I had the Buitoni lobster and shrimp once and really liked it, but not one of the dozen grocery stores in my area carries it anymore. I am very disappointed!

AD – Sorry to hear about the bad customer service. I am in no way affiliated with them, but would hope you hear something soon. I can understand how having such a poor response would make you unlikely to try their products in the future. That said, I will say I’ve had great experiences with the refrigerated pastas. Even though it makes for more work, I generally pair them with my own sauces because it adds a bit of freshness. But I have also tried, and liked, their refrigerated sauces. But yeah, I hear you. I REALLY wish they would reformulate the sauce on this one.

WOW! I wish I had read the reviews on here BEFORE I purchased this meal. You are dead on with your description about the sauce. It is positively horrid! I do think a simple alfredo sauce would be great, as others have mentioned, but when the meal costs that much already…I don’t think I’ll be trying it again, even with another sauce. Unfortunately, I doubt I’ll be trying any more Buitoni products period. I contacted their customer service, but have not yet gotten a response.

I’ve never had a food alergy in my life and neither has my fiance. We both have broken out in extremely aparant rashes this evening after eating the Buitoni Riserva Shrimp & Lobster Ravioli. I would never recomend this product to anyone. BUYER BEWARE!! If you would like to see pictures of this please email alexandraandjusting@gmail.com

Most sincerely,

Justin & Alex’

I tried this today…and was really looking forward to it. I knew to taste the sauce first…pure garlic. The pasta was good…the filling….not so much. Basically no lobster flavor….just shrimp and tough shrimp at that. Overall…I mananged to get it down, but I doubt that I will fix what is left of it. Don’t waste your $10.

It seems you and many others had the same problem I did. I made the ravioli, put the sauce on and went to take a bite, and was so disappointed because I could only taste garlic. I do love garlic, but I want to be able to taste other things. I rinsed the sauce off about 1/3 of the ravioli and remixed it all together. At that level, it was much more palatable. I’ve been able to make 3 meals out of the pasta, that rarely happens with packaged dinners.

I have purchased numerous pasta’s from Buitoni, including the Angoli Mushroom Ravioli and Chicken and Spinach Tortellini . I found them all to be unbelievably delicious. So I was thrilled to hear of their new Lobster and Shrimp Ravioli. I had about given up trying to find it at my local Grocer’s when I stumbled upon it in the freezer section. I placed the product in my cart, cashed out, and couldn’t wait to get home and cook it. Well needless to say, I cooked it and was completely nauseated by smell that I wouldn’t touch it. My Husband told me to atleast give it a try, so I did. After the first bite, I almost threw up. I immediately spit out the chewed up nastiness into my napkin, but the HORRIBLE taste wouldn’t leave my mouth. I am so disappointed by this product. Especially after my built up anticipation!!! GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to agree. I said just about the same thing to my
husband, that I would have much preferred the shrimp and lobster
ravioli plain and wished I hadn’t even used the sauce. I also agree
with Jenn above that a simple alfredo sauce would have worked
considerably better than the awful garlic butter flavor. The sauce
really ruined the whole thing for me.

Just tried this, after reading these reviews, and agree those that said the sauce was HORRIBLE. I don’t have the most refined palate, and I couldn’t eat more than 3 or 4 of them. I was pushing it to eat that much. I kept hoping that the taste would grow on me. Plus, I was thinking of the $10 I just spent on it. I just wasted $10. I had the canneloni the other day and loved that, but that was pretty basic (no flavor) so not much you could do to mess it up.

I think if you just had a simple alfredo sauce for this ravioli, it would have been really good.

Not getting this again!
