gritty dirt in the pesto ravioli. If I could give this pasta zero stars I would. We just cooked up a pot of Raffetto's pesto ravioli we bought at Fairway and there is gritty dirt in the ravioli. We washed off the sauce, just to make sure the feeling of eating dirt grinding on our teeth was coming from the ravioli and sure enough it was. I guess they didn't wash the basil before making the ravioli. Needless to say we threw our dinner out!

Raffetto's the best pasta you'll ever find any where .. I grew up on mac dougal st so I known about this place all my life . I moved away about 15 years ago and just miss it so much. nothing beats their quality. your best bet in nyc .

Freshest past around. I've loved this place for years! They have lovely ravioli & sauces, but my favorite part is getting my fresh pasta order cut to order on their ancient machine. I only wish that they were open later so I could shop there more often.

amazing pasta. The only place I buy my ravioli now. The wild mushroom and artichoke are my most favorite!

Artisanal cuisine comes alive in front of your very eyes at this old-world pasta purveyor.. The Scene
Every New Yorker knows the joy of popping into Krispy Kreme, just as the "Hot" light is about to go on, and witnessing the birth of his or her doughnut. Well take that thrill and triple it--at Houston Street's age-old Raffetto's the pasta making process is all about you, baby. This is artisanal cuisine at its most amusing. Choose your dough (e.g., spinach, wheat), select your stuffing and watch the whirring machine whip your ravioli into existence. Now that's entertainment.

The Goods
And mama mia, that's tasty pasta! It's not just novelty that's kept Raffetto's in business for more than 100 years. It's the seriously scrumptious grub. Decades-worth of clued-in foodies know that a bag of this custom cuisine will run you just a few bucks where supposedly hand-crafted ravioli will cost five times that or more at "gourmet" shops.
