Would especially be interested in Italian delis that offer fresh pasta, gnocchi, or cavatelli. Thanks in advance.

I would also include Bartolomeo and Jerry's, both in Englewood in the same camp. There's a place in Waldwick called Itallian Riviera that gets love on this board, but I have not been to the location. Here's a list of very good to great delis in addtion to the ones mentioned above, IMHO: Italian: Valente, Fairview Visentini Bros., Lodi Mela, Garfield Latona, Garfield Clememte, South Hackensack Piccolo Gastronomia Italiana, Ridgefield Polish: Piast, Garfield Golden Eagle, Garfield Super Deli, Wallington German: Kochers, Ridgefield Jewish: Foster Village Delicatessen Sol 'n' Sol, Englewood Kosher Nosh, Glen Rock Harold's II Kosher Superrette, Paramus Hero: Denaro's Dumont General: Picnic Caterers, Emerson Cafasso's Fairway Market, Fort Lee There's a couple of places in Closter that some have mentioned on this site. One I believe is Isabella's, the other, the name escapes me at the moment. There's two in Northvale/Norwood, but I was not impressed with either. These will get you started for now. If I can think of others or remember the names of the ones I missed, I'll report back.

Wilkes on Glen Ave in Ridgewood (NOT affiliated with other Wilkes) has the best German Potato salad I've found recently. Soups, well, that's daunting...
