DELI MEALS TO GO
North End: It’s easy to become paralyzed by the choices at DePasquale’s Homemade Pasta Shop (66A Cross St., 617-248-9629, www.homemade-pasta.com), where pasta maker Zoya Kogan creates 50 shapes and fillings. Great artisanal cheeses are available to sprinkle on top.
Federal Hill: Some Providence restaurants get their pastas from Costantino’s Venda Ravioli (265 Atwells Ave., 401-421-9105, www.vendaravioli.com), and you can, too. But Venda Ravioli also has cases full of gorgeous prepared foods, like braciola cooked in marinara, stuffed rolled eggplant, and even artichokes filled with crabmeat..
Advantage: Oh, just kill us now. We’ll eat twice.
