“I just wanted to let you know I have tried your marinara sauce and it is fantastic.. I make my own sauce and for quickie meals sometimes grab a jar at the store, I do not use any sweetener in my sauce and most of the others do. I check the labels and even the ones with out sweetener have an off taste. After trying yours a few weeks ago (I bought it at the Giant)I will never be without two jars of it in my cupboard for anytime of the week or for guests, it is that good. Thank you and I can’t wait to try other products of yours.

Sincerely”

Jim Buscemi - Maynard, MA:

“Hi, I am 53 years old. My dad was born in Aragona, Sicily, my mother's family is from Messina, Sicily. I have been eating Italian food all of my life and I must say that your Marinara Sauce is the BEST I've ever had. I wasn't expecting this sauce to be anything special when my wife mentioned that she picked some up at the market, but boy, was I wrong! Now I'm spoiled for any other sauce.

Thanks Paul!”

Robert Hroch - Holbrook, NY:

“I love the marinara....I laughed when I saw the garlic was in slices ... lol great job“

Janice T:

“Wow--what a product---I sampled the Paul Sorvino sauces and we just enjoyed it so much...
I have never used bottle sauces--I always made my own...coming from an Italian family..we are very critical about store sauces......since I have tried Paul Sorvino sauces...it has completely changed my attitude towards store bought sauces. Paul Sorvino stands head and shoulders above any other....(we are partial to the vodka sauce).
I am sure this product will be successful....”

Myra Garvansites - Belford, NJ:

“Hi, My name is Myra & have been eating Italian sauces & food all my life. So when I saw your product in A&P this past weekend, I figured I'll try it. Even though I am not Italian, I do have Italian in-laws that can make sauces comparable to restaurant quality. (The ones in Little Italy, NYC of course). So when I got home, I could not wait to open & try a couple of spoonfuls. Well Mr. Sorvino you have a winner. Ingredients are not overpowering and everything simply blends. I hope you don't get insulted, but I put a spoonful on my pets food to make him eat, and he wanted more (he's 14 yrs old & a very fussy, spoiled eater). I will try your vodka sauce next.
Yours truly”

Mary Anne D:

“I picked up your sauce at Shop Rite in Milford, CT. The main reason that I chose it was because I have to watch the sodium content of prepared foods as my husband has to be very careful of his intake. When I have done this in the past with other sauces, they were only fair. But now your sauce is #1 on our list. Not only is it reasonably low in sodium compared to most others (260 vs 600), but it was great tasting. So glad you are making this, please keep it coming.”

Alexis Magazino - Harrisburg, PA:

“I had no idea Mr. Sorvino made sauce, so when I crossed it in my local Giant Foods Grocery Store, I decided to try it. (And the decision, though not based in logic, was merely based on the fact that I love Paul Sorvino as an actor - I think of him as the Italian Daddy of the acting world, which endears him, or his image, to me.) Though I certainly prefer my family's marinara recipe, sometimes you just don't have the time or the energy to go to that effort. I have tried a lot of jarred sauces, and even when you find one you like, you never really like it. It's like choosing the least of the evils. And trust me, I have tried every sauce out there. That's why I'm writing this email. This is absolutely the best jarred sauce I have ever had. It's fresh and simple, exactly what a marinara sauce should be. It tastes just like the sauce my family makes - an almost exact copy - only it's available on short notice. Thanks for making a product that actually lives up to its name.”

Tim E:

“Hello-- I just wanted to drop your company a line, and let you know what I thought about the new Paul Sorvino Marinara Sauce. I purchased it recently for a Christmas party buffet, where I prepared it in crock pots with fresh made meatballs, and chopped garlic. It went over great, and at least a dozen people said it was the best sauce they have ever had-- including a friends mother, who came here from Sicily in the 1970's. I was beyond impressed, and will only buy Paul's sauce from here on in. Great job, great package, and extraordinary flavor. Thanks for a great sauce that I can truly enjoy and be proud to serve my family and friends-- it saves me the time of making it myself. Best wishes, and Merry Christmas.
PS-- the website lists Price Chopper supermarkets as a distributor of the sauce, but I couldn’t find it in either the Webster, MA or Worcester MA store. I was able to find it at Shaw's in Webster MA - on the top shelf where it belongs!!”

Sarah Fitzwater - South Riding, VA:

“Love love love the marinara sauce. I’m making meatballs and your marinara sauce tonight for dinner (and company will be here to enjoy it too). My husband always gives me a hard time about the $6 price per bottle but I reply that it’s worth it because it tastes authentic and there are no artificial ingredients.
Keep it coming and how about getting it into Whole Foods? Do you have any recipes? Would be a good additional to your website.
Sincerely,”

David Nickerson - Hull, MA:

"Paul,
Had to write and say this is the best Marinara in a jar I've ever had. I also enjoy your acting."

Giovanni and Rose Forte - Congers, NY:

“We must say that your product Paul Sorvino Marinara Sauce is the best. Tastes just like homemade and we love it. This is the best jarred sauce that we ever had and we will keep on purchasing it. Just thought you would like to know. My husband is of Neapolitan heritage and the sauce is very authentic. Thank you.”

John U.:

"As an Italian American whose grand parents were born in Italy, I have to say that we would never, ever eat a jarred tomato sauce. Most jarred sauces are to thick, over spiced, sugary, and raw tasting. I even through a jar out of the window once when my wife brought some home. When I saw Paul Sorvino's face on a jar in the supermarket I gave it a shot. I have to say that the freshness and flavor of this Marinara sauce blew me away!!! I think its better than my sauce, and I make a pretty good one. Thanks Paul for finally coming up with a traditional quality product. I don't usually write letters but I felt compelled to write this one. By the way I'm a huge fan."

Keri M.:

"I recently purchased your Marinara sauce, I was a little nervous, only because I usually don’t have much luck in the canned/jarred tomato sauce department and currently I am on food stamps, to supplement my income, so again, you see my nervousness.
Well, all I have to say, is I am addicted!! I have NEVER had a store bought sauce that tasted so homemade! I love it and it is worth every last drop in the jar. I love the slices of garlic… YUMMMMMMMM."

James Hartman, - Hackensack, NJ:

"I never buy sauce in a can or a jar. I always make my own. but I saw an article a week ago in the NY daily news about your sauce and for some reason I was compelled to try it when I saw it in the grocery store. To my utter amazement the sauce was great. It was absolutely delicious. I have bought it twice more since the first purchase. I have told so many people about the sauce and have encouraged them to but it that you should probably send me a free jar.

Don't change anything in the recipe. its perfect."

Dana G:

“I am from an Italian family who loves food and to cook with fresh ingredients. Very rarely do we ever purchase processed tomato sauce for our pasta and cooking recipes.
Also, I am not usually one to purchase celebrity-endorsed food products but I had a manufacturer’s coupon for Paul Sorvino’s sauce, and I purchased the Neapolitan Marinara. I was drawn to it because it used San Marzano tomatoes. I usually purchase Progresso products for my cooking.
I must say that I made a dish with this sauce and it was incredible!!!!! The sauce is so light and fresh and NATURAL. My family went crazy for it! I brought the leftovers (I could not believe there was even ANY!!!!) to work to share with my co-worker, who is also my fellow “foodie” and loves to eat and cook Italian meals, could he not believe I bought the sauce from a jar at the supermarket.
I am so pleased with the sauce, a jar is going in my co-worker’s and MY DAD’s stocking so they can begin to use it when he is in a “pinch” for fresh marinara.
While it costs a little more than other sauces on the shelves, it is worth every penny, and I will continue to purchase it and recommend it to my friends who love food and cooking as much as I do.
Ps. Once I get my hands on some lobster ravioli, you can BET I am going to try the Pink Vodka Sauce . . . . . you have saved me so much time!!!!!!
Merry Christmas and keep up the great work!”

Janice Golubchik - Manchester, NJ:

“My husband and I just finished eating dinner and I had to run in here and send this email. I have been married for over 30 years and have been making my own gravy for almost that long. My recipe is from my Sicilian mother in law who is an amazing cook but it is nowhere near as good as this was. We bought a jar of the Marinara Sauce and it was delicious enough to drink! I have never had better sauce in my life including homemade and out at a restaurant.
Thank you for making such a wonderful product. From now on I think I will make my meatballs in the oven and just serve it with your marinara sauce. Why cook my gravy for 4-5 hours when it can’t even come close! I will be passing the word out to all of our friends of relatives so that they will be able to enjoy these great products also.
Paul Sorvino has always been one of our favorite actors who knew that he would be making one of my favorite foods as well. Happy Holidays and thank you again for making staying home and eating dinner a more enjoyable pastime than going out to eat…..and in these economic times a lot cheaper too! “

James & Lisa Duncan - Foxboro, MA:

"Your Vodka sauce was wonderful."

Paulina C.:

“I have never in my 40+ years of cooking used a jar sauce until I tried yours. My family loves it too!! I have always made my own. Now I keep your marinara sauce in my cabinet. Thank you for making such good sauce, especially the right amount of garlic. I just took out eggplant parmesan from my oven for Sunday dinner!!”

Lisa T.:

"I just tried your Marinara sauce for the first time. Served it to my guests and we were all in agreement: 'This sauce is really good!!' It saves me from having to make my homemade. Will be purchasing this again."

Christopher M.:

"Keep up the good work."

Deb S.:

"I tried your Marinara sauce last night and I found it to be the best bottled sauce that I have ever had. I admit, I bought the jar only because I had a coupon, but I will not buy any other brand from now on, coupon or not. My husband and I loved this sauce. thank you so much for sharing this wonderful product with the public. No false advertising here. It is 'Simply the Finest'."

Dennis V.:

"I just wanted to THANK YOU for making a wonderful sauce! I used to have home made sauce every weekend when I lived at home, but since I have moved out, I have tried a lot of jar sauces & I even tried to make my mom's sauce but it is not the same. So I said 'let me try Paul's sauce' & and I have to say for a 'jar sauce' it tastes like you were in my kitchen making it. Wonderful! Thanks again."

Michael L.:

"I am a third generation 26 year old Italian American with a penchant for good food(s). My wife and I sometimes just don't have the time for the big production with cooking. After work we're both usually exhausted. I've tried a ton of other jarred gravy out there and never really found any to my liking, until now. I think Mr. Sorvino has really put out an excellent product that tastes restaurant caliber. I hope to see more of them released in the future, maybe a spicy kind like a Fra Diavolo etc...
Please keep up the excellent work. Thank you"

Kelly F.:

"We love the Marinara. My Mother-in-Law recently suffered a heart attack that she, thankfully, has weathered quite well. So, of course, as a family we have started to look at our food and dietary information when buying anything prepared. In fact we normally choose to make most food from scratch with fresh ingredients but my hours at work have been changed and I don't get to cook fresh meals everyday.
That being said, salt is a major factor. In the supermarket, your marinara sauce was the lowest in sodium. We bout it, paired it with nice pasta and hoped for the best.
We were very pleasantly surprised. This marinara was delicate and flavorful. You can taste all of the ingredients. The sodium was never missed.
Thank you for a great product.
p.s. The next day, we were walking near Grand Central Station and saw Paul Sorvino on the street (if it wasn't him then it could have been.) I really wanted to say how much we enjoyed the marinara, but being New Yorker's we don't like to accost our celebrities."

Marjorie J.:

"I have got to tell you that your marinara sauce is really terrific. I always make homemade sauce and my family would give me a hard time if I made my pasta with Jarred sauce. Well I ready the label of your product and it had the same ingredients that I use so I bought it. Tonight I made spaghetti and and meat balls using your sauce and it was a big hit.
Thanks for making a quality product which is 'simply the finest'."

Grace Z.:

"Dear Mr. Sorvino - My husband and I just tried your marinara sauce and it's great! I love to cook and have been cooking since I was 11 and was so pleased, nothing artificial, delizioso! I just made Eggplant Parmigiana and used this sauce. but I would like to ask you a questions. My family fries the eggplant without any bread crumbs, but the eggplant soaks up so much oil. Any suggestions? Thank you, good luck to you!"
