Durso’s Pasta & Ravioli Company

I am a loyal customer since I was a child. Everything is fresh and reasonably priced. Awesome Italian deli with parking

I have been going to Durso’s for years and they have the best ravioli around. The ravioli look huge, but when you eat them they are light and delicious. They not only make the standard ricotta filling version, but have everything from spinach to osso bucco filled ravioli and it doesn’t stop there. They have cases filled with pre-​made foods including antipasto items, lasagna, chicken, meats and cheeses. Everything is made with such quality and will not disappoint. There is almost always a linen and the week of any holiday lines can be extreme.
Durso’s is a fantastic place to get the fixings for a wonderful meal.

Like many of my fellow reviewers, I grew up nearby and Durso’s was a fairly regular dinner stop for my family. They had this sausage bread/​Stromboli that was just ridiculously good. Oddly enough, we normally came for their chicken fingers, of all things. They were, like, $ 9/​pound and came with the best honey mustard. Good stuff, but we always spent $ 50+ just walking through the door. Now that I’ve moved back to Queens, I will definitely go by again when I’m in the area.

Great knowledgeable staff. Arrived early to our event. Helped set up. Everyone loved the food. Definitely would recommend Dursos.

My family has been going here to get fresh ravioli and other Italian treats for 50 years. (yes, before it was called «duress’s») You can’t get better. The staff is super friendly. My brother and sister-​in-​law love it so much, they moved across the street! try the ravioli, tiramisu, and whole wheat pasta!

If I could I would live in Durso’s. The second I walk in, I want every item I see sitting in the glass deli case, whether it’s chicken cutlets, rice balls, cheese-​filled pastas, cold salads, etc. I highly recommend this place for great service, awesome quality meats, and a home-​style italian pasta and meat shop feel. Most of the time, I walk in there to get a mammoth-​sized sandwich called the Italian Monster. The name speaks for itself. The kicker on this sandwich is the addition of roasted red peppers and broccoli rabe. This is the first place where i was introduced to those ingredients on an italian type of sandwich, and now wherever I go, it’s just ot as good without those ingredients and the Durso way. At $ 10 for a sandwich good for two with so many different quality meats and cheeses and toppings on it, I definitely don’t consider it expensive. If you’re taking home sides and raw meats and butchered cuts to make meals at home, then your bill might start to look expensive. However, this family-​owned shop is a staple in the neighborhood and is well worth anything you pay for the product and service.

Everyone’s super friendly and their sandwiches/​paninis are SO YUM! Wish they were open more often and longer!

Only had the plain ravioli here but wow. Insane. A bit off the main roads but worth the little detour. Everything is fresh and made in house. Service is great. When we were looking at the frozen ravioli to take home, the person behind the counter asked if we were planning on eating it today. We said yes and she proceeded to hand us a box of freshly made ravioli and told us to take that rather than the frozen box.
Huge variety of stuff here. You’ll definitely find what you’re looking for here. Prices are great too.

The Quick: The ravioli shop every Italian goes to for fantastic handmade pasta in the ‘neighborhood’.
The Details: What else is there to say? Authentic Italian food– meats, cheese, handmade pastas, ready to serve entrees, and fresh made sauces. There are meats hanging from the ceiling, Pisans discussing their family and holiday plans, and an intoxicating smell that makes you feel like you’ve gained 5 lbs.
My family has been going there for ravioli since before I can remember, long before they were featured on Bobby Flay. Absolutely worth the trip to queens.
The Damage: It’s not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Quality, fresh ingredients that you’d want to serve your family.

Best of the best. Variety, quality, service, value. Thats how I can begin to summarize these guys.

It’s probably the best place you never heard of. I say it’s more of a 4.5 but rounded up but because of the great service and the wonderful layout. It’s been open close to 50 years and it really is a Queens, in the know, kinda place. This place only has 67 reviews and out of all of my 330 Unilocal friends, non of them have reviewed it. It’s far, it’s not on the main street and it would probably do you some good if you drove there. I first heard of this place on the show Throwdown! with Bobby Flay a couple years back and they featured their osso bucco ravioli. It’s essentially a lunch take out deli where they have homemade ravioli, homemade pasta, homemade sauces, sandwiches and prepared food by the pound, I was blown away by their sandwiches, like BLOWN AWAY. =) Also, they kinda have weird hours so check before you go. The display looks amazing and don’t be surprised if you want to get a little of everything, it’s normal lol
The food:
The Italian Monster– prosciutto, capicolla, mortadella, provolone, fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers & broccoli rabe. Oh sweet baby Jesus was this awesome!!! This was my fav sandwich, I thought everything worked from the cured meats to the homemade mozz, to the sweet peppers to the broccoli rabe. I don’t normally like broccoli rabe but it makes the sandwich and it’s not crazy bitter. The sandwich is on the large size, so sharing is recommended for the hero.
Linguine with clam sauce– I thought the flavor of this was great. The clams were nice and tender and the pasta picked up the sauce really well, there was also a hint of red pepper flakes for a little baby kick. The pasta was on the overcooked side but the flavors made up for it.
Muffaleta– Prosciutto, mortadella, Genoa salami, fresh mozzarella & olive bruschetta. I thought this was fantastic as well but my only criticism was the olive bruschetta, which made the sandwich overly salty. Overall it’s a great sandwich especially if you like your food a tad on the salty side, I myself, like my food not as salty. The saltiness does die down the more you eat it.
Arancini– or rice ball are little balls of arborio rice stuffed with homemade mozz. I thought these were great, ooey gooey cheese with seasoned arborio rice equals yum yum.
Stuffed artichoke– I enjoyed the flavors of the artichoke and the stuffing, but they cut out the hearts and that kinda takes away the essence of the dish.
Roast Beef & Horseradish– Roast beef, provolone, red onions, tomato, mesclun leaves & horseradish spread. I think if I started with this sandwich I would have been happier with it. The sandwich is good but it falls short next to the previous mentioned sandwiches. The flavors were nice but the roast beef was a little muted in flavor and I wish there was a kick from the horseradish, I didn’t notice much of a horseradish flavor and I think an assertive kick would have been great.
Veal osso bucco Ravioli– These are homemade and I had high expectations for them, but I thought they were just good, but not great. I thought the flavors were good but it was too much dough. After a few bites, all I noticed was the dough. We also got the osso bucco sauce which was wonderful.
Lobster Ravioli– We paired these with the garlic butter and these were doughy for me as well. The flavor of the lobster wasn’t that pronounced and the garlic butter didn’t have that pop of flavor I was expecting. I thought the garlic butter was going to add a depth of flavor that would pair well with the lobster but I felt it missed the mark.
Chicken Francese– this dish was ok, the chicken was tender but the sauce was a tad lackluster.
Tirimisu– I thought this was ok, I thought the lady fingers were semi dry, the flavors were ok.

Their food is delicious and their sauces are amazing. The employees are the most kindest and most helpful people you can find
.

their food is home made & fresh & delicious! One of my favorite places to take out. Their fresh past & sauces are truly the best I’ve tasted in our area — I’m not the biggest Ravioli fan — and there’s is mouth watering!!!

Excellent home made pasta. The whole wheat pasta is light and tasty. The ravioli is delicious and so many to choose from, spinich and sundried tomatoe are among my favorites but dont stop there. Its a charming classic Italian food specialty store that has been around for years and has been consistently great.

Quality food and great service! Everything is fresh and the selection of Italian foods is amazing.
The food is almost as good as a home cooked Italian meal but without the hassle. You must try the Eggplant Parmesan and the Grilled Chicken and Broccoli rabe Hero. I also recommend the Vegetable Lasagna.

I was very privileged to grow up walking distance from Durso’s. My mother would often have me pick up dinner on my way walking home from middle school.
The place is always packed! Great and fast service. Gotta try there in house made ravioli… you can buy it both fresh and frozen, allowing you to make it later on in the week. Fresh Fresh Fresh.
Not the kinda place you go to for your everyday goods… the generic none specaility items are overpriced.

This place is AWESOME. Can’t believe how clean this deli is — you can eat off the floor at this place — never experienced a deli like that. Food was awesome and great service too! Their pulled pork is unreal! — BBQ joints should take notes.
Ravioli’s are really good — Veal Osso Bucco was phenomenal.

I get giddy by just driving by this place, so imagine how I feel when I get to go in and buy things!
I truly love Durso’s. I have been coming here since I was a kid. Family owned and operated, this place pumps out some of the best Ravioli in New York! With a plethora of different styles of ravioli to choose from: cheese, spinach, butternut squash, lobster, veal osso bucco, this list goes on and on! Then there’s the selection of fresh pastas. All shapes and sizes and flavors. Semolina, wheat, spinach, tri-​color. Homemade Stromboli, sausage bread, spinach bread, broccoli bread. Their prepared broccoli rabe is ethereal! I gain weight just thinking about this place. It is a miracle if I walk out of this place spending less than $ 100.
And in case you cant make it to them, they come to you! That’s right, they deliver! And Cater! If I lived closer to Durso’s I would be both poor and morbidly obese.
If you are ever in the area, near the area, or just looking for some of the best homemade ravioli, pasta, and sauces that can be found, drop into Durso’s. You will not be disappointed.

Came here for the Italian Bomb after my wife found it on Unilocal.Definitely not disappointed, flavors were perfectly balanced and sandwich held together without anything dripping on my hands. Bread was a little much so next time I might ask them to hollow it out but it was fresh and tasty. Antipasto was also good with large chunks of salami and cheese. I now finally have a place to get a real Italian sandwich in eastern Queens now.

This is a place where you can get some food to eat right then and there or pre-​made stuff to enjoy later. You can get some stuff to use to make a meal and stuff to stock your cupboard. They do a great catering business as well. Here is the catch. Much of the stuff is expensive. I like their fresh spinach pasta and their fresh pasta in general.
