Any Italian restaurant will do this. But it’d be tacky to just order sauce. On your next big order just ask for a large (quart?) side of sauce. Say the kids like dipping bread into it. It won’t be more than $10. A jar of Rao’s is right in that range.

It is not tacky to buy something that a store or restaurant sells. They also don’t care what you are doing with it; no need to “cover” with a silly story about dipping bread.


I’d be embarrassed just buying off-menu sauce from a restaurant. It’s tacky.


DP. Why do you think it’s tacky? Do you think sauce in a jar is tacky too, or just restaurant sauce?


Because it seems to be an off-menu friendly gesture, so they’re doing you a favor. It is absolutely uncouth to just walk in and ask for a quart of sauce while getting nothing else.


No, it's couth... definitely.
