Frequently Asked Questions
Does Carbone Classic Vodka Sauce contain allergens?
Yes. This sauce is made with cream and Parmesan cheese, so it contains milk, and it is produced in a facility that may also handle other allergens between production runs. Anyone with a dairy allergy should read the printed ingredient label on the jar before using it, since allergen statements can vary by batch.
How should I store Carbone Classic Vodka Sauce?
Keep an unopened jar in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight. Once opened, refrigerate the jar and use the remaining sauce within about five to seven days, stirring before reheating since the cream-based sauce can separate slightly on standing. Always use a clean utensil when scooping sauce from the jar.
What makes Carbone Classic Vodka Sauce different from Carbone Marinara?
Classic Vodka Sauce is built on cream, butter, and Parmesan cheese blended with tomatoes and a splash of vodka, giving it a rich, velvety texture. Carbone Marinara skips the cream and relies on vine-ripened tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a lighter tomato sauce. Both share the same 15 oz jar size and gluten-free recipe.
Where is Carbone Classic Vodka Sauce made?
Read the printed label on the jar for the manufacturer's current sourcing and production details, since packaging can be updated between runs. The recipe is inspired by the vodka sauce served at the Carbone restaurants in New York City, and the jarred sauce is sold as a gluten-free, no-preservative product available as a Single jar or Pack of 3.
Very tasty as usual and excellent package
The spice level was perfect. I am not one of those people who can eat dozens of jalapeños, but I do love a good spicy dish. This was ideal as it had the right amount of spicy flavor without lighting my entire mouth on fire. Great flavor overall. Arrived well packaged. The box has a nice presentation for gifts or a special dinner.
This pasta sauce is AMAZING ! You can taste the quality and freshness in every single bite. We used to use Rao’s sauce and this is far superior.The 4 variety package deal is the way to go - so you can try them all!!!!My hubby used the tomato basil for his homemade eggplant Parmesan (pictured above). Delicious!
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)I recently had the pleasure of trying Carbone Marinara Pasta Sauce, and let me tell you, it has become an absolute game-changer in my kitchen! As a self-proclaimed pasta enthusiast, I've tried my fair share of pasta sauces, but Carbone Marinara takes the crown for its unparalleled flavor and quality.The first thing that struck me was the rich, aromatic scent that filled my kitchen as soon as I opened the jar. It's a tantalizing blend of tomatoes, garlic, and a perfect balance of herbs and spices. The sauce has a homemade feel that transports you to an Italian kitchen with every whiff.Texture-wise, Carbone Marinara strikes the ideal balance between smooth and chunky. The diced tomatoes add a delightful texture, making each bite a satisfying experience. It clings perfectly to the pasta, ensuring that every strand is coated in delicious goodness.But let's talk about the star of the show – the taste. Carbone Marinara is a symphony of flavors. The sweetness of the tomatoes, the savory garlic, and the aromatic herbs come together in perfect harmony. It's not overly sweet or overly tangy – just the right blend to satisfy even the most discerning palate.What sets Carbone Marinara apart is its versatility. While it's fantastic on traditional pasta dishes, I've also used it as a pizza sauce and even as a dipping sauce for breadsticks. It elevates every dish it touches, turning a simple meal into a culinary delight.Another notable aspect is the quality of ingredients. It's evident that Carbone takes pride in using premium, natural ingredients without any artificial additives. As someone who values wholesome, high-quality products, I appreciate the effort they put into delivering a sauce that not only tastes great but is also made with care.The jar is a generous size, making it suitable for family dinners or multiple servings. Plus, the resealable lid ensures that the freshness is preserved for future use.In conclusion, Carbone Marinara Pasta Sauce has become a staple in my pantry. If you're a pasta lover like me or just someone who appreciates a top-notch marinara sauce, do yourself a favor and give Carbone a try. Your taste buds will thank you!

I love Carbone pasta sauces. My favorite is the Marinara! I received the four jars of garlic sauce today but two of the jars were broken and sauce was all over. I did contact Amazon and they refunded my total order and escalated my complaint. Items broke due to poor packing! The small inside box had a caution about item being "GLASS" but that info was not indicated on delivery box! So now, I went ahead and ordered 4 jars of the Marinara so I'm hoping none of those jars will be broken!!!
The roasted garlic sauce was amazing! Tossed it with some frozen Ravs from Trader Joes and my crew all cleaned their plates! My daughter went back for more sauce w her garlic bread. No added sugar and an ingredient list that is transparent and clean’. ! Sign me up for more. Bravo, Carbone -its not just for Kim K now.
You can tell this sauce is thoughtfully created in small batches to perfection. The sauce has great consistency and just the right amount of spice.The packaging that the sauce came in had great branding and artwork also.Cool brand. Can’t wait to try more of their flavors.
When you don't have Italian family members who have recipes for excellent tomato-based pasta sauces, it is difficult to recreate the amazing flavor that one finds in well-known restaurants. Ever since I heard about Carbone's sauce becoming available via Amazon, I jumped right in to place two orders right away.You won't be sorry.
Hard to believe sauce of this caliber is available anywhere. Have used in lasagna, late night pasta dinners with sausage. Perfect no matter how you use it.
These sauces taste soooo good
I always figured Marinara was Marinara so I used Ragu or Prego. A friend turned me on to Carbone and I'll never go back. I opened the jar and took a whif, that was all it took. Carbone tastes like the best sauce you've gotten at an Italian restaurant.When I dip my mozzarella sticks in it they don't get "wet" like with the other brands. They get perfectly coated in flavor.This IS the secret sauce. This is that flavor you've been wanting.I don't usually write reviews but I'm not usually this impressed.
Every one was delicious!
The sauce is very good!
Best tasting pasta sauce by far. It is expensive so I always stock up when it’s on sale.
I absolutely love this sauce! 10/10. Is great straight out of the jar over plain pasta. You don’t even need parm. Great to have on hand for an easy meal.
Bien
Tasty, has a slight “bite”
Pricey but the best canned tomato sauce I've ever tried.
The best marinara sauce. It’s pricey, but I stock up when Publix has a BOGO. Literally tastes like it’s homemade.
Incredible flavor!!! Easy to make
Good but probably not worth the extra price. To be honest the organic form Smiths is equally good.
This pasta sauce is very good. Since Rao introduced their Arrabiata and Marinara I have stopped making homemade sauce. Simply not worth the cost & effort. Carbone is also fab. Honestly, by the time you pay for the ingredients, you will spend more than the cost of this jar. If you have an overabundance of tomatoes in your garden or an Italian grandma who makes sauce for you go with that. Otherwise, just buy this.
This pasta sauce is so delicious. My husband made some meatballs and this sauce went absolutely perfect with it. The flavor is very fresh and earthy, does not taste processed.
The best ever
Very delicious but cheaper buying in bulk at Walmart.
was very good
