My husband and I also ate at Red Sauce tonight. The 2 for 20 is a great deal. Had to bring home food. Our waiter was Jon. He has to be one of the best servers we have had in any restaurant. Sit in his section and you won't be disappointed.

Thumbs up 2 for $12

Well it must be a success - they now do the 2fer every night. We tried it for the first time tonight - lasagna, roasted veggies, including focaccia bread and salad. It was wonderful! I work full time and it is sooo nice to have a restaurant meal at home that you only have to heat and eat. Both my husband and I LOVED IT and will definitely try this again. This is a wonderful idea and I hope you all give it a try!

Default 2 for $12.00 to go

We had the two for $12.00 lasagne tonight too. I was surprised at the portion size. I think a regular dinner size rather than a luncheon that I expected. I could not cook for that price - what a bargain! Tomorrow is chicken marsala with some kind of pasta, sounds good too.

Default Red Sauce experience

Went to market night last night and got caught in the storm.

We decided to eat at Red Sauce......
Food very good.....
Service very good...
Chianti by the glass....almost priceless.....$9 per glass

Since I am accustomed to house wine by the glass being in the $5-6 range, I had a 2nd glass.

When I was paying the bill, I mentioned my surprise at the per glass price to the waitress and she told me she would normally tell a customer the price if a glass of wine was that expensive, but management told them not to!!!!

I am conflicted as to if I'll go back..the food is that good but don't like being taken advantage of. If I go back, I will certainly check the wine list first.

In very expensive NYC a glass of wine is generally $8.00....they have some nerve!

We got nailed for wine at $12/glass in Naples Fl one time. I agree, $9 is ridiculous. Thanks for the heads up!

I agree.... especially when across the street it's "2 for 1" in both places all night.

I paid $11.00 dollars at Lopez for a glass of wine. It wasn't the house wine. It was Kendall-Jackson. I expected to pay a few dollars more, but not that much.

I heard they are from Schenectady (not sure)...I am originally from Utica....been to Red Sauce several times and I like it very much. I really should order something different but they make a great sausage and broccoli rabe and I end up ordering it every time.

Owners are from upstate NY. They did operate restaurants there and both are CIA in New Hyde Park grads. It is a great place.

BTW - went to Urban Flats tonight. Was interested in wine prices based on Tpop's comments on Red Sauce. The Cheapest (!!) Pinot Noir was $9.00 glass. The better one was $14. I asked if there was a house wine - it was a Merlot - $4.00 - and not listed on the menu.

Looking forward to it.

PS - if not for you I wouldn't have thought to ask about the wine.....
