Ive been going to this magnificent establishment for 35 years. It has LITERALLY kept me strong and healthy with all the great food they sell. Im proud to say Im friends with the family that owns this store, finer & classier people youll never find. If youre lucky, youll find me there dressed in all my Pastosa garb, the hat, the mask, the t-shirt and the fleece. Im a walking Pastosa billboard and proud to advertise the greatest Italian delicacy store of all time.....bar NONE. Hope to see you there one day , BIG STEVE !!
Delicious 😋 Ravioli! If You havent had this OMG youre really missing out on a good thing! Go ahead I dare You try this. Fresh authentic sauce, cheeses. Bellisimo.
Just went inside for the very first time I lived in the area my whole life 40 years and I have to say its an amazing place
BE AWARE BEFOREHAND, that they charge a 3% fee for using a credit card to pay for your purchases. I was unaware of this bc it was NOT posted on their website. This was my first time going to that store. If it had been, I would NOT have brought my credit card, but would have brought my debit card with me. I chose not to bring my pocketbook bc I had a small wagon and had to take two buses to get home so there was no reason for me to carry my pocketbook also.I do not mind that they charged this fee, but I DO MIND that it was NOT posted on their website and I did not find out until I waited in line and it was my turn to pay for my groceries (over $150).
Why would Pastosa Ravioli of Bensonhurst need a google review? So weird. But anyway, for those who dont know, just about everything in that sore is homemade. And not only do they make the best mozzarella and the best ravioli in the USA...they make the best everything!
Fresh meats, love their pasta and such friendly staff.
I have been buying pizza dough, marinara sauce, and mozzarella cheese in this store for years. Never once failed me 😄
The place was constantly monitoring the flow of people to ensure that everyone was practicing social distancing. Additionally, they provide amazing and friendly customer service! And they detail oriented. The food is amazing and pricing is fair. Definitely recommend shopping there for your raviolis and manicotti (thats my usual).
Theres a reason this place has been around for over 50 years. This small family owned store has all the Italian essentials you could ask for. The meats and cheeses are fantastic, especially the homemade mozzarella. The pasta and ravioli are the namesake for a reason, theyre delicious!
I love this place. Ive been shopping here for almost 30 years. Actually Ive been buying my Extra Virgin olive here for almost 30 years. I cannot find a better olive oil anywhere.Their meats and cooked food selection are always fresh. They also have an excellent Olive selection as well.
Fabulous selection of home made pastas and Italian salumaria. Renowned for the raviolis.
Not a bad place to pick up a quick meal or some pasta essentials. Goods did not appear to look old or not fresh. Not a large establishment. Service was satisfactory.
Its a good (and the only in the neighborhood) place to get Italian food ingredients, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, etc. Wide range of pasta, house made ravioli. They have a butcher and ready meals too. Great place to get your fresh meal cutlets. Place has overall good quality food but its way overpriced.Customer service is poor, the cashiers look at you like you are thief while you pay a $100 bill. If someone opens another Italian store in the area and guarantees good quality, this place will go out of business fast.
Wonderful selection of everything you need for the perfect pasta dinner. True brooklyn historical italian spot. home made pastas, lots of antipastos, meats, dry goods, amazing cheeses. You have to check this place out Its amazing.
Very friendly staff and really fresh ravioli. Will be back to try other items.
Walked in here and the choices were endless. The fresh ravioli is to die for! I wish I bought more. I almost overlooked the antipasto salad in the deli section and wow Im so glad I bought some. I couldnt believe how delicious it was. This place is a MUST for any Italian ingredients you may need. Absolutely superb!
This store always has fresh food and decent prices for the quality of food. Great friendly customer service. I always stop by here on my day off to pickup food for the week. One of the few good places we have left in bensonhurst.
Ive been a fan of Pastosa from the 1970s. Quality selection of homemade pasta and ravioli. Wide selection of appetizers and imported foods. A must stop for any Sunday dinner preparation. Friendly, courteous and knowledgeable staff. We highly recommend this wonderful neighborhood shop.
Very friendly place! I just wanted to buy ground meat around the place where I did my laundry, so I didn’t walk to the supermarket which I familiar with. Its a busy supermarket, so I quickly scan the store. I didn’t see ground meat in the supermarket, so I left. I was standing on the street and searching if there is any place that I can get ground meat near by. An worker walked out and asked if I had gotten anything I want. I asked him about the ground meat. He led me back to the store and got ground meat to me. (The store is colorful, pretty and clean. I like the cheese wall.)
If I could live in a market, this would be it. They have a huge assortment of ravioli and tortellini for purchase! They also have outstanding gluten free gnocchi for people who cant have the flour based goodness.I went in there to buy a pound of ravioli and ended up leaving the store with 4 pounds of assorted ravioli, stuffed peppers with goat cheese, mini porcini mushroom dumplings, gluten free gnocchi, and 2 pounds of pizza dough...The staff is very friendly and it really is a local joint with a great name and reputation despite operating multiple locations throughout jersey and long Island. I will be adding this place to the list of Brooklyn staples.Warning: You cant possibly walk in here for ONE thing...
Loved the fresh squid ink pasta. The ravioli is good too but a bit pricey. Love the selection of food. It is a small specialty market but they seem to have a system that works. Cant wait to try other food from them.
Fantastic Italian grocery products of the highest quality.SaucesRaviloi in multiple flavors. Frozen and fresh. Fresh pasta and sauces, cold and cooked dishes for home meals with no hassle. Friendly systematic customer service. Reasonably priced. An institution for so many more reasons. This location also makes the ravilois for their expanding franchise locations.
My sister and I went over to Pastosas specifically for the ravioli and sauce. This time we picked out the mushroom and the spinach and got a small container of vodka sauce. We had company over and everything was a hit! There were so many other things we wanted to try, rice balls, mac and cheese bites, and many other dishes that looked amazing. Were only a neighborhood away so we will be back for sure!
Small and authentic, fresh and frozen foods. The refrigerated pizza dough and fresh pesto sauce were a huge hit during our weekly pizza night.
A Brooklyn staple. Always fresh food and delicious ravioli!
This place is great ! Staff friendly and food is out of this world with very fair price. Your foolish if you dont try it once
This is my favorite place in the world hahaa! If you love fresh pasta, then look no further! Ive eaten from here for over 20yrs! This is part of my childhood! You will catch me on all the holidays waiting to get my ravioli, manicotti and stuffed shells!!!! The staff is always helpful and its alwaus super clean! The best food ever, you wont be disappointed!
Its so easy to fall in love with Pastosa Ravioli. The Italian grocery is full of fresh food, boxes of frozen raviolis you will want to purchase in Costco proportions, sauces, and other Italian staples. While in line, pick up a bag of foccacia bread. Its the perfect appetizer. Store closes early but dont fret. The staff will guide you along the way so that you have everything you need just in time to be home for dinner.
Awesome store. Go hungry and you walk out with alot more. Delicious cooked foods.
I took a several-hour side trip through NYC with a stick shift just to stop here in my old neighborhood and pick up some frozen ravioli. The pumpkin flavor is to die for. Its as good as I remembered and I think they have upgraded the packaging since I lived nearby.
One of my favorite Italian store in Brooklyn. There are known of their Raviolis that come frozen but only takes about 8 - 10 minutes of boiling water to cook into a delicious meal for the family. There are also dry and fresh pastas, riceballs, prepared food and other imported Italian goods. And if youre not an Italian grandmother, you can pick up some fresh and frozen sauces.
NEVER GO THERE HUNGRY.....OMGTHERE FOOD IS AMAZING .....I ALWAYS GO THERE HUNGRY, AND BUY OUT THE STORE.....THERE BRAND OF CRUSHED TOMATOESMAKES THE BEST POT OFMEAT SAUCE!!!!!THERE COOKED BRACCIOLE IS SO FREAKING DELICIOUSI PUT THEM IN MY SAUCETOTALLY AMAZING!!!!
If you are remotely in the area, you MUST stop by to buy lard bread, cheese/parsley sausage and spinach ravioli in the largest quantities you can possibly carry. They really know how to make the best Italian goods and I would probably buy fresh items from here every day if I lived nearby.
One of the only places I will go for my fresh manicotti and stuffed shells. As soon as you enter the store your mouth will begin to water from the smell of the prepared to eat food.
Absolute pleasure to shop here. Everyone very helpful and friendly. Great selection of prepared foods and pasta ALWAYS fresh!
When are you going to reopen your Brooklyn location?I cant wait much longerI need those wonderful Italian specialties that you haveEverything is so good!!!Pastosa is the best Italian specialty store in Brooklyn
Great Italian market and incredibly friendly staff. Their fresh pasta and their meatballs are delicious. The meat sauce wasnt my favorite, but my family loved it.
Best fresh pasta anywhere - raviolis, manicotti, stuffed shells - you cant go wrong. Plain noodles as well. Also great antipasto bar, fresh mozzarella, and various Italian specialties.
Been shopping here since the 1980s. Still the same wonderful place. Ill go here rather than go shop in long Island for Raviolis or any other pasta or meat.
I wont buy ravioli anywhere else.
The best Italian food store!Great food , very friendly and helpful staff.Thanks a lot!
Fantastic food, always fresh and most importantly, Absolutely Amazing and friendly service...which seems to be lost on most other stores these days! (Im looking at you Frank and Sals).Keep it up and its always a pleasure!
This is one of the few great Italian import food stores in the borough of Brooklyn. Everything you need for your feast can be bought here. People come from Staten Island and New Jersey, forgettaboutit this is the place.
Hands down best Italian products in the neighborhood. The store looks and smells amazing. The people behind the counter were very helpful and friendly. I would recommend this store to anyone who is looking for some great quality in food.
This store has all the Italian food you could ever want. All fresh and delicious. The best!
Amazing if you love ravioli they have an insane variety that marinara sauce is to die for
The place to go when you want delicious ravioli fine Italian specialty items.
Seriously wonderful ravioli, (dont freeze it; youll lose their ricottas luscious creaminess) and very good salumaria foods. Highly recommended.
Food is consistent and ALWAYS delicious!!!
BEST manicotti and ravioli along with the best fresh licotelli grated cheese around. Everything made fresh. Friendly staff. This place has been a surviving staple of the Bensonhurst and Dyker Heights area forever. Go try something there today.
What an amazing place this is. The product is traditional and absolutely superb.The staff is wonderful to deal with. Everyone is polite, efficient and take pride in what they do.There are very places that deliver this service along with a great product.Keep up the good work.
Great people working in the store. Very helpful, courteous, very polite. Fast service and the best food. I recommend everyone to go to their Pastosa store. You will always go back for more.
A great place for pasta sauces, cheese (love the salted, fresh mozzarella), and cold cuts. Friendly service.

As good and authentic as ever...Ravioli and meat like no other....
Amazing sauces and homemade pastas. The chopped meat is goo. Their cooked food is great. Cold cut section is amazing. Quick service.
Bought what was supposed to be a fully cooked dish but the center of the chicken was raw. The raviolis were good though.
Excellent I have been going there for 40 years. I have moved to Philadelphia and I still cant wait to get back to Brooklyn so I can get good ravioli

The staff there is so helpful, the food is really good, your mouth waters just walking into the place. It makes you feel good to know your going home with good food. Enkpy your dinner mmmmmmm
Growing up in Bklyn, my mother, grandmother and aunt would always make their own ravioli and pasta for the holidays, however, when the crowds got too big and back-up was needed, Pastosa was always the go to source to compete with home made
I have been going to Pastosa since the 1980s and they have always been top notch with all their products. They have been an Italian tradition for most of my life! Keep it up!
Amazing Italian specialty shop. You can find any social ingredients here. Great homemade gluten free pasta as well.
My mother shops there. They also have gluten free ravioli, very good food.
I love this place. The foods is fresh, the employees are awesome and helpful and the prices are reasonable ❤️❤️
Pastosa is definitely the best! The food and Pasta is always fresh and delicious. The workers are wonderful. The owner is amazing.

2021-11-13Went to your Florham Park locale today. Bought a pound of Parma Prosciutto, Fresh Mozzarella, Sundried Tomatoes in ROASTED OV, and two amazing long rolls. Perhaps the best sandwich I have ever had! Amazing place! Service impeccable and the food was glistening with freshness! Near Religious experience !! 🇮🇹

Review №3
2019-12-23First time visiting this location and I was highly impressed. The fresh raviolis, graded cheese and marinara sauce was exactly what we were looking for at the last minute of our Christmas shopping. Highly looking forward to enjoy the authentic Italian food for our Christmas Eve family dinner. The customer service was also good and very friendly. They even sell cryo ice packs to keep the food and sauces cold for the ride home. Excellent store and would highly recommend!

2022-05-31Cheeses and sauces are incredible, have yet to try the raviolis but I will 100% be back. The staff were wonderful as well, highly recommend this place! 👍🏻

2020-12-15Even though I no longer live in the city, it’s never a wasted trip when you end it with a visit to Pastosa. I went to the flagship and it never disappoints. The mutzadel is wet and creamy. It’s mouth watering. The ravs are 2nd to none. They are boxed fresh and ready to go. Take a look at some pics
Review №6
2017-07-12Stopped by for some prepared foods. The store was spotless and the counter staff was very helpful. You should know that the aroma when you walk in is enough to make you hungry. I have happily purchased freshly prepared chicken cutlets, broccoli rabe, garlic bread, eggplant parm and cavatelli with sausage in a cream sauce. I also picked up imported Italian soda. Will return soon to get fresh made pasta and antipasti.
