RAO's reviews and discussion

Rao's is the go to pasta sauce. It's flavorful, has some chunks of tomato, but some may find it a little oily but you can get it for a great price from Costco in a two pack.

If you’re in need of a weeknight meal, and didn’t spend your Sunday making homemade sauce, this is the go to. The flavor is incredible, the quality outstanding. The only jarred sauce I will use for pasta, chicken Parm, pizza, the works. Rao’s is versatile, has a ton of variety, and keeps great in the pantry for when it’s needed!

One of the more widely available high quality canned pasta sauces! Works for me in a pinch

Never would I ever…fathom I’d become a tomato sauce snob. Because, let’s face it: tomato sauce is a filler ingredient. There, I said it! Unfortunately, Rao changes that narrative. Unfortunately, because, by God as my witness, post-Raos, every other tomato sauce will taste like water, tomato, and sugar.

So good! I always pick this up at Costco. So easy and taste home made. I can add ground meat and veggies for kids and I get no complaints.

Always stocking up on this at Costco for the best price! RAO's is the only store-bought sauce that tastes homemade. I love the vodka sauce in particular, its not too heavy and has a nice acidity to it. It's my go-to for any pasta or red sauce dish. Highly recommend!

tastes homemade

Rao's is a solid go to sauce when I don't have time to make my own. It's low carb, low sugar, and delicious. It's more expensive than some others on the shelf but honestly it's worth it. I always make sure to have a couple of jars in my pantry for last minute quick dinners.

We use Raos all the time. The flavor is strong and tastes delicious.

Have yet to eat anything bad made or sold by Rao's—BIG FAN. Pricey but worth the money. Makes dried pasta taste homemade.

I'm not sure I could survive without Rao's with a 4.5 year old pasta obsessed boy. It's like eating homemade sauce every night without having to slow cook marinara. Love that their ingredients are literally what you'd use in your own kitchen with no additives, fillers, or preservatives.

Our favorite sauce!! Low salt, high flavor, great consistency. Kids love it and adults love it! Bonus it’s available at our Costco so great value. Always my first pick.

Love Rao's pasta sauce - great flavor & simple ingredients without weird fillers

The best store-bought pasta sauce, that actually tastes homemade from your Nonna's kitchen! Super flavorful and goes great with any dish! I love vodka sauce, and this brand is by far the best!

The spicy arrabbiata sauce is so unbelievably good I think it makes every other pasta sauce taste bland.

Honestly, Rao's is becoming one of my favorite brands for easy Italian food. Their sauces are all amazing. I love pan ready meals and their lasagna. Everything tastes really good and even though it's not expensive at all the quality is actually really amazing. I definitely want to try all of their products.

Rao’s is truly the best store-bought marinara out there. Their marinara is perfect for pizza, but the arrabbiata is my favorite for pasta and dipping. Spicy, but not eye watering. The tomato flavor is next level.

Rao's sauces are so delicious! I also love that they are lighter in carbs than other sauces. This is my go-to pasta sauce brand.

Great jarred sauce when you're too tired or short on time to make it from scratch. I use this whenever I go to AirBnbs for easy lasagna for a crowd - I just wish the price was more affordable considering it's almost as expensive as buying a marinara dish from a restaurant.

For a jar sauce this tastes really good. Not sure if it’s worth the increase of price vs it’s competition but I do enjoy the flavors that this sauce puts out.
