RAO's reviews and discussion

Love raos pasta sauce. Super tasty and no added sugar which is probably the number one ingredient i look to avoid in pasta sauce!!! We love using this brand for our spagetti bolognese, I just wish it was abit cheaper but i usually buy it when its on sale.

I love the fresh and authentic taste of this product. There are simple ingredients without any additives which create a high-quality product that is well worth paying for. This will elevate any pasta dish that you make and is very versatile.

Best red sauce ever! Growing up my mom always bought Prego. My mother in law made every red sauce from scratch. What is a wife to do…. Enter Rao’s. Soooooo delicious. It is a staple item in my pantry, must have 2 jars on reserve at all times!!!

Rao's is a top-quality brand that helps bring the Italian taste home. I have used their pasta sauces for quite a while and love the rich taste. I also enjoy their soups, as they have that authentic Italian-inspired taste. If you were to combine Rao's soup, pasta, and pasta sauce for a meal, it would be an excellent meal from start to finish, which is a great indication of an exquisite brand.

RAO'S sauces have been a staple in my kitchen for years, and I haven’t noticed any drop in quality since the Campbell’s acquisition. The Arrabbiata is my favorite—spicy but balanced—while the classic Marinara and Tomato and Basil are reliable staples for all-purpose use. They are a step above most jarred sauces with their freshness and flavor.

Rao’s makes authentic and high quality Italian products. The products are more expensive, but worth it to me. I really love their sauces, but also their frozen meals and soups. The jarred soups make for easy lunches, and the glass jars can be reused too.

Rao’s is hands-down the best jarred sauce I’ve ever tried. It tastes homemade, rich, flavorful, and not overly sweet like most store-bought sauces. Clean ingredients, full flavor, and perfect texture. I honestly don’t feel the need to make sauce from scratch anymore.

RAO’S soup review. I purchased 2 soups at my local market in February of this year based on prior experiences and trust with this company. On February 11, 2025, I discovered FOREIGN MATTER in the soup while consuming it and contacted RAOS. I called them and they sent me a test kit to return in order to determine what it was I found that did not belong on n the jar. To my astonishment, and despite a follow-up call I made a couple of months later, it took them until August 2025 to write a letter officially informing me that “food technologists” determined that the objects were a “woody” material. How magnanimous of them!!! SIX MONTHS of wondering if I had consumed something I shouldn’t have. RAOS is officially off of my shopping list forever and I will inform everyone I can about this unacceptable DROP IN QUALITY at RAOS. I SIMPLY DO NOT TRUST THEM ANY LONGER!

I love this brand because they make all-natural pasta sauces that I know will deliver on quality and taste in my cooking. Their prices are high, but so is my confidence that their sauces won't disappoint.

My go to sauce, this has been nice to add with chopped Bella mushrooms and spaghetti squash and Parmesan. Healthy ingredients, delicious taste and goes well with various veggies added in. They have the pizza sauce too which is fun, I go with the roasted garlic.

RAO is my new favorite sauce. With a variety of flavors, this high quality, all natural ingredient product will have you questioning your loyalty to previous products. RAO's products pack a delicious flavor and freshness to every bite. Even though with the economy the way it is currently, it is on the expensive side. If you want a high quality product added to enhance your meals, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND RAO's homemade products. You will not be disappointed.

What's not to LOVE!?! RAO's slow-crafted sauces are made from all-natural ingredients and are the absolute best. I can't imagine there being anything better. It's a bit pricey, but love the price at Costco!

My most preferred pasta sauce! Grab them at Costco since they come in a 2-pack. I've recently been pairing them with the Banza chickpea pasta and they taste delicious. Love the flavor, not overly salted, and I like how it's slightly chunky from the real tomatoes.

I don’t usually like my sauce from a jar, I prefer sauce made from fresh tomatoes, so I was pleasantly surprised with Rao’s. Not only is it very convenient it also tastes really good. It also has very “clean” ingredients, no preservatives, which is a plus for me. I find the best pricing for Rao’s at Costco.

This is one of the better store-bought Alfredo sauces I’ve used. It’s creamy, smooth, and has a nice balanced flavor that doesn’t taste overly processed. It heats up well and coats pasta without getting too thick or clumpy. It’s pretty good on its own, but even better if you dress it up with fresh garlic and parmesan. I’ve also added things like mushrooms or grilled chicken over pasta and it works really well with those. Overall, it’s a solid option when you want something easy but still satisfying. Just not a full five stars because the flavor could be a little bolder straight out of the jar.

Rao's pasta sauce has become my ultimate go-to choice whenever I'm grocery shopping. Its incredible flavor transforms ordinary pasta dishes into extraordinary culinary experiences, and I even love using it as a topping for pizza bagels. Whether I'm craving a classic spaghetti or a creative twist, Rao's sauce always delivers a delectable and satisfying meal.

This is one of the only store-bought pasta/pizza sauce brands that I actually enjoy. The taste is authentic and layered, but it also doesn't have a bunch of nonsense ingredients in it. Tastes like it was homemade, but is actually bought.

Best pasta sauce hands down. I like the slightly chunky tomatoes included, and mostly clean ingredients. Great with any type of noodle.

The best pasta sauce ever. You can close your eyes and trust this. It is so flavorful and has made my life so easy. Can whip up a delicious spaghetti in minutes. The taste is just right.

As an Italian-American who makes my own sauce, I never thought a jarred brand could be very authentic and should only be used in a pinch but everyone had so much praise for Rao's that I had to give it a try so I picked up a jar of the marinara sauce and I was pleasantly surprised! What a delicious sauce that really lives up to the hype. It's the closest to homemade sauce that I've ever gotten out of a jar so I definitely have to recommend it.
