Raffetto's is an old-world fresh pasta-making shop that has been around so long that it's received a 2004 Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation Award.

The quality of the pasta is as good as it gets, allowing you to choose desired thickness and type (choices range from spinach and tomato to rosemary and wheat) and boxes of ravioli come stuffed with everything from lobster and mushrooms to spinach and cheese. You can also purchase sausages, fresh imported buffalo mozzarella, freshly made sauces (try the vodka sauce!), olive oils, desserts, spring water, and much more while you're at it.
