Yes it's sweet and I love it. Just like my Sicilian great-grandma made.



My friend's family is Sicilian and she says the same.

I like Monjuni's sauce with the bread slices they give you complimentary, but I usually switch to something with another sauce for my entree order.

I second the Michael's of Brooklyn brand for jarred sauce.

I think Monjuni's sauce has changed over the years, but what hasn't. I think it is too sweet now. I mean, sugar belongs in red gravy, my great grandmother from Italy put sugar in her gravy, but too much is too much.

It also isn't hard to fry some tomato paste, garlic and onions, add some tomato sauce and season to get a nice gravy sweetened to taste, but I grew up with that kind of thing.

I’m getting away from jarred sauces, instead I just use some San Marzano tomatoes, cook down some paste, add some anchovy, garlic, onion, and maybe a tablespoon of sugar.
