    Consistent Taste

    Rao’s is a very highly rated tomato sauce on Wirecutter, so I decided to try it. The flavor is decent with a nice hint of basil and garlic. I appreciate that RAO’s is not acidic and does warm well and taste fresh. The sauce is smooth and thick enough to stay on the pasta but my plate was watery as the sauce settled. For families, RAO’s produces larger jar than the usual 26 ounce jars. RAO’s is a very good sauce but costs more than double my usual brand. Compared to other commercial brand names the flavor is better which should be considered based on availability.

    It work in all kinds of pastas and even use it as

    Roa’s sauce is one of my favorite sauce brands. The tomato basil flavor is perfect if you want something of Italian spice. It’s the perfect amount of herbs and has a very nice aromatic sweetness to it. It’s not to acidic and the texture is smooth as well. The after taste tho is a bit garlicky but that’s normal.

    Refreshing and well flavored

    This is one of my go to marinara to buy. It has the perfect balance of seasoning and feeling like you're eating a real tomato. It has small chunks of tomato in it which i really enjoyed. It's very refreshing and flavorful.

    The best sauce ive ever had

    Ever since I’ve tried this sauce I am never going back! It tastes so fresh even though it’s jarred. It’s not very sweet, more on the savory side which I prefer so it’s perfect.

    Elevates any meal

    Rao's tomato basil sauce is a great, basic tomato sauce to add to any pasta, potato, and other carb-filled dish. It is simple, but will elevate any meal. It smells wonderful, has a nice texture (not grainy and is the perfect thickness), and is all around a pleasure to eat.

    One of the tomato basil was leaking. What a pain to mail back the leaking bottle or take it to the store and return it.

    Make your own, this is awful

    Absolute Garbage, I would have been better to throw it in the trash….. Not even close to a real Tomatoe Basil sauce. I tried, because we were at a Airbnb and it wasn’t as equipped for cooking. My parents were born in Southern Italy and I’m used to the real thing!

    Has No Seasoning

    It is understandable that some dishes may lack certain flavor enhancements. Perhaps the absence of seasonings impacts the overall taste and enjoyment. Sometimes, a simple adjustment can significantly improve the dining experience. Ultimately, the ideal culinary experience often involves a balanced combination of flavors. Consequently, it may be beneficial to explore alternative ways to enhance the food.

    So so sauce

    The packaging is neat and tidy. The texture is so so. I couldn’t really tell much of a difference. The ingredients said it was pretty clean when it comes to that, but something made it taste off to me. I’m sure you could use it in a lot of things but I probably won’t.

    Taste like homemade

    This tastes deliciously homemade! Best spaghetti sauce in a jar hands down with the best ingredients! It’s a staple in our household. The spicy arribata is also a favorite.

    Perfect for pasta, pizza, or dipping

    Rao’s never disappoints! This Tomato Basil Sauce tastes like something straight from a fancy Italian restaurant. The flavor is rich, fresh, and not overly sweet like other jarred sauces. The basil adds a nice aromatic touch without overpowering the tomato base. Perfect for quick pasta nights when I don’t have time to cook from scratch. I also love using it as a pizza base or dipping sauce for breadsticks. A little pricey compared to other brands, but 100% worth it for the quality.

    Close to home

    Being Italian, it is very hard to find a tomato sauce I enjoy. I grew up eating homemade sauce often. As a mom of four, this is the best sauce I have come across that tastes most like homemade! It's easy to use and perfectly seasoned.
