Anybody here ever try it?  What did you think?  I was at Publix today speaking with the lady who was stocking it and she said it's very popular (she never tried it herself thought).

I've used the Rao's vodka sauce & liked it a lot.

@ScrapHappy Yes, I buy the marinara. Better than my homemade.

I’ve also used the marinara sauce.  I originally got it because there was no added sugar. It is good.

This is the same reason I originally bought it.  It's the only store bought one I'll use now, it is very good.  All the different versions are very tasty.  It's a little pricey depending on where you buy it so I always buy a few if I find it on sale.

@ScrapHappy I used it at Christmas as a base for my mussels red at 7 fishes. No one was the wiser that I didn't make it from scratch. I did add wine and garlic before I added the mussels. However, there is a brand offered by Costco which is equally as good and not quite expensive. I can't remember the brand, but there is an antique photo of a woman on the label. I think Rao's charges more because of the restaurant it comes from. No one can get a reservation there, so they can buy the sauce.

I wasn't impressed with Rao sauce at all, and won't buy it again. But, we all have different taste buds, so you almost have to try it yourself and see if you like it. I prefer some of our local Italian sauces sold here in St. Louis and also Prego!

I had Rao's tonight.  Used the Tomato Basil when making baked ziti and it was good.  I have been buying Rao's for years, even though it is a little pricey.

very good on its own and also makes a good "base" for your own tweaking.

Love their marinara sauce, like homemade.
