The Sauce Lady Inc

Well get ready for this one. I am still at a loss of words for my experience here. I will just tell you what happened when I first walked in from Joe’s Diner next door. So I wanted to see what this place was all about and I came in walked around and «The Sauce Lady» asked me what I was looking for. I said «Do you make subs like it says on your door» and she replied «No! Joes Diner is stealing my business!» Uh OK, sorry. Then I made the second mistake of asking her about how this place is like that other Italian place over on Pine Ridge in the Bed Bath Beyond Plaza. Wow what a mistake that was to mention that place. She flipped her lid and told me to never mention that name to her again. She then told me to make myself useful and help an old lady customer with her bags to go to her car. So I did because that’s what good people do. I went back inside and she asked what I wanted. I said I dunno might as well try some Meatballs and Sauce. She tells me I’m going to love them. Well I went home and they were alright. I can’t really compare them to much, but they made me gassy. I don’t know if that is normal or not. Bottom line is she is lucky I’m from New England and can handle her bitchy attitude, but if she keeps it up with other customers I don’t see her lasting long.
TL;DR Saucy Attitude from Sauce Lady turned me off.

The meals we had tonight, picked up this morning, were not very good. I don’t think the other reviewers have ever had good Italian food. The eggplant parmesan was not seasoned and the eggplant oily from not being fried in hot enough oil. There were only 2 stuffed shells and some greasy sausage sauce and some small meatballs in that entrée. Very disappointing.

Amazing! I’ve been a customer for years. I like to fill my freezer with all of her great meals, sauces, soups, desserts and much more. The real deal! They will also cater and make custom orders (w/​advanced notice). When I went today, she was working on a huge Tiramisu order. I have a dinner in the oven right now! Yummmmm!!!

The sauce eliminates the need to travel to an excellent Italian restaurant. Many times I’ve worked all afternoon to make fresh sauce that can’t come close to The Sauce Lady. Pick the pasta of your choice, and add either bolognese (beef or sausage) or mix them if you like, and you have a wonderful pasta experience.

On vacation, I do not want to eat out every night, but certainly do not plan to slave over a hot stove for hours on end. And I hate ‘carry out’!
The Sauce Lady is a perfect answer — I swing by, pick up some sauce, soup, perhaps Ravioli or a Tiramisu — slide it into a pan or pot — and serve a chef prepared Italian feast at home. No crowds, no rush, and little to no clean up!
All the sauces are amazing. We love the meat ravioli. The Tiramisu is perfect. She makes yummy Panini’s that can be eaten onsite at lunch — or carried away for dinner.
Do you remember what it was like being a kid in an ice cream store or candy shop? And how hard the decisions were? The Sauce Lady is just like that for grown ups — every choice looks better than the last, and if you aren’t careful you will walk out with food for 20 when there are only 2 of you!
She is starting (what I call) Southern Specialty Saturday’s — BBQ ribs, Chicken, Southern Biscuits and Pulled Pork. We plan to try it this weekend!

Great frozen and refrigerated stews, soups, sauces, pot roasts or cannoli. If you’re buying for a party, order ahead.
I use the sauces as a base for mostly home cooked meals. The owner, The Sauce Lady, is very helpful. I strongly recommend this as a foundation for every day and party meals.

The meatballs were very good! The marinara sauce was great with it. You should definitely stop in and she will give you a full rundown of all of her sauces and meals. I’m sure they’re all good and her excitement about her food will certainly get you excited about your upcoming meal.

We had to seek out the commissary in the industrial part of Naples after the Sauce Lady ladelled some chicken noodle soup for take-​out and delivery by a well-​wisher to her sick friend. So good.
The Sauce Lady is actually a second generation Italian cook in a family who have had restaurants and now a well-​reputed presence at local Farmers Markets. Her retail outlet on J&C provides fresh and frozen Italian sauces, soups, and entrees beginning at about $ 8 per pound. Staff also frequent the Bonita Springs Promenade during Saturday morning markets. Delicious fare, if not a bit pricey.
