RAO's reviews and discussion

Truely the best prepared sauces in the market! They have a fresh taste that seems like homemade!

The flavor is fresh.

This is one of our favorite jarred sauces thanks to its deep and complex flavor. Unfortunately, the sauce is on the more expensive side, so we can only buy it when it's on sale.

It's great tasting marinara I just wish the price was a smidge more affordable but you do get what you pay for.

We often turn to Rao's jarred sauce for a quick weeknight meal. We prefer to make our own homemade sauce but when we need a jarred one, Rao's is always top of mind! The vodka sauce is delicious and provides a 'fancier' option for a simple pasta dish! Glad we have found a delicious and simple ingredients pre-made sauce that I feel confident feeding my family with.

So consistently yummy, just not worth the price point for me. But you better believe I'm sneaking a jar out of my parents' cupboard when I visit next.

Love their vodka sauce - always have some on hand to whip up a quick and delicious meal at home whether that be pasta or a baked rice dish or a shortcut to a chili!

Rao's is great for a widely available product, but for me to give a 5 star, it would have to surpass the local sauces near me. I currently live in an area with a strong Italian food culture. The tomato and "muttz" that I can get around me is stellar. There are times Rao's is more expensive than local, which causes me to not choose it too often. Otherwise, if local stores are completely out of my way and I want to cook for others, I would buy Rao's ( however, cooking for myself, I would opt for a more inexpensive brand and punch it up with a San Marzano paste/concentrate to cook in bulk).

I rather have ragu spaghetti meat sauce through but I like the taste of the RAO through

I have bought their pasta and sauce and I can't understand their pricing or why people are raving about this brand. The pasta was sticky and bland. My dog loved it. The sauce is nothing to rave about but the price is just crazy!

I love Rao as my base sauce and then I add browned Italian sausage and some stewed tomatoes and it tastes like a homemade sauce I would have spent hours on. I've recently started using zucchini spirals as my base and it's fantastic. One of our go to meals in the winter.

I've tried these sauces and they really were delicious! I am usually picky, but these did not dissapoint.

Fresh, delicious taste like tomatoes and basil yum!

We have always liked the taste, texture & flavor of everything Rao's makes.

Compared to all the other marinara sauces out there, RAO's is definitely the best one on the market especially for a quick dinner. I would say it is on the pricier side, but it's findable at any grocery store! It's better than all the Trader Joe's marinara sauce for sure.

I’ve seen a lot of positive reviews and comments about Rao’s pasta sauces. I decided I needed to try it for myself. The price was very much in line with other bottled pasta sauces. I decided to use Rao’s marina sauce for baked ziti, one of my family’s favorites. I didn’t say anything about using a different pasta sauce. At the end of the meal I asked them what they thought about the pasta. After the uniformly said it was okay and assumed me why I was asking. I told them I’d used a different pasta sauce. Their comments were very similar: “it was fine”, “nothing special “, tasted okay”. I had to agree. In the end I was a bit disappointed, particularly after seeing so many really favorable reviews. I didn’t find it to be different than other bottled pasta sauce.

I absolutely love raos. The flavors is absolutely amazing .

My stepdaughter turned me on to this brand. So many varieties…we have tried many of them. I won’t even think of buying another brand…this is as good as homemade sauce! Seriously!

Maybe I need to blame it on my Mom, growing up her sauce was packed with flavor and simmering on the stove for who knkws how long. But, there were just not enough seasonings for my liking. I don't mind doctoring up a sauce but with all the rave reviews from people, I expected more.

I love Rao's sauces! This is what I usually purchase when I'm making any kind of pasta. I like to use their vodka sauce or the 4 cheese. I don't think I have tried the alfredo, but I will very soon. I know it will be delicious as well. I highly recommend this brand of sauces!
