Hi Ganesh.
Tortellini also comes from the Pasta family. Except that, Tortellini is ring shaped with pockets and these pockets are typically stuffed with cheese and different kinds of meat. There is a subtle difference between Tortelloni and Tortellini. The size and stuffing in a Tortelloni is bigger and is also sometimes called so to indicate a vegetarian filling.
