We used Pastosa to cater a party. We ordered chicken Valdosta, chicken parmigiana, rice balls, cheesesteak egg rolls and penne vodka. Everything was delicious. We were able to give them a deposit for chafing dishes and that enabled us to keep the food warm throughout the evening. The pricing was reasonable and everybody loved the food. They are a great option for catering. read more

Had extended family over for a beach day and bought Pastosa's signature sandwiches. Have to say, not only are these sandwiches the best (you gotta love the names), they are Huge and best of all most are between $14.99-$17.99. The best deal around from other sandwich shops. Highly recommend. read more

Several times I order a tray or half tray of beef empanadas for a party or game Always excellent and good service read more

Insanely good sandwiches. Always pack my cooler full of them for beach days Great grocery selection too read more

My father loves this place!! His favorite and only place to get a sandwich...everything from here is delicious...highly recommended.

I'm thrilled to find Pastosa here, as I've relocated south recently (I shopped at the Florham Park store). Always great pasta, nice butcher area, friendly staff. The downside is it's a bit claustrophobic on a regular day, let alone near a holiday. read more

The BEST - no need to say anything else. Try a sub - so good. We have used them for catering too

Great, fresh, Italian food. Great selection. Staff are friendly and helpful when you need to find something.

Everything and always great! We stop just to bring back food to Sussex County Delaware!! Please come down here. We neeed you!

I shop in the Manasquan store often. The quality & selection is top notch; many wonderful items to choose from. The service in the rear deli is excellent. Friendly staff; always with a smile & a friendly greeting. This quality of service however, does not apply to the checkout end of the store. VERY unfriendly, expressionless staff, particularly the young ladies. Someone needs to train them how to treat customers & how to create the same warm, friendly atmosphere as the rest of the store. I am a generous tipper, but have lately stopped adding to the jar due to their inability to connect with the customer in any way. How about starting with just a smile, and ending with, thanks & have a nice day?? read more

So much more than Ravioli! Fresh butcher, hot prepared foods, fresh bread fruit vegetables and more!

Outstanding sandwiches. Cheese steak is incredible great bread nice staff. I always enjoy the different salads

Thursday they did our bocce dinner of 100-115 ppl. everything was delish. everyone enjoyed the buffet. not one complaint which is odd at a senior complex. I will be going there for sure. After the meal we got to enjoy a dessert this was the best read more

Amazing, delicious, a great place to get everything you need for a lunch or dinner for your family friends everybody, bags of pasta, all kinds of sauces, Really good food , order a sub , always made with love : peace enjoy read more

Thank God for this place!!! Bravissimo!!! Excellent quality food and meat. The pasta well hard to find better. Great sandwiches! Excellent staff! read more

See all

Great food, super friendly staff for the most part. Great prepared food that I would get very regularly as opposed to pizza or Chinese on those busy nights but they close at 5!!! Which pretty much eliminates them as a dinner option for anyone who isn't home all day. read more

Yes, this is a review from across the country, but they are amazing. Original, delicious, friendly and above and beyond on customer service. A special shout out to Jackie in shipping who saved our Christmas by packing those handmade tortellini's so well that despite FedEX messing up on the 2 day delivery, our dinner arrived still preserved and perfect! I will be a regular customer, we are not lucky enough to have one close to home!! Thank you so much!! read more

Excellent food. Such friendly helpful staff. Great place to go. Went for my first visit. Going back today. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for!! read more

Hands down amazing food, pasta and bread. Behind the counter service is friendly and helpful and clearly proud of their food and history. However-- every time I have been here the checkout help is surly and unpleasant. Some of the help are very young and it took my breath away to be spoken to like I was just plain stupid. And to the customer in front of me too. If it happens again I just cannot go back. Very upsetting. read more

Peppers were moldy after purchasing 4 days prior. No refund, nothing! Awful customer service!

I buy at Pastosa often and have been very happy - a treat. I recently bought chicken parm and fresh mozz - both were extremely dry and unedible. Reheating made it worst - a little piece to the dog and the rest into the trash - very disappointing and unexpected. I have had good experiences up to now and will try again but really think I will limit my purchases to their sauce and ravioli read more

Absolutely Amazing! Being from Staten Island Patosa is a staple of our area so we were nervous to try a different location. This was the best decision we ever made. As soon as we walked in we were welcomed by the girls in front, the owner and other staffers greeted us like family. The food was amazing and beyond fresh and delicious. We had a huge catering order and everything was perfect, and packaged in insulated boxes which kept it hot the entire drive. The workers were feeding us as we waited for the food as if we were in Naples, Italy enjoying fresh mozzarella. The girls were polite, sweet, and energetic as well. Overall a 10-10 experience and they have us a customer for life! read more

Told my wife that going here yesterday was like a trip with my Dad when I was little... 9th Ave for mozzarella & pasta, Greenwich Village for meat & Brooklyn for dessert..... only difference was we got this all accomplished at one location... love this store!!!!!! read more

We just got a bunch of food from here for the first time and it is excellent so far. We heated up a sample of cheese lasagna, meat lasagna, aroncini and chicken cutlets, and everything was great. We bought a bunch of ravioli and sausage too but are too stuffed to eat any more tonight. Looking forward to round 2 tomorrow! New go-to for Italian at the Jersey Shore. read more

Finally a decent Italian provisions store at the Jersey Shore. Ravioli and Manicotti are first rate as are prepared foods and platters. Well staffed with knowledgeable and helpful people. None of the entitlement attitude of Joe Leone or other pretenders. The real deal. read more

Lasagna? More like a hamburger between much too thin slices of pasta. Little or no cheese. Tasteless sauce. Even when I smothered it with Parmesan and mozzarella there was nothing I could do to resurrect this to even approach lasagna. Do they even know what herbs are? At $10.50 a slice someone should be reading the New York Times recipe for lasagna and get the proportions correct for cheese meat and sauce. If it weren't a Saturday night and too late to start making dinner I would've pitched it. Good news, I'm going back to making my own lasagna and all the things I used to make at home before prepared foods were sold. read more

Great place with great food and excellent sandwiches. I really appreciate how when you order a sandwich you are asked a few questions which ensure that you get your sandwich exactly how you want it. Confirming whether you want the chicken on your sandwich warmed up and if you want it grilled or fried goes along way with me. Every where should do that but unfortunately that isnt the case. read more

Some of the best deli food around. The honey chicken is my absolute favorite thing on the menu. Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned wow!!! I get a pound of it every time, can't go wrong YUMMM read more

We walked in 10 minutes before they were to close on a Saturday. we asked if we holding them up, they said no come in. The guys behind the food counter were nice and helpful. The girls at the register we awful , one girl practically screamed in my ear EXCUSE ME, we were trying to pay and she needed to get behind the counter. The food was not that fresh tasting . They have another location in Manalapan , the food was really good there. read more

Yep - awesome 5 star place... i eat here every time i visit my parents in manasquan... see you next wkd for memorial day!

This place has everything from prepared foods, pastas, salads, desserts, and more. The staff were fantastic and could not have been any nicer. They made me pesto aioli that was the icing on the cake of an incredible sandwich. Easily one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. If you're nearby, I strongly recommend going! read more

let me start by saying i was a loyal customer of both pastosa's in brooklyn and staten island, since moving to NJ been trying to find a comparable place, it hasn't been easy, this is a 35 minute ride from my house but it's worth it , friendly people , store super clean , soon as you walk in you can smell the good food, I tried the sausage , braciole , different cheese's , olives , they have prociutto di parma , all great, can't wait to go back and try some of the cooked food which looked very good read more

Fantastic deli. Everything you could possibly want or need!!! Went there for sandwiches but walked out with even more than expected. Will definitely go back! read more

Called up and was told this place had seafood salad. Seven minutes later I was in the place ordering my seafood salad, which they did not have! When I told them I just called, one guy says "we never had it" and the other guy says "tell him we just sold out" - Needless to say the staff was rude and very unprofessional. Never go to Patosa Ravioli again! Be honest with customers and don't give bull sh*t answers. NEVER AGAIN! read more

First time ordering fresh food here. My chicken cutlet sandwich was perfect! Will definitely return.
