Nicola's Marketplace at Madeline's
Nicola's Marketplace is an online Italian specialty food shop founded by Chef Nicola, who trained at the Italian Culinary Academy in Parma and started his pasta business, Nicola's Pasta Fresca, in New Jersey in 2012. He launched the marketplace in 2021 to ship his handcrafted pasta, ravioli, and Italian pantry items nationwide from Newark, New Jersey. The recipes trace back to the traditional Italian cooking he learned from his grandmother.
The heart of the shop is fresh, handcrafted ravioli, made with imported Italian semolina flour, local free-range eggs, farm-fresh vegetables, and pasture-raised meats. The lineup runs from classic cheese ravioli to heartier fillings like beef short rib, and seasonal vegetable ravioli such as butternut squash and roasted corn. Fresh cut pastas and a softer-style biscotti round out the range.
Because the pasta is fresh and handcrafted, the available selection shifts with what is in season and in stock. The items below are the ones currently live and in stock at Madeline's; the full Nicola's range is larger and rotates over time.
