Jim Vinciguerra and his daughter Teresa making ravioli the old fashion way at Vinciguerra Ravioli Co., in Jackson, California. Jim Vinciguerra never got over his grandmother Teresa's ravioli, "the best I've ever tasted." So after a 32 years with the Department of Corrections, he decided to start his own little ravioli company in his hometown of Jackson. He searched high and low for a ravioli press, finally locating one in storage that belonged to a retired Italian deli owner in Stockton. Vinceguerra made him an offer he couldn't refuse and in November 1999 launched Vinciguerra Ravioli Co., where he churns out five kinds of sauce and an equal number of ravioli - 54 to a box - attracting customers from Nevada to San Francisco and beyond. "We've done over 7 million ravioli since 1998," said Vinceguerra, who's in the middle of his busiest season - around Christmas and New Year's, with Easter down the road.

I'm Italian and I'm AMAZED by this traditional method. Bravissimo Jim! Bravissima Teresa!
I'm amazed at the people who condemn and say he's not doing it right considering he's put out 7 million of them since 1998 . I imagine the people condemning has made few or none. I love this video Jim, keep on making ravioli's!!!

I love your method of making ravioli. Thank you for sharing.
Good job. SIR ,FANTASTIC JOB. WISH I HAVE SOME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
That was great, thanks for sharing!
Amazing! Just got a ravioli machine and noodle maker from the hubs for Christmas. I've always done both by hand. Sister is here for the holidays...and today's the day to make ravioli for New Years....wish us luck! You make it look so easy!!!
Man I would love to try some of these. Nice video, thanks for this excellent presentation.
Looks great! You da man Vince.
Now THAT`S awsome and inspirational!
Felicitaciones. Gracias por compartir su arte y labor 👏🙏🏻. Bendiciones
That is very nice video, thank you!
This is great!wow👏👏👏
Majstor. Svaka cast. 👍
Bravisimo caro , thanks from Argentina!!
Fantastic, congratulations!
this was awesome.
I just happened to go there last Thursday. For years I had driven past what seemed to be an Italian restaurant that was extremely clean and organized. I found it strange that there was never any cars in the lot. Could it be a front for the mob? The mob in Jackson?!? I stopped in and while walking around the back saw posters and photographs of the Sopranos on the walls. As usual I could see no one in the joint. Jim caught me trying to open the front door. He waved me around to the drive thru window. You here for some ravoli? I said are you a restaurant? It took a couple seconds of explaining for me to get the idea. His menu is a single sheet of paper. Just ravoli and sauces. No web address. Just a phone number. I was going to be on the road all day so I couldn't buy anything that might thaw in the car. I'll be going back there soon tho. Thanks for the article Sac Bee.
Интересно, спасибо за видео!
congratulazione Signore Vinciguerra !!!
Me encanta como lo haces un abrazo grande desde Argentina 🎉
Perfect, congrats
Respect !
This is a great video.

Good to know about making the pasta dough ahead of time I made some fresh pasta two days ago and I'll use it tomorrow night and make some spinach shrimp truffle ravioli
this is great
Bravo máster!
this makes me happy 😄
The roller machine is called a "Dough Breaker" or Dough Break" Every Italian bakery in Brooklyn had one to make Cannoli & Sfogliatelle. Hard to find one today. A dough sheeter can also be used but they are not as strong. Great vid amazing talent. Bravo!
Looks very good. I'm very interested by this mechanic ravioli machine. Anyone know where can i get one on those ravioli machine? Thank you :)
hi! where do you get the boxes for the ravioli? thank you!
Ellerinize emeğinize sağlık,her seferinde hayranlikla izliyorum
what is the brand name of your vintage raviol machine ? have you looked at modern day industrial ravioli machines and if so, which models do you think are the best, I live in miami , I have been making raviol for my family and friends for more than 20 years, I have sold to a few local restaurants in the past. I have been kicking the idea around of trying to make money with it and do it. I love the way your machine works, it looks classic, I only roll out pieces of dough that 3' x 3' and I hand cut them much larger than your machine, 5 or 6 raviol would be enough for one meal for an adult. any feedback you have would be greatly appreciated, thanks, rob
Jim, Thanks for your old school teatro. I just removed a ravioli line from Brooklyn, NY. Faster and quicker but certainly not hand made with charm and finess' . Gracie Pisano! Jersey Jim
where can i get one on those ravioli machine?
Where can I find this kind of ravioli press machine? And it has some name?
Wow that machine is simple and effective
I need in my home this mashine 😄
Using a plastering trowel to even out the layer, v amusing to see a construction tool used in this way. The big machinery is fantastic.
very nice
Che meraviglia la macchina e l'operatore con le sue spiegazioni in americano. Bisogna essere dei muratori provetti per adoperare la cazzuola e la spatola con maestria per fare i ravioli piuttosto che dei pastai.
The Brand or model of the raviolies machine ???
Gostaria de saber sobre esse recheio....como fazer???poderia responder???Agradeço....Belos Ravioli.....abraços
cool!
Wt filling is the best?
Wow.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✌️
ravioli ravioli whats in the pocketoli **slurp** *O H ~*
It's just a prank, bro.
John Kugelfischer who are you
Wow...
Who else is eating ravioli while watching this
yes. yes i am adding this to my haikyuu playlist, dont ask questions
Ravioli Ravioli Give Me the Formuoli
I see what you did there. 😏
Ravioli ravioli what's in the pocket oli
If you spread the filling over the entire bottom how do the edges of each ravioli seal?
The filling is principally squeezed into the cavity by the die and pressure of the rollers. What little remains helps glue the seal.
exactly....who ever made ravioli knows that this is just pure money grab....
I love ravioles!
Mmm very nice
Impressionnant 👍👍
That machine doesn’t make raviolis... it makes money.
BRAVO JOHNNY!!! I can not believe that Italians did not sue him for this blasphemy calling this cash grab machine dough, where by colour you ask if there is ANY egg in the dough....it is soo rubbery
Ok, you have made enough for my lunch, what is for supper ?
'this is all hand done' whilst the giant ravioli machine cranks out hundreds of ravioli
Guy uses a ravioli roller Critic: that's not "hand made" Guy uses wood stick to roll dough Critic: not "hand made" Miller grinds grain Critic: that's not "hand made" Farmer plows field Critic: that's not "hand made"
Люблю олдскульные технологии... А, равиолли не разлепляются при варке? Ведь там между листами теста находится начинка...
super
32 years with the Dept of Corrections... you must have taught them a trade skill in brick laying
0:53 Watch those fingers near the dough press or you'll be singing 'finger catch-a-tolee'.
Go get a job.
I'm fully torqued.
Tradução em brasileiro por favor
What do you call a fake noodle?an Impasta;)
I'm gonna shoot myself now
Kill me
i would not want to have to clean that place up after a long day
And one adult italian
I dont know why but my brain saw Dr T in that man's face anybody else?
How in the hell did I get here
Non male per provenire dalla California, uno si potrebbe aspettare chissà quale pasticcio, invece non male davvero.
Can I put the ravioli in my pocketoli
Ravioli Ravioli what's in the pocketoli
I hope that covid hasn't hit them too hard
Minkia n1 stamattina preparo ravioli.
I could eat them all
Still commercial just old equipment
Questi sono ravioli americani...da noi nemmeno le industrie li fanno così
2:34 I mean.... your hands are cranking the handle, but it's identical to that "mechanized" method other than that.
It’s not mechanized in that the dough sheets are spread out by hand and the filling is applied by hand. Factories have machines doing those things. You critics are a bunch of nitpickers.
hand done. then he uses a machine.
Christ to all these comments lol, this is as close as you're going to get to hand made for the quantity they turn out. Here's a hint, if you make "hand made" Ravioli, and use so much as a knife to cut them, you're not technically making them by hand either.
He is using a machine right in front of you and tells you in your face that "it's hand made" 😂 Love the video though...
If you use a small pasta machine to make your pasta sheets for your ravioli, isn't that hand made? I see this is kind of the same, just a little larger scale

I have a mini version of that ravioli maker - kzhead.info/sun/ia-yitR9poWgYHA/bejne.html And I hate it!
Very cool! But that is still mechanized... It's not 'hand done' because you are cranking a wheel... LOL
Un insulto all'arte della pasta fresca italiana.In Italia quel tipo di macchinari in una qualsiasi azienda sarebbero a dir poco da arresto .Assenza di qualsiasi sistema di sicurezza ne rispetto di alcuna normativa igienico sanitario .Neanche negli anni 20 in Italia si lavorava in quelle condizioni ,davvero impressionante che in un paese che si reputa l'avanguardia dell'umanità quasi in ogni settore permetta ad aziende di lavorare così .
I love how the process is 95% machine made ravioli, but oh an actual human turns a crank so it's "hand made" hahahahah.
exactly !And he blaims others for mechanizing the process lol
Looks like Teresa eats too much of ravioli! :)
🍽🍷🤔🐷
DA ARRESTARLO...
dont talk over food cmon
The pasta dough is way too thick for it to be a good quality, traditional ravioli. It should be wafer thin, to the point you can almost see through it. Then once you fold it over (or put the top layer on, in this case where they're machining a huge batch), the pasta will be the perfect overall thickness
CarloT99 Yup. I agree. I make fresh ravioli all the time. I actually bought a pasta machine just to make fresh ravioli. But I only use it to roll out the dough to the perfect thickness. I usually roll out the dough from the machine until it's almost paper thin. That way when you form the ravioli with the top and bottom parts of the dough, it's the perfect thickness.
Di italiano non c'e' nulla ne gusto ne arte.solo business.
That lack of hygiene has that gentleman, does not cover his mouth, nor covers his arms, does not cover his head, does not wear gloves, etc. Spits the food when speaking, hair falling and beautiful in food, snot drops in food, etc.
C'est la vraie vie - et un vrai artisan.
Andy Torrealba curious do you eat anyone's food besides you're own? Because you're gonna get others DNA. Iirc you don't need gloves or hair net depending on certain criteria.
But he wears sunglasses.
and !! i love this ravioli
You must be european.
Is NOT handmade!!! You use maskine(!)
:)) have you ever been in a kitchen?? Even my grandma used that much machinery by making pasta.
Dough spread by hand, filling spread on dough by hand, dough placed on top of filling by hand.
No hairnets no gloves, ewe
exactly what i was thinking. not even for the video.
Ewwh you can tell he is not European Maltese and Italians really don't cook Ravioli like this and it look horrible
Too expensive imo
LOL. That isn't hand made either. You are using machines too. Hand powered machines, that's all the difference there is.
He spread the dough by hand. Applied the filling by hand. Applied the top layer of dough by hand. Go be stupid somewhere else.
Lol hand made because you turned the crank and turned on the machines? But adding electricity to those rollers would pervert the integrity? Get fucked.
Dough spread by hand, filling spread on dough by hand. Hand cranks the ravioli cutter. Go be stupid somewhere else.
the filling looks ugly. i wouldnt want to eat that.
Sorry but isn’t Italian ravioli!!!
This ravioli looks terrible. Dough too thick, and under stuffed.
Well, phuck you very much and thanks for dropping by.
