Hi, I made the sauce last night but after the hour of cooking that it said in the recipe the sauce was extremely acidic. I cooked it for a lot longer and added about a table spoon of sugar. It got a little better but not quite enough.
Do you have any recommendations?
Thanks!

Amber, the tomatoes make all the difference. That could possibly be the issue.
why make sauce that takes hours when you can have the best sauce come right to your door. i have ben purchasing rao’s sauce for years and it is just simply the best period.
Thanks Brian. You have great taste.

I have a jar of Vodka Sauce. I’m wondering what the expiration date is located. The only markings I can find are on the lid….S 06297 19:04.
Can you tell me if I’m past the “Best use by date”
Thank you for your help.

That jar of vodka sauce was made on October 24, 2006. For best quality we recommend use within 3 years.
i just wanted to tell you how much your marinara sauce taste so much like home made in a jar.
today was the first time i used your brand of sauce and loved it with my sausage and peppers
on the grill. i also like the fact that it had only 4grms of sugar and very low in calories, which is
a plus for my husband who is diabetic. thank you!
Thank you so much. We are glad you enjoyed Rao’s sauce.
Hi, I used to be able to find your Cuore DiPomodoro sauce in lower Manhattan, at Food Emporium and a couple other places. Now I can’t find it anywhere, just Marinara and Vodka I think. I ordered 3 jars from your site, but is there anywhere Downtown I can buy it?
BTW it’s the best sauce I’ve ever had from a jar. I’d rather starve than eat one of the mass market brands now. Thanks and good luck.
I worked for years in a small Sicilian restaurant, and the scratch-made marinara made it impossible for me to buy marinara in the store…until I chanced across Rao’s. My wife and I have been buying a jar a week for years now, and I just won’t have anything else. It is so good that I’ll finish it off with a spoon if the pasta is gone.
Please call us at 1-800-466-3623, so that we can find you the nearest retailer. Thank you.
Thanks Chad. I feel the same way. Yummmm
Does it matter what type of cooking pot you cook sauce in? Some say metallic pans add acidity to the sauce.
I just got done eating Rao’s Marinara Sauce and OMG it is very delicious! This is the first time I had Rao’s and I am going to buy it again. And I can’t wait to make the sauce myself, I am happy that my sister’s friend introduced me to this. I am glad I can find it at my local market in upstate New York.
Rao’s is the only bottled sauce I ever use, it’s without question THE BEST! Thanks, Rao’s!
The salt-pork should be MANDATORY not optional. It just adds so much great flavour. The only thing I add more of is basil and use 10 instead of six an extra garlic close and 1 additional tb. spooon of onion. For a double batch 3 tablespoons of salt is perfect! I used Goya extra-virgin but just ordered Rao’s olive oil.
I have made alot of recpies from your books, as a fellow pizzone………… I must say they are all great… the meat balls are the best…. when are you going to publish you new sauce recpie, sausage mushrooms, ( meal in a jar)…. I could just eat this sauce with bread . it is so yummie..
that was not me that said 3 talb of salt………. that is way to much salt.. can you please remove it
I haven’t had the jarred sauce, because I make this recipe at home. It is easily the best I’ve ever had. I’ve used my grandmother’s recipe for decades, one that she got from a nice Italian lady from the nieghborhood back in the 1940′s, and it was great, but this is better!
I recently bought a jar of Rao’s Marinara sauce. It has been in my cupboard for probably a month. I added it to my homemade meatballs and was pleasantly surprised at how homemade this sauce tastes. However, I cannot remember where I purchased it. I’m in Oakville Ontario Canada. I’ve been back to most of the stores that I frequent but they don’t sell it. Can you give me a hint?
Happy to hear that you enjoyed Rao’s sauce with your homemade meatballs. I hope these hints help!!

I have a marinara sauce jar with a number or N026702. When does this expire?
From one Irish gal to the finest Italians in your restaurant, the Marinara sauce is amazing! I could drink it! Absolutely the best sauce in the entire world! Did I say, ” I love it!”? I love that it makes me feel like I am in the finest Italian restaurant kitchen, enjoying a spoonful of the best marinara ever!!!!!!! Thankyou! *** Sacramento, CA
THANK YOU!!!
I made your marinara and meatballs..What can I say? My mother was a big fan of your restaurant and the sauce (gravy..Iam a real Italian) unfortunately she passed from cancer at the age of 67. Now I can mke the gravy and always think of her while my house smells so so good. Thank You, Thank you for allowing your adoaring fans who love to cook make all of your recipies. Sincerely, Chrissy Cat
Thanks. My wife made it, becuase I’m not a good cook as it turns out, and it turned out great…
Will be making it again.. Or she will
