Those stuffed shells just melt in your mouth, I couldn't believe it!

There is a location in Manalapan, NJ (and also 5 NY boros), but he said the shells in NJ came frozen, while the ones from Staten Island were fresh. I don't know -- either way, OMG!

Cardi called me asking about the martini place in New Brunswick (which I sadly had to look up the name), and I texted him back about Pastosa, and he knew (of course)! wink

Not just the shells, though... before the meal we had some great Sopressata, fresh Mozz and peppers, and some of the best imported cheeses I've ever had... man... and they mail order so no excuses! Highly recommended. cool


Don Geoff,

I guess that you didn't see THIS TOPIC that I started ( for you of course ) before you made this post! whistle lol


The Staten Island Pastosa makes their pasta fresh on the premisis as does the Brooklyn one. The Jersey one gets their stuff from S.I. and Bklyn and they freeze it.


Don Cardi cool

Five - ten years from now, they're gonna wish there was American Cosa Nostra. Five - ten years from now, they're gonna miss John Gotti.
