers' sight. That same practice holds true for their scales. You are not able to see what they are doing and when they announce the price, you just go along with it, whether it's correct or not. I believe it's against the law to hide the cash registers. I'm going to check with the BBB. Please Pastosa start showing your cash registers and not have them hiding behind jars of food!!!!!!! At Trunzo and also A&S in Bay Ridge (another great purveyor of Italian goods/specialties) their registers and scales are in full view. read more

I really like it here. The ppl are nice, the Italian dry goods not bad. I would return to it for sure!

Wonderful experiences here - been coming here since I was a bump. The only place we ever buy any kind of stuffed pastas from (manicotti, stuffed shells, ravioli, etc. Pasta perfection! read more

I love Pastosa!!!! All of their specialities are delicious. The ribs, fried shrimp, Bruschetta oh so yummy!

This place is so great. Fresh ravioli, pasta, bread, sausage, salami...it's like you've stepped back in time to when these Italian stores were all over. The customer service is outstanding too, just the way it should be on Christmas Eve when there's a line of crabby Italians out the door. They're so friendly! But fast. read more

Went this morning for some nice fresh cheese ravioli. They have an excellent selection of raviolis and all types of pasta. The woman who rang up my order was very friendly and even suggested a nice fresh mozzarella that was just made. Wonderful selection of foods and great customer service. A rarity these days. read more

My granddad lives right up the block from Pastosa's, and when my family all comes over and we all help out with dinner, my brother and I frequently are sent on errands back and forth from Pastosa's for ingredients and amenities. They have a great selection of freshly made pasta, cheeses and cold cuts, and decently priced as well! Real old school charm to it, and one of the few real pasta shops remaining in the neighborhood. Great staff, great products, they always play an integral role in our family feasts at grandpa's! read more

The Absolute BEST Ravioli!! They prepared food in the deli is also Amazing! I'm not one to buy premade food but the chicken rollatine was amazing. We live in the DC area and went back three times to bring home ravoli and chicken rollatine. The olive salads were also amazing. read more

I absolutely love this place! The food is always fresh and delicious, and the service is excellent- Edward makes sure that I am happy with my order, and he makes me laugh every time I visit the store. If you're looking for authentic Italian food, this is the spot. read more

Brooklyn's Best! If you want fresh and delicious pasta as well as meat, cheese, prepared food, sauces, etc..Pastosa is the place! The management and staff make you feel like family and it's emaculate! I'm there every other day! read more

I've been in love with Pastosa since I was very young. The ravioli is excellent, their mozzerella is the best but my favorite has to be their stuffed artichoke hearts. I get them everytime I go! read more

Best Homemade Sauce in Brooklyn!! Not to mention their fresh pasta goods as well (Ravioli, Stuffed Shells, etc..). Quality foods at reasonable prices!! Love their stuffed artichokes, mushrooms, etc... Oh yeah, and the Rice Ball Wraps are awesome too! read more

I have to say that this place has the best on-line customer service I have ever experienced. Their products are amazing and with that sometimes comes arrogance, but not this place,they treat you with respect and kindness. I was a customer when I lived in Brooklyn and I am still a customer now that I have moved. Really can't say enough. Respectfully Anne Curry read more

I have been going to Pastosa for about 13 years. There is isn't anything better then going to a place where everything is made fresh and the prices are unbeatable. The staff works really hard and they are so pleasant. They all know me by my first name and always makes me feel right at home. They respect their food and the customers which to me makes it a high end place. Their mozzarella is to die for. It is soooo fresh it melts in your moth. Their cold cuts are always fresh and cut thin how most people like them. They have over 30 verities of ravioli, pastas and sauce. Now if your Italian like me, we neverrrrr buy sauce already made. We make it from scratch, but Pastosa is just as good or even better!!! I will never ever shop any place else for my meats and cheeses. There is only an option for a 5 star rating but in my heart I give it a 10!!! read more

Wanted to try something new and stopped by this place. Oh my God, they have the best pasta I have ever tasted. The place was full but it was so worth the wait. Pastosa Ravioli wil see me again. read more

Average raviolis I am not as big a fan as everyone else. They are good but not five star worthy. Lots of hype. Not terrible just average

amazing fresh ravioloi's and good fresh sausages as well! there mozzarella is good too! they have everything fresh homemade!

Not much to say about this place. Make a special trip here every year from Jersey right before Easter to stock up on all the goods for a typical Italian anti pasta. Everything they make is amazing, end of story...enjoy read more

They have an enormous selection of Italian groceries and deli foods, and a surprisingly large variety of fantastic gluten-free foods, including mozzarella sticks, calzones, raviolis, gnocchi, and stuffed shells. They also have dry gf pastas, gluten-free sandwich bread imported from Italy (and it doesn't need to be frozen) and even imported gluten-free mini apple pies! My spouse grew up near Pastosa, and we always stopped in when we visited his parents, and I'm glad we still can! read more
