Thanks for good answers. Locally Acme and Shoprite carry one brand each but they're frequently out of stock. One local pizza shop uses the lasagna sheet trick to make manicotti and they're quite tasty. However, at $15 for 3 small manicottis plus an ever-shrinking salad it becomes an occasional treat.

Thank you @drizzellla  for mentioning your deli. I remembered there's a small Italian grocery about two miles away. I called and they make their own, sold fresh not frozen, with a minimum of six. I always have my own ever-shrinking salad fixings in the fridge.

Seviroli is a good brand for Frozen Stuffed Shells in Sams Club. I used to buy Celentano but they seem to have changed. Less filling then the old days and not because of the pandemic. 

My favorite fresh Ravioli, Shells and such are from a famous NYC based Italian Shop Bruno's. They are fresh, fresh, fresh  and tasty.

There was a shop in Flushing NY back in the day, Pastosa Ravioli. Their products were wonderful. I think there may be other locations around NY, maybe in Brooklyn. Haven't had those in a dogs age! 🤔 

@twinsister  I just saw your post about Pastosa! Now I know some locations! Thanks, such nostalgia for me!

When I moved to Tennessee I had some difficulty finding manicotti.  The Fresh Market carries Parla manicotti which can be purchased without sauce or with sauce.  They also have a number of other Italian entrees which are good. All are in the frozen section.

The Wegmans Italian Classics frozen manicotti are good. I also like Celentano. As a matter of fact, long before Wegmans got into the frozen manicotti act, Celentano used to sell boxes of two manicotti--I'd have them occasionally for lunch at work. They must have discontinued those in favor of just the family-size packages.
