red sauce
Being Italian I`ve had great tomato sauces all my life , but the "red sauce" at "red sauce" is inedible. I`ve never tasted a sauce so spicy. It`s like the chef dropped the pepper shaker in it.
You would think that a place that has it for a name would make a decent one. If you go try the other things on the menu but stay away from the "red sauce". |
Not uncommon. I grew up on the east coast and then lived most of my adult life on the west coast. There was a noticeable difference in the sauces between the coasts for me. I assume it was the influence of the southwest as the sauces I encountered on the west coast was far more heavily spiced, almost a Mexican red sauce. Because of this, most pizza didn't taste as I expected. I was used to a tomato sauce that had a tomato flavor, not a hot sauce flavor. Even chains like Pizza Hut altered their sauces for the region in which they are located.
On the other hand, friends from the west coast thought the east coast sauces were bland compared to what they were used to. |
I like it! Most authentic Italian sauce is a bit bland to me! Different strokes!

We like the take out specials
|
The "red sauce" is ok. But, Red Sauce is in my top 3-4 restaurants in TV

If you are referring to the take-outs from their "market" asianthree that is closed!:faint: |
I ate at red sauce one time with friends. I really don't remember much, good or bad about the sauce or the food. It was a pleasant dining experience, but nothing stands out as being great or failing miserably.

We noticed the same exact thing out west. Even the eggs were spicier than the northeast. Locally, our Domino's Pizza chain lost a lot of business when they made their sauce TOO SPICEY for New Englanders tastebuds......they say they've corrected it, but we've never called back. Our Pizza Hut still has a good sauce. To me, being of Italian descent, it SHOULD NOT BE SPICEY. We're talking a marinara sauce here. However, my dad did sprinkle red pepper flakes on various types of food......but no sense in adding it to the pot. I like a lot of garlic, basil, oregano and sometimes even fennel..but not hot pepper in tomato sauce for pasta or whatever........such as veal parm or eggplant parm.......just a tasty sauce. Nor would I care for hot sauce or hot pepper in a meat sauce for pasta or lasagna. Again, perhaps a southwestern acquired taste. |
Great food at Red Sauce
I have to say that being from the Jersey area that good Italian food has been difficult to find. We ate at Red Sauce the other evening. First of all we had great service. Ordered zuppa di clams for an app.....tons of clams and the most delicious red gravy with a touch of cream. Next scallops for me and a steak for my wife. A good sample from the menu which did not disapoint. I must say that we are a bit fussy about good food; not always easy to find in TV but Red Sauce does not disappoint. Quality of food seems to get better each time we go. A most enjoyable evening.

Not the best meal we've had but still good. The sauce is spicy which I dont get. There is an up charge for oil and garlic which i will do next time. Paula was great. She was working a double. Kathy was the bartender outside and sbe was terrific. Will go back.

I like redsauce and they cannot make it too spicy for me. There are dozens of resturaunts in TV and nearby, and there is probably a few that I like and you don't, and vice versa. Otherwise a few would have hour waiting lists and the rest would fail.

Had dinner on the patio to the sounds of Uncle Bob's Rock Shop. Food was good and loved people watching to good music. I think my dish was called "bidi bang" shrimp? It was on toast with a cream spinach sauce and was delicious. Not something I ordinarily would have ordered.

I NEVER order anything with red sauce (gravy) in a restaurant. There are so many variations and none is ever as good as where we come from or home. Red Sauce has other dishes that are very good, the mussels, the garganelli are two. PS........Little Joey's makes the BEST Scungelli in sauce over pasta......:pepper2: |
Red Sauce
Miss the Gnocchi from the men
|
Red Sauce has the best pizza. Eggplant is good, too.

The best mussels, in my opinion, are the mussels at Bonefish. They are always wonderful. Huge portion for $9.90 and they are cooked with white wine, garlic, and tomato. The mussels are very large ones from Canada and are plump and tasty.:icon_hungry: |
Did anyone on this forum grow up with Ragu?
|
No, my mother never invited them over when I was growing up. Heard they were always good to have around when needed.
|
If you never tried Angelo's on Rt 441 out toward Mt. Dora... it's worth the ride.
|
Heard man good comments on Angelo's. Can anyone recommend any particularly good entrees?
|
I will agree with you haven't been back there since
|
I ate at Red Sauce today with 2 dear friends. We had a wonderful time. Service was impeccable and the food was superb!! My friend ordered the Lobster ravioli and gulped it down like he was starving. I was still working on my salad. Gosh! But it was his birthday so we forgave him!! :)
I hadn't been there for about 2 years and was thrilled when they suggested it. I ordered the Wedge salad (YUM), fried calamari (Carraba's is better- but it was still very good) and a pepperoni pizza. The pizza was fantastic!! It was 10" but was $12. Kinda pricey but boy oh boy was it good. Can't wait to go back. Maybe I will order 2 pizzas. :pepper2: |

I know- a lot right? Ate 1/2 the salad and shared the calamari (brought the leftovers home) and brought the pizza home also (minus one slice). 30 yrs ago I could have probably polished it all off but not now.
hehehehe |
From S. Central PA but raised in the Scranton WilkesBarre area. Love the pizza from there and the Red Sauce was cooked for hours to give a rich flavor hard to find in the Villages, I was weened on Grotto Pizza (not as good as it once was) and long for that NY style with sweet sauce. Haven't found a good pasta sauce that makes me want to go back to. I'll eat almost anything (hence my size) but love sitting down with friends over a big bowl of pasta, great sauce, red wine, salad and lots of crusty bread with butter good clean conversation and much laughter, Manga! Once we get settled for good, would love company on a thursday evening for dinner..
