The unboxing was fantastic - I got a personalized note from Francesca, including a preparation suggestion plus a card telling me about the products.

The sauces' boxes are adorable, durable, and well-branded.

I ordered three products and have had two (saving one for another rainy day).

Both were HUGE hits. They were spicy, fresh, and delicious.

I don't usually do a lot of jarred sauces because they typically lack flavor and are full of preservatives and extra sugar.

These are not - everything is from California and has no pastes, concentrates, or added sugar. I can actually pronounce every single ingredient, unlike the jars on the shelves of my local grocery store.

Plus, it's a women-owned company that aims to fight ageism in the workforce.

Finally a natural pasta sauce without added sugars and pastes! True authentic flavors and ingredients that you'll be excited to share. 10/10!

Mama Mia this is the real deal. We keep 3 jars on the shelf at all times…pasta is just the beginning for a quick family dinner   AND it’s the ONLY jarred sauce my Italian American mother will use.  She even trusts Ciao Pappy with her homemade family lasagna when she needs a ‘short cut’ from her grandmother’s sauce!


Incredible flavor in every bite. It’s great when high quality ingredients show through in a food product, makes it worth the purchase. Looking forward to getting creative with this sauce and trying the new flavor. 

Ciao Pappy is simply the best. I have at least two jars of both the Classico and Creamy Calabrian always! These sauces level up everything! I serve with nearly all pasta I make, meat and have made some killer dishes with vegetables! I even serve the sauce at dinner parties not only as the shining star of every dish I make, but also warm the sauces up for people to dip fresh bread in as an appetizer. I couldn’t recommend Ciao Pappy more, and the ultimate cherry on top is that Ciao Pappy donates a percentage of their proceeds to organizations that support aging adults to stay connected, learn technology and remain employable! Simply the best!

Epic. Super tasty sauce with truly fresh and healthy ingredients and no other weird added things. Feel like I can use this for so many different recipes and easily serve an incredible dish without much time spend. High high quality product and worth every penny! LOVE!!! 

I have loved this brand from their beginning. Everything tastes of the highest quality and is absolutely delicious. I eat the sauces on their own, and sometimes use them as a base to bring my home cooking to another level. Cannot wait for more products to be developed ! Obsessed with Ciao Pappy, their family story and of course the taste!

10/10 recommend! I found this sauce on Feed and am totally hooked. The taste is absolutely the best (and I was raised on my italian Gramma’s cook-from-scratch recipes). Fresh and delicious, you can tell it’s made from high quality ingredients. I have this on hand all the time for dipping, pasta or anytime I want a taste of Italy :) 

I shipped all the way to Ohio and the package arrived perfectly & very fast. The sauce flavor and consistency was significantly better than any other grocery store brand. Arguably better than many restaurant sauces. Highly recommend this product!
