Sunday Sauce (for two)
For Italian-American families, Sundays weren’t just another day of the week—they were an event. The sauce simmered for hours, Grandma guarded the pot like it contained state secrets, and somebody inevitably got sent out to grab bread, wine, or the one ingredient everyone forgot. Rooted in our New York Italian heritage, this tradition is about more than just a meal. It’s about gathering around the table, telling the same stories for the hundredth time, and making room for anyone lucky enough to pull up a chair. Every Sunday at Pelato, we’re proud to carry on that tradition and share a little piece of our family’s table with yours.
