Raffetto's is a New York Institution. I've been coming here for years and Sarah is amazing. I always try to stop in when I'm in the city. Every time I come it's always warm and welcoming, the service is fantastic and the prices are reasonable. Everything you purchase tastes amazing and their recommendations are great. The location itself has the old school charm of a store from yesteryear. The prices are inexpensive and you really get a lot for your money. I can not stress how important it is to shop your local stores. This place deserves true recognition for how amazing the staff, the owner and how great the pasta they make truly is. One last thing. BRING BACK THE MUSHROOM PASTA! read more

Great spot. Lots of choice and actually reasonable prices for the quality and quantity you get. I got some fresh pasta and cooked it last night - it was magic! Loved it.

We were looking to grab some items before heading to Washington square park and came across Raffettos. We ordered their sun dried tomato chicken sandwich and ended up grabbing some of their fresh pasta as well to take home. The sandwich was delicious and the perfect park picnic food. The employees were all so friendly and they have a large variety available in store. We'll definitely be back! read more

This is one of my absolute favorite spots in Manhattan -- a must-visit if you're in Greenwich Village! Their homemade pasta is unlike anything I've ever had. The ravioli, in particular, might be the best I've had ever -- restaurant or homemade, nothing compares to Raffetto's. I've been coming here for years and just recently discovered they also make ice cream -- and it's to die for! The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, too. If you buy fresh pasta, they'll even give you cooking instructions to make sure it comes out perfectly. read more

Raffetto's - Cannelloni with arabiatta sauce and fresh mozzarella! - Specialty Food Near Me - New York, New York

Raffetto's is an authentic Italian specialty shop and carries all foods I am familiar with and love. Established in 1906 and still going strong, I remember my mother shopping here when I was a kid and through the subsequent years. Their Raviolis cannot be beat---price and quality. From Gorgonzola with Walnut and Goat Cheese to Lobster, Roasted Red Pepper and traditional Cheese, you'll find it difficult to make a selection. Or you could do what I did and stock up. Whether it's jumbo sized or the smaller variety, you'll be satisfied. Everything is made on the premises. The jumbo are square in shape and FYI, the Goat Cheese variety is to die for and delicious. Each piece is huge! Not to be excluded, the store also carries: variety of cheese, olive oil, vinegar, canned goods such as Italian Tuna packed in oil as well as sweets including the delicious Torrone (a nougat-like candy). Just to name a few. The store is spacious but not huge, immaculate and run by a friendly staff. Check them out. read more

We came here for a private party (small ~25 people). Having this in a retail pasta store was a memorable experience. We got a little history lesson on the business, learning that it now 4th generation. They make several variations of homemade pastas, and have a small store that supports your pasta purchase with various goods needs for making your own sauce, or you can purchase the homemade sauces made in-house. I was impressed with all the "goodies" in the store and the reasonable pricing. Prepared foods, fresh dough, many ravioli, and other stuffed pastas, cheeses and the grocery items. A one stop shop. We were there for the "pop-up pasta" experience. (Menu shown in photos) Having the menu items introduced by Sarah and Emily was authentic and entertaining. Each course was delightful. The pop-up experience was a wonderful experience and is a great consideration for any gathering of true Italian pasta. Go check out the retail store and ask about the Petite Pasta Joint. read more

So delicious and such a great price too!! So authentic, it tastes just like my Italian uncle's cooking (don't tell him). The lasagna is my fave - it's packed with so many layers and the pastas are something else. Unlike any other spot I've had. Also easy to take home and just cook in your oven if you want something to store in the freezer. Staff are all sweet! Will be back. read more

If you're looking for fresh homemade deliciousness, this is the place for you! They have a variety of fresh, frozen, and dried pastas and even though the store seems tiny, there are treasures galore every where you look! I came in planning only to buy pasta and ended up heading to the cashier with tons of goodies. They accept both card and cash and their hot sausages are definitely spicy! If you're looking to make your upcoming pasta meal easy, this is also the place for you! They have all of the ingredients to ensure that your Pasta Night is a success including ricotta and bolognese sauce and it's way better than anything you can find in the grocery store and tastes like perfect bolognese sauce! read more

It's like a kidnapped an Italian grandmother and told her to make the best raviolis or else.

Service was great. Food was Amazing! The BEST sauce I've ever had! I forgot the name.of the gentleman that assisted me (owner, 4th Gen). That marinara sauce hands down the BEST I've ever had! read more

Great quality and great prices! If you're ever in the mood to make super high quality pasta that tastes better than restaurant food, this is the place to go. I got penne, ricotta and arrabbiata sauce and made a delicious meal with it from here read more

This is an amazing spot to purchase homemade pasta and sauces to eat at home! There is a large selection and you cannot go wrong with any style of pasta or sauce. They keep in the freezer but would recommend eating within 2-3 days! it is an affordable, restaurant-style meal to have at home. So easy to put together since all you have to do is boil the pasta and heat up the sauce! I have never had a bad meal here. read more

I ordered spinach fettuccine and cheese ravioli from Farm to People. The freshness and quality was unbelievable. The spinach flavor was delicious and has specks of spinach throughout the dough, actually attractive and yummy. The classic cheese ravioli had a very clean taste so you got a milky freshness from the filling. The dough of both pastas was fantastic. read more

I surely miss this wonderful Italian specialty store and I wish she would open one uptown! Even Midtown because I no longer live in the area when I was shopping every week at your beautiful place. But, I will be down there once a month at least, to purchase your delicious pasta and other delicacies. Glad you are now excepting credit cards and ATM cards. read more

i love their house made pasta The pink sauce is my fav i made an amazing soup with the tortellini. Everything i've tried is fantastic

Like others, we have been coming here for years! Their pasta cut to requested size is delicious and we love their ravioli too! All of the employees are so kind and easy to work with. We often leave with more food than we intended to buy! read more

I came in to get a box of fresh pasta and send as a gift! I chose the lobster with tomato dough ravioli (around $12), and it help up well through my carry-on on the flight. My friend loved it!

In our world of look alike, tasteless pasta, there is Raffetto. It would seem taste and texture should not be hard but it appears to be. With Raffestos you are reminded what pasta tastes like, feels right on your fork and tongue. read more

This is CASH ONLY but wow. Amazing. Homemade. Cheap. Quick. What's not to like? I'm Sicilian and have grown up on the best homemade pastas and this is place is tops. We got the cheese raviolis, the tomato basil sauce, and the potato gnocchi for a total of $15. That's the price of some mediocre, oily pad Thai down the block! We're talking homemade, fresh, incredible pasta and sauce from a NY institution. The cheese raviolis are delicious, as is their sauce, and we haven't even tried the potato gnocchi yet before I dashed to write this review. Can't wait to try the pumpkin ravioli with sage butter next. 5 stars!!!! read more

I really wanted chicken parm, with fresh spaghetti noodles, so I did a Google search of where to go in the area for good, freshly made pasta. Rafetto's came up in the search, so I checked out the website, as well as their online reviews. They checked all the boxes, so I made my way there. I've actually never went out and bought fresh, scratch-made pasta before, so I ain't gone lie, I was kinda excited! I walked in to see pasta....everywhere! Kinda what I imagine the afterlife to be like. I checked out the menu for pasta that they cut for you onsite. I didn't see spaghetti as an option, so I asked the woman at the counter. She said that they don't cut spaghetti on site, but that they do have some packaged from their manufacturer. She assured me that it was fresh, and that if it's spaghetti I want, that I should definitely use spaghetti noodles, and not another pasta. She was super kind and helpful. I got the packaged spaghetti to cook that night. I had more excitement as I was home, preparing my chicken parm. You can see on the package, that their ingredients are all natural. I added them to my boiling salt water, and cooked them for about 4 minutes. At that point, they were the perfect al dente. I tasted one by itself and man..........so.fresh. so.good. You clearly taste the difference from the boxed pasta. It makes you never wanna go back to it, which I never plan to do. So trust me when I say that when you go here, even if they don't cut the pasta that you want, on site, if they offer it pre-packaged from their manufacturer, you're still in good hands! It WILL be fresh and delicious! read more

My friend introduced me to this place when we cooked together - it's incredible! They sell fresh ravioli (so many flavors) at 50 pieces for around $10 usually and it makes for a delicious easy to cook meal I'm not even a huge ravioli or pasta person but I absolutely loved it!! Warning they're cash only. I embarrassingly didn't have any cash and they were so nice - letting me come back and just pay another time. The staff are the best! read more

OMG!!! Hands down in the top 2 best pastas we've ever had. Was lucky to snag a TGTG bag 12 minutes before the pick up ended. We were an 8 minute walk away and felt the stars were alighted after checking the app on a whim. We hightailed it from Washington square park- such cute dogs at the park. We couldn't resist buying marina sauce at full price to complete our Italian dinner. Wow, bottled marinara from the store can suck it, no comparison. You taste the history, the love, and craftsmanship that comes from generations of making magic in the form of sauce and pasta. Thank you Raffetto's for an incredible culinary journey that we experienced in our own kitchen. Took us right back to our travels in Rome, dreamy. read more

Great, affordable homemade pasta. My favorite place to shop before a dinner party. A true NYC shop.

This place is a gem! My boyfriend and I got the fresh truffle ravioli and frozen mini pumpkin ravioli, plus sauce, a ball of fresh mozzarella and a bag of grated Parmesan. The cheeses were excellent and the mushroom pasta was my favorite - you can't beat fresh. I did think the sauce was a little watery but it had good flavor. This place is an institution! Definitely will get that truffle ravioli again. Cash only. read more

Rafetto's is back open for business during this pandemic for pick up at the shop, or via Mercato. You really can't go wrong with any of the items there (I surely haven't!). I'm a huge fan of their meat lasagna. Their lasagna's are premade, packaged, and refrigerated and you get a huge rectangle for less than $10. For me, that's a meal for two. I typically like to buy a few and freeze them so I can just bake them when I'm craving some comfort food. I also recommend their basil fettuccine (superb flavor) and the jumbo frozen cheese raviolis. *chef's kiss* They are CASH ONLY! read more

Raffetto's is my go-to for all things pasta when I'm in NYC. They have phenomenal pasta in all different shapes and sizes, with a plethora of ravioli flavors to choose from too, at great prices. They also have lots of homemade sauces to choose from and a variety of European ingredients as well (e.g. truffle salt, cheeses, etc.). Bonus: they have the friendliest staff who are happy to point you to the right ingredients if you have a recipe in mind. read more

Cute store! Huge pasta, ravioli, cheese, olive oil, chocolate, and Italian meats inventory! Love seeing a landmark that is keeping the Italian cuisine alive and authentic. The ladies working the place are so sweet and friendly. What's more is that the prices are beyond reasonable. I got a kale fettuccine pack for $4 and brie for $2. This can certainly be your regular shopping spot if you're into Italian dishes. Can't wait to cook my pasta, and come back to explore their ravioli boxes! Only thing missing was samples! read more
