I purchased a few items today at the European Christmas Market only to get home and feel like I had been hustled. The lady in the booth told us the tiramisu was straight from Italy only to get home and realize that it was the same tiramisu that I had purchased from Costco a few days earlier. She also sold us a can of olive oil that Best by date was 11/21/25! We haven’t tried that ravioli that we also purchased but I am truly disappointed. As someone who like to support small business whenever I can I do feel like I was hustled for sub par products. Be aware and make sure you check expiration dates before purchasing from them.

I got 3 boxes of pasta and they were all delicious. I got cheese & garlic, fig & Gorgonzola, and sweet corn. The fig one was a little gritty because of the texture of fig but was still delicious. They all paired well with the creamy tomato sauce.

I will say it was hard to pick up the unique flavors of each ravioli. I mainly tasted ricotta cheese in all of them. But still, the quality of the pasta is outstanding.

The worst mushroom ravioli I’ve ever tasted! The mushrooms were raw, and the ricotta cheese had no seasoning, no pepper, no salt, no garlic, no oregano or basil, nothing! Big disappointment. It didn’t taste Italian to me, and I’m from Boston.
