    Anyone know who makes fresh these days? I called Conte di Savoia and the girl I spoke with said they only have frozen, and was not clear on when or how they were originally produced. Convito It. used to, but since they left downtown, I don't know who else might. Specifically looking for tortellini.

    Pasta Fresh @ 3418 N Harlem does. Good stuff, too.

    I'm pretty sure that Pasta Puttana has started selling filled pastas. Email Jessica Volpe (jvolpe@pastaputtana.com) or Tweet her @PastaPuttana to ask her directly.

    Seconded - the crab ravioli is fantastic.

    Yep, check her tweets. I've had some good ravioli and cannelloni from there.

    How strange. The times I've been in there, they have had a variety of fresh tortellini/oni, ravioli, etc. in the deli cabinet next to the register. I have not tried it, though.

    I can also confirm that the packaging of their frozen stuff does not give anything away. This is my first time trying it and, sadly, I only rate it about 2 ½ stars: passable for a quick dinner. I, too, will be checking out Pasta Puttana.
