"Operating in Greenwich Village for over a century, Raffetto’s is described as a “monument to fresh pasta.” Its pasta is offered from wooden drawers (dried), refrigerators (fresh, prepared at the company’s factory in New Jersey), or cut to a customer’s liking at the shop. Beatrice Tosti di Valminuta, owner of Il Posto Accanto, says “that store should be a designated landmark and a UNESCO World Heritage site,” and more than 200 businesses in the tri-state area source their pasta from Raffetto’s." - Luke Fortney
