I happened to be on Mass Ave around Porter yesterday, and stumbled across Capone Foods, a fresh pasta etc store, not unlike Dave's Fresh Pasta. They had some different options from Dave's, though, so I bought a container of the Plum Tomato with Porcini sauce to try.

I licked the pot after I was done. Not just the plate... the pot.

So, yeah, consider this a recommendation. They've got lots of pasta (including shaped pastas, as well as flat and ravioli) and sauces, a bunch of frozen entrées that sound good (I obviously can't try the duck and squash lasagna, but I hope someone does!), useful charts and signage that suggest good pasta/sauce pairing, and very friendly and helpful staff. In addition to the Mass Ave location, they have another store in Union Square, where the production is done, so the Mass Ave one only has pre-packaged amounts whereas Union Sq is more flexible.
