Fantastic selection of all foods Italian. You will pay a little more for their ample and bountiful selection - its not like the Italian section of Shoprite - but worth it for those items you just cant get elsewhere. My wife is particular about her canned tomatoes for lasagna and this is the spot to get them.
Food is delicious. Besides the amazing ravioli, you can find all kinds of Italian specialty items. The bakery is very good too!
We went a little crazy on our first visit...unbelievably good food!We ordered Ravioli, meat sauce, eggplant parmeasean, chicken parmeasean, and lasagna. That with a few delights from the bakery...it was so good, so fresh...we already have plans with friends for this week to go back!The staff were great, very helpful - even the other customers were happy to make recommendations!A little bit of happy on the South Ave!
The wife and I were at the Cranford location to get lunch.l let her pick the sandwich #3 it was .the sandwich was very tasty
I have been searching long for good fried eggplant and ravioli. I neighbor recommended Pastosa. Ive stocked up twice, and I have to say, their eggplant and ravioli are excellent; the best Ive had. I havent yet had the opportunity to try their other prepared foods, but I highly recommend them based on what Ive had so far!
Im so happy I found this place and its close to home. They have a very large variety of foods to choose from. Ravioli, cheeses, meats, sauces, cold cuts, subs, hot foods, fresh bread omg theres too much to list lol. The store is well organized and very clean, theres also lots of customer service and always someone willing to help. Definitely a place I will revisit again. We bought the American Combo, a roast beef and mozz sandwich, fresh mozz knots (which are very soft and flavored well), and prosciutto di parma.
Love coming here! I have not had one bad dish here. Lasagna is amazing. The take home sauces, home made pastas and hot dishes… all delish. Meatball grinders… delish. Fresh bread is also a plus
Great deli and bakery! Staff is friendly and everything is delicious! Loved that they gave discounts to first responders and teachers.
This place is the best. They really do everything to help you find what you like.
Such an amazing array of pasta, sausages, cheese, and a wonderful bakery. Definitely worth the trip
In the course of 50 years of Marriage everyone will experience the very best and the very worst in food preparation. Due to the present Corona virus I was unable to secure a restaurant to accommodate our party of 15. I turned to Margaret from Pastosa Ravioli and arranged a catering menu delivery.Everything on the menu was very good. This time something that has never happened before took place. Every person attending singled out one item they thought was exceptionally good . 100% opted for SlicedRib eye steak with mushrooms. So thank you Margaret and staff for a most successful Anniversary dinner.
They love kids. My daughter loves to pick things out there. The desserts are awesome. The cannoli cream is on point! You can even buy it in a container with no shell if you have issues with gluten.
Awesome friendly staff don’t know what to eat first everything looks amazing highly recommended🥇
Nice store. Makes good Italian products. Good pastries and more
Awesome Italian supermarket they have everything you need to make a great Italian meal.
In love with this place, everything is very fresh. I love the lobster raviolis and they have a lot dessert to choose.
We went on a sat.about a half an hour before closing time and the staff was very helpful and nice.The wife an I didnt know what we wanted to eat.The staff also had great patients with us.I thank everyone from the boss to the Crawford crew.
Was lucky enough to discover this place by accident just driving by and they had me at Fresh Mozzarella. What doesnt this place have? Everything is fresh, homemade old school Italian. Everything is so good. Didnt know which way to turn, one isle was better than the next. Filled my bag with as much as possible from garlic bread to eggplant parm heat and eat. Clean and super friendly staff, I will be back again the next time in Cranford.
Great Italian deli and grocer. Also a full bakery. Pro tip - really great chicken salad.
I had a concern and it was handled beautifully by Margaret. Wonderful help and good food. Always a pleasure 😊
This is my family’s go to spot for Italian bread. Although I am not a fan of the beef raviolis I have true favorites. The stuffed mushrooms, meatballs, breadsticks and genoa salami are on my weekly shopping trips when I am picking up our bread.
Well the store has a large selection of Italian pastas and sauces and a small bakery which has some excellent cheesecake, heres the problem we had.We asked for half a pound of vodka pasta. When the guy weighed it he said oh its way over a half a pound. In any store we have ever been in and thats many many stores they simply go back and scoop off the excess if its over by enough and it was way way over!We didnt notice till after we paid that he had over 1 lb of pasta in that container. When you ask for half a pound its acceptable to get a little bit over maybe .6 or .7 of a pound at the very most. But the weight of this container was over 1 lb. We bought several other items and didnt notice but events like this will make us not want to come back. Management should really talk to their people at the counter to understand that when people ask for a specific weight they need to be accurate.It is unacceptable to give someone more than twice the amount they want especially when you notice your mistake and dont fix it!Nobody wants to be that person that has to double check somebody elses work especially when youre the customer and its not your job to do so but bad employees like this are the reason we will in the future.I hope management takes the time to realize this and check with their employees to make sure theyre doing their jobs correctly next time for other customers than us.For anyone that shops here make sure you check your weights before you leave the counter.#Overweight #incorrectweight #overcharge #lazyemployee #pasta #vodka pasta #Italianfood #cranford
Great fresh mozzarella. A box of 12 round ravioli is a must. Bread is fresh everyday. Bakery items are over priced.
Awesome selection, great bakery, friendly staff
Fantastic store with nice employees. It does get crowded at times and results in a line to get in, but I suppose that is because it is a great store.
Fantastic Food. A bit pricey, but its a very high quality.
Excellent place, every time I go in there I want to buy everything from their prepared foods to groceries.
This place is awesome and the people working there makes the customer priority one! Thanks for the service!!
The best Italian deli around here!
Pastoral Ravioli is an amazing store and gem in Cranford! Everything in homemade and made fresh that day. They have freshly made salads, entries (hot and cold) and their homemade Mozzarella is out of this world!If you havent tried this store you have truly missed out! Just be warned, once you have tried their offerings, you will hooked for life!
Great food and friendly folks
Love everything here especially the ravioli and vodka sauce. Everyone that works there is so pleasant
Great place for some good ole Italian food. Deli is great and so is the staff.
Tried getting Italian bread. None available. Need to make more each day. One register opened in bakery. No help on the floor.
Amazing deli selections
Loved this market...great selection.. will definitely come back.. only criticism is soup was lacking flavor
Don’t forget to get your hummus here. It’s like homemade and you’ll be happy.
Good sandwich aervice a little slow
Its like Arthur Ave of the Bronx in Cranford, NJ. Everything looked delicious!
Love their fresh pastas, and and Great Raviolis.
Wonderful Italian food. The pepper steak is the best I have ever had. It is made with large pieces of delicious steaks. The deli counter has everything from fresh made salads, main entrees to fresh meats and of course ravioli to take home. They have fresh breads and many different packaged cookies. The staff is always very friendly. I highly recommend Pastosa.
Omg my uncle LOVES this place when hes here from italy. Its hard to actually remove him from here haha. Very nice staff, simple quick customer service.
A little pricey but the food is good. Where else can you purchase a Tomahawk steak?Everything Ive had from this place has been very goodReview by, Dennis Cabarle
Love their ravioli big variety. Their sauces bread sausage steaks cold cuts. Very clean friendly atmosphere. And at this time social distancing 100% safe
Great fresh pasta and wide variety of prepared Italian dishes. Anthony could not be more accomadating. Its well.worth the drive from my home in.Hoboken.
My blessed purveyors of Fiuggi water. The experience felt a little rushed with a line outside due to the pandemic but thats to be expected. Right now, its better to know what you need in advance because it seems like browsing is frowned upon right now.
Had the raviolis and manicotti along with there homemade sauce all week very good - bought a side of pre cooked meatballs which were about the size of a baseball - warmed them up on the sauce - got a loaf of bread, which was still warm - while paying them came out with more hot bread cant beat that for fresh - all that along with some red wine made for a very nice dinner -
Great Italian Meat Market Deli and now pastry great products
Ral autentic, fresh, lots more than you would expect. Great service
The best food in Cranford. They have the nicest customer service and owner. We love their meats, cheeses, sandwiches and of course pasta /sauces. They are always very helpful when placing my order. Pastosa’s is our go to for lunch and dinner!
Great for ravioli! Spectacular Gluten Free section!
Worst dry meatballs,they are cooked in the sauce and very expensive. Next time, I will buy Mama mia.
They have a bakery now! Great local italian market with fruits, produce, a deli counter, cheeses, and a really nice frozen section.
Excellent food
Great food selections.
Excellent food and service. The only negative: ox tail entree was a little oversalted.
Great place for Italian specialties. Great service and friendly staff
I love this place for years and now my daughter does too!
Very good
Great place! Fantastic customer service with a great selection of foods. Large Gluten free, Dairy free selection
Wow, Italian food products, fantastic cold cuts, fresh baked breads, this place is wonderful, truly an Italian gem. But then everything Italian is the best.
Great store, Great service, Great products... 5 star!!!
This place is such a gem. My family has become such pasta and sauce snobs since discovering this place.
I did order catering from Pastosa in Cranford for my daughter graduation party. Food was really good, I got a lot of compliments for tasty meal. It was little bit of issue when I was ordering my food but next day I called and I did talk to owner Anthony about what happened and let me tell you. Owner is amazing, he really did his job and did take care of the business. I was really happy and definitely recommend this place for catering and definitely going for great food there.
This sub used to be worth. 13 bucks. Never knew fresh mozzarella was cut paper thin and the bread shrunk. Lesson learned.
A great Italian Market, in New Jersey. Their prepared foods are great, their selection of anything you could ever want is unbeatable. Always easy to find parking.
Almost Good as my Mothers 👌
The ravioli are excellent. Fresh, creamy, and a wide selection of stuffing. They also have very good bread, Italian specialties and prepared meals.
Truly an experience ! Not a one item and out store . Wonderful aromas are present the moment you enter . Fresh, frozen and dry foods fill the floor . Work your way to the meat counter & deli, from sandwiches, to meat or seafood . There is something that will be dinner tonite. Breads and pastas, along with oils sauces and spreads tempt you . Just when you thought your out ; something drags you back in . Its easy to find, easy to park, a pleasure to shop . The folks there are helpful and always make your shopping experience a great one ...So why are you reading !!! GO SHOP THERE!!
Fantastic authentic Italian pork store. Meats,cheeses, pasta.
Great place for Italian foods. Awesome selection of meats and cheeses, and all the things youd expect. The raviolis are delicious. The Speck was cut super thin and melts in your mouth. I cant always find it, so I was pleasantly surprised they had it. Dont drive by this place.
Excellent deli and bakery!
Great food
If you need anything Italian this is the place to go!
No social distancing.Customers were walking around with no masks.I had to put down my items and leave.
Very helpful. Great service.
My favorite deli. The food is delicious.
Great selections and fresh!
Possibly the BEST Italian deli in the tri state area. Wonderful products and brands that can sometimes be found only in Italy .Friendly, helpful and very accommodating staff and management . Visiting Pastosa is always a wonderful experience and taking home their ravioli is even better ! They are up and freshly stocked during this crisis .
I used to frequent this store when they were in Brooklyn. Their fresh ravioli is just that. Never have I tasted ravioli and pasta like this. So fresh. Since coming to Clark, its so much more convenient for me now. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and makes you feel like your at your familys house. If its not on their menu, it can still be made. So go and experience pastosas. You WILL NOT BE SORRY YOU DID.
Delicious premade options as well as grocery items. We love their marinara, broccoli rabe, rice balls, fresh bread....
Excellent, fresh pasta. It seems a bit pricey, but I dont shop at Italian grocers often, so maybe this is par for the course. They have fresh and packaged pasta, a deli, and prepared food. If you dont buy anything, its nice to even just walk around. There is no dedicated parking lot so you will have to settle for street parking.
Best Italian deli everything thing is freshly made in the store. They bring real new york to New Jersey. They have free parking in the rear of the store. Easy to work with they catered all of my parties.
One of my favorite favorite Italian deli’s.Terrific foodgreat staff
Always a great experience, everything is fresh and delicious. If you’re buying your cold cuts at ShopRite or another chain grocery store... just stop and try Pastosa.
We ordered a sandwich and it came out to $14 and they barely put anything on it. Such a rip off. Go somewhere that actually cares about providing good service. Incredibly disappointed. Not worth the money at all
I am originally from Brooklyn. When I first moved to Jersey all I wanted was a good deli, along with some good italian bread. I drove by Pastosa about 5 years later. I was super happy. I use to go to the location in Staten Island often to get my cold cuts, sauce, ravioli ans bread. Now so happy I just drive 15 minutes and I can get fresh items.
As you walk through the door you SMELL the freshness and the aroma of the fantastic food the have lovingly prepared for you.
The best italian Store the homemade pastas and sauces everything is a flavor Burst
Top of the line Italian deli Excellent pasta fresh and prepared; variety of breads Large selection of meats and cheese Must try appetizers especially pepperdews stuffed with blue cheese, walnuts and honey - out of this world Also great caponata
Love this place, everything is so fresh and delicious.I cant go crazy in this store.Love it.💖🤤😋
Pros: Delicious Italian food, available as ready made or make at home. Everything we had was nice, high quality and fresh. Cons: Quite pricey. Always packed on the weekend! Checkout area is not very well though out, and it creates a lot of confusion with shoppers.
Great store for quality Italian food. Excellent sauce, great ravioli and tons of other choice specialty items.
This place is awesome! All different types of Italian food, candies, and drinks. Quite busy with people from all around dying for some great Italian food. Their deli products are out of this world. Defiantly recommend going there!
Great customer service! Great food!
The food is fabulous and the staff is very friendly and helpful.
