Answer:
Tortellino is several things. It's a famous Italian Restaurant, and it is also:

Device appliable to an apparatus for manufacturing "ravioli" in order to obtain "tortellini" Document Type and Number:United States Patent 5205209

described as an apparatus (4) for manufacturing "ravioli", comprising a device (2) for producing "ravioli" which are formed by the stuffing which comes from a feeding conduit (16) and by a sheet of pastry (10) which contains said stuffing and is fed by a proper guide (30), with the feature that said apparatus (4) for manufacturing "ravioli" is prepared to replace said device (2) with a device (34) to obtain "tortellini" having a shape as if they were hand-made. This device (34) comprises means (A) for forming "tortellini", means (B) for ejecting them and means (6) for blocking the device itself>------------------------------...

Tortellini (plural of tortellina, derived from the Italian for cake) is a ring-shaped pasta similar to ravioli, usually stuffed with meat or, more rarely, cheese. Originally from the Italian region of Emilia, they are usually served in a sauce or soup.

My daughter and I love the spinach and cheese Tortellini!

I know this was a lot of info, but I hope it helped out in explaining the difference.


Enjoy - and have a good day!
Tortellini is plural for tortellino. Tortelloni is a larger version. The word is derived from the Italian word for cake.

EDIT: *ahem* The tortellino (singular of tortellini) is the most famous and distinctively shaped pasta of Emilia Romagna.
