These guys are amazing! The food is yummy. We can't wait to go back for more ravioli!! Jennie read more

I purchased a box of "fresh" cheese ravioli. At home I found that there was mold on the pasta. Contacted Vita Mia via the internet; they have not had the decency to respond. Clearly they don't care about the quality. read more

Amazing deli and pasta shop with charm and ambience of the old days when Sicilian delis like these were the norm across America's urban scene. Nestled in an old world-like, half Sicilian half Albanian neighborhood, right across from the Catholic Church of Our Lady of Montevergine, the entire experience took us pleasantly back in time ... salumeria along the wall, aged provolone hanging from rope, and just about every handmade delicacy you could imagine.....and some new ones we hadn't seen before... Then there's .... the bread..... the bread.... Nowhere in America is there bread like this. This is the real deal (NOT the chain supermarkets--you know who you are) that offer supposedly "Italian" or "French" bread with marshmallow softness attributed to all the preservatives and polysorbate 80. No Signore, this bread contains all the goodness of that crispy crunchy exterior with pure angelic cloud interior that melts in your mouth! Bread this good can be eaten as dessert... (if there aren't any cannolis around).... Yeah they got those here too... We couldn't decide, and we were running late so we ended up grabbing a loaf of semolina bread just in from the oven and a container of Sicilian olives (with pits! Don't waste my time with pitted olives that taste like salted cardboard). Could say more but why? Veni e guarda (look and see for yourself)... Highly recommended. We'll be back! Ce' vediamo dopo. read more

Fun Fact: Lodi is the home to two Italian-American institutions worth celebrating... Mr. Anzalone (who turns 70 in June of 2025!) and Vitamia (nipping at his heels with about 60 years of being in the biz). I've made my way here now a few times and for whatever reason - Siri will only get me to the general area but just won't 'accept' Vitamia's specific/actual address. (I know I've 'arrived' when I see the crisscrossing of American and Italian flags at the start-and-end of the blocks denoting a very little Little Italy portion of the town.) And don't get me started on how jacked the entire length of Harrison Avenue is - causing my poor car's suspension and axle to suffer - or how much gas I usually waste when continually circling the block looking for a (legal) parking spot. Crankiness aside... for a small 'basic' deli they sure do pack a punch. An incredible selection of legit (crunchy) breads, a slew of prepared platters and meals in the refrigerated cases, all sorts of goodies hanging from hooks and then there's the freezer with an absurd amount of specialty ravioli, tortellini, tortelloni, mezzelune, cappelletti, gigante, agnolotti, fagottini... Two guys behind the counter (casually speaking Italian to each other) are able to keep up with all the foot traffic (that never seems to let up) and a few guys manning the ovens in the back that are continually refilling the metal bins by the cash register. (With 800 days of Duolingo under my belt I was tempted to try, "È delizioso. Mi dai la ricetta?" when leaving but flaked out and just went with, "Grazie mille!" which... fell flat.) Parking (as mentioned before) stinks. For every item I've tried and loved (stuffed breads, stuffed pastas) there's been a few that were major disappointments, unfortunately. Their pricing is a tad too rough on my wallet. On a prior visit I dropped over $80 and I made a mental not to not do that again. Most recent visit? Over $100. So, yeah... that's not good. (And just in case you give a hoot - Glenn Anzalone is better known by his stage name of 'Danzig'. Now go and crank some early Misfits songs and thank me later!) read more

We've been shopping here over 20 years. Fresh mozzarella, fresh pasta of all sizes and shapes, homemade ravioli (heart shaped on Valentine's Day), sausage bread to die for, meatballs, fresh tomato sauce. It's all superb and fresh made. Mangia! read more

A true Italian deli. Incredible selections of ravioli made in house. Sausage and peppers, fresh mozzarella cheese. I loved this place.

What can I not say about this place? It's amazing if you want Italian this is the place to go to their fresh mozzarella. Their ravioli their bread. Everything is amazing. I love this place. I been going there for 40 years. Highly recommend you won't be disappointed. read more

If you're craving ravioli, you can go to the supermarket and get various brands in the freezer section for convenience, and often mediocrity. But if you want a more authentic, nonna-style experience, consider taking a ride to Vitamia & Sons. They make fresh ravioli and sell them refrigerated, not frozen. There is no comparison to supermarket style, Vitamia is superior. They also have one of the best bakeries for bread; try a fresh loaf of semolina or a sausage bread. The refrigerator section has a variety of sauces and various styles of pasta. Vitamia makes prepared foods as well, with different daily specials. You can buy their sweet or hot Italian homemade sausage to cook at home. Vitamia even makes great cookies. Local street parking is tight, and prices are a bit high, but who wouldn't pay a little extra for authenticity and quality? read more

What a GEM. My husband grabbed several items from here. He shared how lovely the store and staff were. Tried their mushroom ravioli and they were SO flavorful and very stuffed. I will be shocked to see how delectable their jumbo would be. Their pink sauce smelled and tasted so fresh I thought the sausage bread was ok, but my husband enjoyed it. The size was VERY generous. We got some focaccia and spaghetti for another time and excited for them Highly recommend read more

Great! everything is great there. I wish they would deliver! Not sure what else to say. Its an institution.

Silly not to stop in for the ravioli or other pastas. Spinach bread, sausage bread or pepperoni bread, just as good. The line can be long during holidays so bring a coat as the line can go down the street. read more

My family did a culinary tour of New Jersey on Father's Day morning. We started at Vitamia and it was a great place to kick things off! Great old school vibe, amazing selection! We selected 12 ravioli (cheese), a pound of penne, and a small container of their vodka sauce. There was so much more in the store that I wanted to grab but I showed some discipline. The ravioli were fantastic, perfect pasta texture with a sublime filling. They went really well with the vodka sauce. The vodka sauce is also perfectly flavorful and a great consistency. The small container was enough for the ravioli and the wonderfully al dente fresh penne. (Plus some bread dipping) Vitamia is a great Italian pasta shop, with plenty more to offer! We'll be back! read more

Amazing family business with amazing pasta and other Italian foods. This is the ONLY place to go in North Jersey!

While their products are very good, I will not return again. As they added up the many items that I was purchasing, the total did not seem right to me. So I asked to look at the bill before paying and saw that the charges for the boxes of ravioli and a couple of other items was higher than the price tags at the refrigerator cases by a dollar or two each. when I pointed that out they said, oh we were going to change the prices on the items but he must have forgotten. He balked at my insisting that they re-do the bill and honor their posted prices. Watch your bill before paying. read more

Great variety of fresh Raviolis and fresh pasta. Authentic Italian products. Well priced.

Located at the heart of Lodi's Little Italy in NJ, this establishment is only a few minutes from the house and dropped by during lunch as I was in the mood of some fresh Italian semolina bread and it didn't disappoint. Upon arrival and being a weekday , there was only a customer in front of me as a minimum of 4 customers allowed at a time limit. While there I also picked up some rice balls (arancini) and potato coquettes. However this place is famous for their home made raviolis, sauce and sausage bread. The prices are a bit high, but the the food is worth it. The store itself was brightly lit and extremely clean. If you are in the area, it's worth a visit and it's only street parking. read more

Love Vitamia!! Love the family and all the wonderful foods inside their store!! My family loves the home made raviolis, sauce, sausage bread, long hots and poppers and all the wonderful cheeses!!! Truly one of my favorite places in the world. read more

COVID REVIEW: well worth the wait in the line. they take cards. they allow 2 people in the store at a time. I highly suggest their rice balls! they are amazing. they even have veggie friendly ones. Their vodka sauce surprised me, because at first it came off very thin, but the flavor was on point. Their ravioli are pretty good too. Theyre small, but you get a sheet of about 20 in a box. Ive tried the cheese and mushroom one. read more

Friend recommended this ravioli place in Lodi. I was like,yea they are all the same. Fooled me. When you walk in the door you can't just help but not want to get one of each. Everything looked amazing. I bought some meat raviolis,a spinach rice ball & spinach bread. Absolutely amazing. Fresh as if they just made it. I say if in area, swing by. read more

Suasage bread, riceballs and ravilois are great. Meatballs, disappointing. Marinara, too sweet for me. They dont make sandwiches and their Mozz is ok read more

everything i purchased was soo good. the ravoli cheese and meat were deliciuous and everyone enjoyed them.

Have been going there for 35 years. Best homemade raviolis around. Cannot eat them anymore as I am now gluten free. But miss them terribly

They are okay. I highly recommend their sausage bread and breaded chicken cutlets are delicious. I didn't care for their Long Hots which had a sticky residue. The roasted red peppers were in olive oil and vinegar. I prefer roasted peppers in just olive oil and garlic. read more

Love this place great food. I die for fresh pasta and this place makes my life easier.

The sausage bread. Always worth a little pit stop whenever I'm in the area. Can't beat it read more

Go in for the sausage bread and prosciutto, but stay for the sopressata, the arancini, the stuffed peppers, and the (singularly wonderful) hero sandwiches. Quiet, unassuming facade -- very old school. (I felt as though I was walking into Tony Soprano's favorite hang-out.) Almost no parking -- be prepared. Friendly, helpful staff. read more

OK, yet another reason why I will never be thin. Delicious fresh pasta, bread, sausage bread, rice balls, prepared foods, sauces, fresh mozzarella, etc, etc, etc. Lipitor, oh Lipitor, you beckon for me yet I refuse!

Don't forget the "&Sons when you reccomend it, I know it's not the local way but I keep it respectful. That's who took over and kept the great legacy alive. Thanks for keeping it real. read more

Went this morning when they opened (Sunday 1/24/2021). The sign said one customer at a time but it was freezing out and there was 4 of us so we all waited inside away from everyone. Already the guy behind the counter had an attitude. "NEXT!!!" We were like alright we've never been here before give us a chance take the people behind us. Again "NEXT, I DONT CARE WHO'S NEXT. Really, that's your customer service? The Raviolis 5 Star, customer service 0 stars hence my 3 star rating. read more

Hands down the best place in Jersey to get fresh ravioli, pasta and stuffed shells. They have a lot of other great prepared food specialities. The bread is amazing. This is our go to spot for these types of things. They have many many other Italian staples as well. read more

BEST PIZZAGAINA IVE EVER HAD You guys know me as the Pizzagaina queen lol and great sausage bread

Vitamia makes some very good salads, breads, and hot foods but the price is quite strap. Cheaper than Latona's who should be imprisoned for their prices but I would rather pay higher prices for good food than lower prices for garbage. read more

Great old school deli with amazing sandwiches. Owners are incredibly friendly. Highly recommend when in Garfield!

Had to make a stop at Vita Mia this morning for some Italian specialty food and dessert for Sunday. I just discovered this place about four months ago and it's awesome . It is carry out only . Expect lines day before most holidays. Stuffed breads are great and priced at about $9. Boxed ravioli is all homemade and $6. The lobster tail desserts are to-die-for and huge! Boxed ravioli is priced a bit on the high side , but hey , where else can you get all kinds of homemade pastas. The stuff in the case looked great as well ....sliced eggplant parm, chicken parm, chicken franchese, and homemade fresh mozzarella . Parking is on the street only and sometimes difficult . Store is fairly small , but is loaded with lots of good stuff. They accept credit cards as well and they don't complain about paying with card, like some other specialty stores do. read more
